Video Review: Spector Bantam

Posted: 24/07/2018
"At Gi, we have a lot of respect for Stuart Spector and his work. His bass designs are iconic and are used the world over by some of the very best in bass guitar including, Doug Wimbish, who has a pair of great instruments that have notched up an incredible amount of recording, touring and clinic hours. Dan Veall takes a long look at this short scale bass with the Spector Bantam 4."

Much like the Trace Elliot Elf head and matching cabinet we have also reviewed in this issue, the Spector Bantam also makes me look like a character from ‘The BFG’. It is, much like the duck breed of the same name, the smaller to it’s larger cousin. Yes indeed, I haven’t suddenly piled on the pounds (well maybe a few) but what you’re seeing is a shorter scaled, downsized, but no less than full-fat Spector bass. This isn’t an entry-level instrument either, this machine is in the same price bracket as it’s Euro model family members."
