If you play bass, you might be one step closer to feeling famous, especially if you’re a fan of James LoMenzo. The incredibly talented bassist, who’s been with Megadeth on and off since 2006, is the newest addition to Spector Bass, acting as one of the brand’s newest ambassadors. Good for you, James!

Here’s what he said about the good news:

“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,” LoMenzo said. “I was first made aware of these amazing basses when I was starting out in the clubs in [New York City] 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 has used Spector basses for years, and got his chance at this particular opportunity recently while working with the rest of the band on the new Megadeth album. Now, he’ll be taking his Spector bass on the road for Megadeth’s tour in a more official capacity.

“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.

“Come on out and see me rip it up with MEGADETH and my very own Spector bass out on The Killing Road!”

Congrats to you, James! We know you use the Spector Euro CST, but hopefully you’ll get your own soon. The “Spector LoMenzo 9000” sounds pretty cool, though I’m sure y’all would come up with a better name.
