Beautifully Designed Short-scale Electric Bass
When you’re wanting a lighter, smaller 4-string electric bass that doesn’t compromise big bass tone, the Spector Bantam 4 is a standout choice. This 30-inch short-scale bass begins with a gorgeous chambered European alder body that is finished in a stunning gloss that makes this bass stage-ready and a delight to look at. A stunning 3-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard offers exceptional playability and response, and a pair of EMG dual-coil humbuckers deliver a wide array of classic humbucking bass tone — ideal for heavier styles of music but also suited to softer genres. And to top it all off, an EMG BTC active EQ circuit provides exceptional tone versatility when used in conjunction with your amp and pedals of choice.

Forty years of focused excellence
Spector brings 40 years of design and engineering into its Bantam 4, and it shows. The body design on the Bantam 4 is sleek and contoured on the back with carved scoops for comfort. The chambered body keeps this instrument light and resonant. The deep-inset, bolt-on neck is resonant and a delight to play. The matte-finished 3-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard feature 22 medium jumbo nickel frets that provide stellar intonation up and down the neck.
Huge variety of bass tone options
The EMG 35DC dual coil humbuckers are active and have an internal electronic preamp that keeps these pickups noise-free and clear. The 35DCs are known for their stellar low-end output and wide-open tone. These pickups are also paired with an EMG BTC active EQ system that lends a massive array of tone-shaping options from full and round to treble-enhanced “zing” — a feature bassists here at Sweetwater really love.
