With a career spanning decades and a reputation as one of rock and metal’s most formidable bassists, LoMenzo brings his signature style and energy to the Spector family.
“I’m immensely proud and excited to have the opportunity to be a new brand ambassador for one of my favorite basses of all time, Spector,” said LoMenzo. “I was first made aware of these amazing basses when I was starting out in the clubs in NYC in the early ’80s. They were THE top-end basses made in my hometown Brooklyn. Back then one hit song after another featuring the aggressive up-front sound of these basses played on the radio. Looking back, I can’t believe I never picked up one of these basses for my collection—their recorded legacy alone speaks for itself!”
LoMenzo’s journey with Spector came full circle during the recording of Megadeth’s latest album. “While prepping for our latest Megadeth record, our co-producer/engineer Chris Rakestraw told me about his most recent bass acquisition—a new Spector Euro CST. I had the opportunity to try it out when I got together with the guys at our studio in Tennessee and was blown away. Great to play, amazing in-your-face tone—I just kept it strapped on and recorded the entire album with it. Since I couldn’t convince Chris to sell me his, I had to get my own.”
Fans can catch James LoMenzo live on tour with Megadeth, where he’ll be wielding his Spector bass on stages around the world. “Come on out and see me rip it up with Megadeth and my very own Spector bass out on The Killing Road!”
Spector Bass is thrilled to support LoMenzo’s continued musical journey and looks forward to the powerful performances and recordings to come.
