Frank Bello: “I am so psyched to join the Spector family, a place that already feels like home to me! The great people at Spector listened and contributed to every detail that I was looking for in a bass, and I am truly so excited for everybody to see what we’ve come up with. It was great to have the opportunity to bring some Spector basses on tour to give them a test run, and I can honestly say they checked all the boxes, and then some.”
