Spector Updates Rudy Sarzo Signature Model

Spector Updates Rudy Sarzo Signature Model

The Euro4 LT Rudy Sarzo is outfitted with Spector's lightweight locking bridge and nut and Gotoh GB-350 tuners to keep the weight to a minimum.

Spector Musical Instruments announces the introduction of the Euro4 LT Rudy Sarzo – the newly updated Sarzo signature bass, developed in close collaboration with legendary rock bassist Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake, others).

Few bassists have covered more ground over the years than Rudy Sarzo. When it came time for Sarzo to update his signature instrument, he worked very closely with Spector to ensure that the Euro4 LT RS would supply him with the feel and tone that his craft commands. The reimagined Rudy Sarzo signature model was designed to be lightweight and comfortable for long gigs and sessions. As such, the fully carved body is crafted from chambered Empresswood and adorned with a unique Figured Maple top. The three-piece maple neck is complemented with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard, adorned with Spector's signature Crown inlays. Additionally, the Euro4 LT Rudy Sarzo is outfitted with Spector's lightweight locking bridge and nut and Gotoh GB-350 tuners to keep the weight to a minimum. To make the most of this instrument, the Euro4 LT RS is equipped with the impressive Fishman Fluence multi-voice pickups and electronics system, which offers an incredible array of tones for any situation. To top it off, Rudy's new bass features a high-gloss Scarlett Red finish exclusive to this model.

Spector: Rudy Sarzo Signature Bass

Spector Musical Instruments Global Brand Manager John Stippell remarks, "Working with the legendary Rudy Sarzo is an honor, and we are very happy to bring his new signature model to life. Complete with lightweight construction and the impressive Fishman Fluence system, the new Rudy Sarzo Euro4 LT is one of the most compelling Euro models in our lineup."Sarzo notes, "My Spector signature bass is a fusion of classic Spector tone and body design with cutting-edge-technology pickups and preamp system."

The Spector Euro4 LT Rudy Sarzo bass is now available with U.S. MAP pricing of $2,899.99.

A chance glance at a Stefan Grossman LP led our columnist to discover the acoustic connections between the U.S. and Japan.

When acoustic guitarists like myself hear an album that just sounds so good, we might fuss less about gear and home in more on performance and atmosphere. Indeed, those were the things that blew me away on country-blues guru Stefan Grossman’s album from the late ’70s, Acoustic Guitar. Dynamic playing with a healthy big-room sound, the production was a far cry from a lot of Grossman’s late-’60s output, some of which was recorded in closets on budget reel-to-reel decks.

Over the past few years, singer-songwriter MJ Lenderman has had a taste of success with his band Wednesday and his latest solo albums. On his new solo release Manning Fireworks, his artistic depth is on full display in his carefully unwinding, twanging riffs and sage lyrics, informed in part by a sturdy sense of humor.

English actress Glenda Jackson is credited with what’s now become an old performance-art adage: “Comedy is much harder to do than drama.” During my time living in New York City for the last eight-and-a-half years, I spent countless hours in open-mic basement dungeons—where small rodents would occasionally die and pungently decay beneath the floorboards and cellar stairwells—studying amateur standups workshop ideas in two- to seven-minute allotments of stage time.
