I will be adding more basses from my collection to the website soon, including SD-5p #001 !
Since my last Vintage Spector website additions, I have been VERY busy :
-setting up my new personal studio.
-writing, arranging, and recording my newest songs for my next album.
-learning all about the Logic Pro X recording software.
-separate from my personal songs, I am collaborating with some new friends on a band project.
-Stuart Spector and I have a new instrument company together! we will officially announce it soon. it is a small company...all of the fun without the hassles of running a larger company as we did before. in a nutshell, Stuart is handcrafting acoustic and acoustic/electric guitars and basses in his newer one-man workshop. the first instruments are dreadnought-style acoustic guitars and they sound killer! of course I will be selling our Esopus instruments. only a few dozen of these special instruments will be completed each year.
I am now set up to photograph more instruments from my collection, and I will add them to this website as soon as possible. I think there are approx 24 instruments left to photograph.
that is all for now! talk to you soon! PJ
