The Spector Europe Series Doug Wimbish Signature Model was made from precise measurements taken from Doug's 1987 USA NS-2.
The Spector Europe Series Doug Wimbish Signature has a unique thin neck, more commonly attributed to basses which are designed to play jazz music. This "narrow" measurement of 1.5 inches is taken from the width of the nut. The standard NS-2 and Euro4LX nuts are 1.64-1.65 inches wide.
This small difference equates to a noticeable difference in string placement on the neck. This neck was originally custom made to a narrower (1.5") nut width for Doug and the body was carved out of highly figured quilted maple.
A highly respected and sought-after master of his instrument, Doug records and performs with a diverse roster of talent. From his early days with Sugarhill Records, to his pioneering work in TackHead and Living Colour, Doug is best described as a musical virtuoso. His repertoire reads like a whose who of Rock, Pop and Hip-Hop; The Rolling Stones, Mos Def, Depeche Mode, Madonna, and Jeff Beck, to name a few.
