Dominate the low-end with Spector's classy Euro 5 Classic bass guitar

By Jackson Maxwell

This five-string moves effortlessly from menacing lows to beautiful, chiming harmonics in the blink of an eye

Illustrious users of Spector’s Euro Series bass guitars include Sting, T.M. Stevens and Doug Wimbish - so when you pick one up yourself, you know you'll be handling a dynamic, ultra-high-quality instrument.

The Euro 5 Classic five-string model takes its inspiration from the Euro Series, and - with its weight-relieved North American maple body wings, three-piece maple neck-thru construction, rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, complete EMG electronics package and Spector hardware - is certainly no exception to this high standard.

A few days back, we called up our old friend, GW columnist and bass wizard Matt Scharfglass, to take the Euro 5 Classic for a test drive. You can check out his demo above.

Even from the first few seconds of the video, you'll hear how the Euro 5 Classic moves effortlessly from menacing lows to beautiful, chiming harmonics in the blink of an eye.

Jackson is an Associate Editor at GuitarWorld.com. He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player (opens in new tab). Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder (opens in new tab) and Unrecorded (opens in new tab). Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.
