Graph Tech Guitar Labs, a vanguard in music technology, proudly announces the release of its innovative ‘HeliumX / Ghost Saddle’ – a game-changing product designed for electric basses, multi-scale basses, and bass ukuleles. This launch marks a significant leap in instrument versatility and performance.
The ‘HeliumX / Ghost Saddle showcases a brilliant design allowing for each saddle’s independent installation. This ground-breaking feature opens up a spectrum of configuration possibilities, accommodating 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more saddles, offering unparalleled versatility to cater to diverse musical styles and artist preferences.
Each HeliumX / Ghost Saddle is equipped with a Graph Tech Ghost pickup. Paired with the Bass Acousti-Phonic preamp, it provides a wide dynamic range synonymous with the Ghost pickup system. This versatile system can be integrated with standard magnetic or active pickup systems, enabling musicians to use either or both systems simultaneously. Additionally, instruments can be exclusively outfitted with the Ghost pickup system for unique tonal qualities.

This design supports both through-the-body and top-mount string installations, enhancing its versatility across different instrument types.
Dave Dunwoodie, Head Honcho at Graph Tech, emphasizes the product’s innovative nature: “We really designed this from the ground up for a totally new design that adds a completely new dimension to tone and versatility for bass instruments.”

Legendary music shop Chuck Levin’s has collaborated with custom bass manufacturer Spector and renowned airbrush artist Dan Lawrence to craft a collection of 12 limited-edition bass guitars celebrating the iconic Spector bass sound and New York City arts culture with The NYC Graffiti Collection. Spector has been building basses in New York for over 45 years since starting in a collaborative woodworking shop in Brooklyn, NY where Stuart Spector developed the company’s signature contoured NS body shape in collaboration with Ned Steinberger.
Each bass is constructed using Spector’s signature NS body shape consisting of solid maple wings, 3-piece neck-thru maple neck, and an ebony fretboard. They are then loaded with Spector’s HAZ 9v preamp and a set of EMG pickups – a PX/SJX set on 4-string models and a 40DCX set on 5-string models.
“I wanted to bring something into the store that paid homage to Spector’s ties to New York City, ” shared Romero. “[Spector] had never worked with Dan Lawrence before and most of the [custom painted] instruments you see from the 80s and later have been done by Dan Lawrence. So I gave [Dan] a call and explained to him the idea of doing this special run of basses with Spector, and he said he was excited to work with the legendary brand.”

“We gave Dan a bunch of words that are tied to the Spector brand and sort of come off like a graffiti tag, ” shared Taylor McLam, Sales Manager at Spector Bass. “All kinds of references to Brooklyn, references to hip hop, references to famous graffiti artists, there’s bass clefs in there, there’s all kinds of cool details. I’ve been around these for a while now and I’m still noticing unique nuances.”
Seen in the hands of artists as diverse as Sting, Nikki Sixx, and Doug Wimbish, the signature Spector growl is both respected and beloved by everyone who picks one up. Celebrating this history and heritage was a core objective of the NYC Graffiti Collection, but it wasn’t always obvious how to express this.
“I enjoyed working with Spector Bass and Chuck Levin’s WMC team. This opportunity to design the NYC Subway Graffiti project and seeing it turn to reality is what makes my job worthwhile, ” shared Dan Lawrence.“Carlos [and his son] gave the idea to create the NYC Subway VIBE. I assure you, I have never tagged a wall with a spray can but have a whole new perspective and appreciation for street artist. Thank you again for including me in this special collection.”

These basses are available exclusively at Chuck Levin’s, a legendary family-run music shop in Silver Springs, MD, and premier Spector dealer. Chuck Levin’s celebrated its 65th Anniversary in 2023, and has been a Spector dealer since the late 70s when the NS-2 was available in just one color.
Its body evokes impressions of gold & white flashes and stars against the background of deep black space. Others may look on it as a shapely work of art chiseled out of exquisite black marble. But fear not, the body is made from alder, the whole bass comes in at 3.8 kg (8.4lbs), as spine-friendly as it gets for a 5-string with 24 frets.
The underlying bass model is BITE’s proprietary premium model, the Evening Star, with its signature inward-curved horns. The neck is made from roasted hard maple, the fretboard is from roasted flamed hard maple, the hardware includes a GOTOH premium bridge and is 24-carat real gold-plated. And all that flashing and marbling is just another hand-painted masterpiece by BITE’s chief artist who previously worked as a scenic painter on Oscar and Palme d’Or movies.

The sound, you ask? Unsurprisingly, we’re dealing with BITE’s own 1000-millivolt high-output passive pickups, this time in a PJ configuration. BITE never installs other than its own pickups, certainly one reason for BITE’s 4.9/5 average customer rating. To complete the rundown, the wiring is a standard Jazz-type parallel circuit (Volume-Volume-Tone).
You want exactly the same bass, just different? 4 strings, left-handed, short-scaled, blue flashes, different circuit?
