The Spector Legend 4 Standard's iconic Ned Steinberger-designed NS body, beautifully rendered in lightweight ash with an eye-popping flamed maple veneer top, delivers style and performance that meet the needs of working pros and weekend warriors alike. The Legend 4 Standard's easy-playing 3-piece bolt-on neck is built from maple and pakauk and fortified with a heavy-duty dual-action truss rod for rock-solid stability. On top, an amara fingerboard with dot inlays delivers classic Spector playability. Onboard you'll find a pair of custom-wound Spector P/J pickups and a proprietary active 2-band EQ packing 12dB of boost and cut. Whether you're staking your claim in the Spector Bass landscape for the first time or looking for a high-performance stage axe, the Spector Legend 4 Standard from Sweetwater is a sound investment.

Powerful Spector P-J pickups





The Legend 4 Standard holds down the low end in style. That's largely thanks to a pair of powerful Spector pickups, fitted in classic "P-J" configuration. This arrangement gives you the low-end punch from the split-coil P-style pickup in the middle position, along with the aggressive growl from the J-type single-coil at the bridge. Mix up your signature blend, and you're ready to rock.





Active 2-band EQ





The Legend 4 Standard comes equipped with a proprietary preamp circuit with interactive bass and treble controls that provide for 12dB of boost or cut. Combined with individual volume controls for each pickup, the Legend 4 Standard has the sound-shaping capabilities to handle any style of music you're likely to encounter.
