Spector Introduces Coda Pro Basses
Spector will be unveiling their Coda Pro series basses at NAMM this year. The new models offer the company’s classic inspired Coda at a lower price point by building them in their Korean Factory.
Available with four or five strings, the Coda Pro basses feature two EMG HZ passive single-coil pickups paired with Spector’s TonePump Jr. active 9-volt tone circuit. The bodies are made from non-figured solid maple with a Genuine Figured Quilt Maple top. The necks are one-piece rock maple with rosewood fingerboards.
The Spector Coda Pro 4 and Coda Pro 5 will be introduced at NAMM with list prices of $1,199 and $1,299, respectively. For more info, check out the Spector Bass website.

Well, I know my next purchase ;).
How much would one of these babies cost. O.o
I really love the natural finish.
“The Spector Coda Pro 4 and Coda Pro 5 will be introduced at NAMM with list prices of $1,199 and $1,299, respectively”.
*sigh* =.=
I regret asking
Fear not, list prices are considerably higher than retail…my guess is they’ll actually sell somewhere in the $800-$900 range :-)
Yeah, I’ve read that they’re gonna be 850-950 on the streets… and a staff member from the Spector team told me that the first shipment to arrive to the USA in April… can’t wait to get my hands in one of them!
cool. The US built Codas are some of the most under-rated jazz clones out there. As nice as any Sadowsky, Alleva etc…
as usual Spector has made a great instrument at an affordable price.
Gee… another Jazz bass. How original.
As long as we’re doing throwback basses, I want an Alembic Series 1 copy. I would love one of those. Or just for fun, a Peavey T-40 copy so an entire generation can relive their high school jazz band days.
Turns out they do make a T-40 style bass. It’s kinda cute. Has Sammy Nestico arrangements dripping out of it already.

This is what Stuart Spector gets for selling his company.
From what I understand, the Coda was introduced to allow Spector artists to stay under the company umbrella while still playing something with a traditional look; I can’t tell you how many gigs have asked me if I have a Jazz bass.
By the way, Stuart bought Spector back years ago and has been running it ever since ;-)
Looks like a very cool and playable bass. I had a Spector Legend 6 classic in cherry finish and it was an extremely well made bass, sounded fantastic.
