The Spector Euro 5 CST is inspired by the brand’s renowned Custom Shop heritage, combining boutique craftsmanship with cutting-edge performance. Built with a beautifully figured poplar burl top over a resonant European ash body, this bass offers a balanced tonal foundation with rich mids and articulate highs. The Natural Black Burst Gloss finish enhances the wood’s natural beauty, making it as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive.
Designed for serious players, the 5-string configuration features a neck-thru construction with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering outstanding sustain, stability, and smooth playability across all 24 frets. Laminated abalone crown inlays add a refined touch, while the extended 35” scale ensures tight low-end response—perfect for modern bass styles and extended range performance.
At the heart of the Euro CST lies its powerful electronics package. Active EMG X Series pickups provide clarity, punch, and low-noise performance, while the Spector Legacy preamp—developed with Darkglass Electronics—offers flexible EQ shaping and the signature Spector growl heard on countless recordings. Combined with premium hardware and precise construction, this bass is built to perform at the highest level on stage and in the studio.
