Spector 50th Anniversary SB-1 #21 of 50 Lightly Figured Maple #2150

Introducing the Spector SB-1 50th Anniversary Edition, an exceptional Custom Shop instrument that commemorates the origins of Spector’s legendary craftsmanship. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, this highly collectible release marks the long-awaited return of the historic SB-1, meticulously recreated in New York to honor its mid-1970s Brooklyn roots.

Originally designed by Stuart Spector and Alan Charney, the SB-1 predates the famed NS series and stands as a testament to the brand’s earliest innovations in electric bass design. This anniversary edition faithfully captures the spirit and unique details of those original builds, while delivering the elevated fit, finish, and reliability expected from a modern Custom Shop creation.

Crafted with solid, lightly figured maple body wings, the SB-1 offers a clear, articulate tonal foundation with excellent sustain and visual elegance. Its 3-piece maple neck, shaped to a comfortable standard profile, is paired with a smooth Pau Ferro fingerboard adorned with classic mother-of-pearl dot inlays and white side markers for effortless navigation. A matching wooden headstock with an inlaid MOP logo completes the refined, vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Equipped with a DiMarzio Model One pickup, this bass produces a warm, full-bodied tone with rich low-end presence and vintage character. The passive volume and tone controls provide straightforward, responsive sound shaping, making it equally at home in the studio or on stage.

Premium hardware includes a brass bridge for enhanced resonance, gold Spector-branded Gotoh tuners for precise tuning stability, and Dunlop Straplocks for secure performance. With a traditional 34" scale length, a comfortable 1.64" nut width, and a balanced weight of 9 lbs 4 oz, this instrument delivers a familiar yet distinctive playing experience.

Each SB-1 50th Anniversary Edition comes complete with a hardshell case and represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Spector history, an instrument that beautifully bridges vintage heritage and modern craftsmanship.
