It doesn’t matter if it’s a guitar, a ukulele, a violin, or the new Spector Timbre acoustic bass guitar; when you get down to it, an acoustic stringed instrument is a wooden box set up to amplify the vibrations of a string. The best are efficient machines that make the most out of your playing technique—when one is working right, it feels like magic. The Spector Timbre Bass feels like magic, but after playing it for a few weeks, I have a good feeling that the results come more from Spector’s decades of building experience than sleight of hand or ancient potions.
Many luthiers theorize about the importance of a good connection between an instrument’s neck and its body. The idea is that a good connection between the two parts transfers more energy from the vibrating string into the instrument’s body, exciting the body’s natural amplifying ability. If there’s any credence to this theory, the Timbre Bass embodies it.
