Spector- not a current fusion

Oh dear, what's this about the Spector design being a monstrosity of current design fusion? Spector basses had been around since 1974 so any resemblance issues you acknowledge currently is the draw from this design, not the Spector being a cross between some recent make. Tsk tsk tsk...

Before moving on to EBMM, Dave La Rue was with Spector. The image above was etched in my mind when I first saw it because he was one of the very few bass specialists who incorporated a whammy bridge in his bass.( I had a chance to try a Spector bass at Davis when they used to have them there, I clearly remembered it was a blue 4-string model but I ended up buying the EBMM Sub 1 bass instead). This feature wasn't brought over to the EBMM basses he plays today. I was thinking if Stuart Spector transferred his bass design to the guitar, it would be splendid. So it came true for me.
