The Performer 4 will give you access to that modern Spector sound and playability without spending a fortune. It's got the classic curved, contoured body shape that feels comfortable to play in any situation (whether standing or sitting) and the passive EMG SSD pickups will give you a punchy, but clear bass tone.

The Performer series

The performer series are the most affordable isntruments in the Spector line. These great basses could easily be gigged with and will suit beginner to intermediate players. They offer the same workmanship and quality at a more affordable price by using a passive tone circuit rather than an active one and the more readily available basswood bodies.

History of Spector

In the late 1970?s, Stuart Spector started crafting handmade basses in his Brooklyn based workshop. By 1977 He and Ned Steinberger had designed what was to become a revolution in the bass world.

The NS-1 stepped away from traditional large, angular bodied basses and created an instrument designed for the modern musician. With curves and contours which sit comfortably against the body, the NS-1 quickly became a favourite amongst progressive players.

The legend of the NS-1 has continued to this day, and the gorgeous curved body that made it unique is used the world over. Spector basses are still a favourite amongst modern players too with artists like Mike Inez (Alice in Chains), Doug Wimbish (Living Colour) and Tom Doyle (Don Broco).

Here's what Spector say about the Performer 4

The Perfomer Series is the result of Spector?s long-time goal to offer an affordable entry-level bass that offers the quality and tonal versatility that their name has become known for.

These basses have been tried and tested by several of top professional artists and they all agree, the Performer Series is a worthy addition to the Spector family of high-quality instruments. Featuring the extremely comfortable NS body design, rock-sold bolt-on construction, and professional grade electronics, Performer basses from Spector are the ultimate entry-level instruments.
