Spector-cular Arc6 Pro!


I've acquired myself a Spector ARC6 Pro after being much attracted to Stuart Spector's basses.

As documented on the headstock, the manufacturer's name & brand emblem. The design in whole is devoid of any sharp edges/ protrusions, the headstock included.

The ARC6 Pro is a reflection of its bass siblings, sporting a curved top...

... & rear. In my opinion, this is the signature Spector feature making it less ordinary & very attractive.

6 bolts to secure the neck to the body, a little overkill but these add much to sustain.

A pair of Tesla VR-60s; these give off a mixture of vintage growl but they are not averse to high drive/ distortion settings.

Please visit Musicark @ Parklane shopping mall to check out Spector basses & guitars. Thank you Mr. Lance for all the considerations in acquiring this instrument. Not forgetting brother Firdaus (aka SicBarney) for the stellar customer service. Kudos!

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.

Alrighty! Guitar fans would like to know the Spector ARC6 Pro guitars are now available at Musicark.The (introductory) prices are very attractive for the build & tone on offer. The prices (in the mean time) include a very respectable bag.

Just a Spec


Just gotten home from Musicark.

Actually, I was from Beez's...

The inevitable happened; bought another guitar... more of this later. Need a shower.
