Westone Spectrum Series II bass
There were 3 models in the Spectrum Series II range of basses, SPB102, SPB221 and SPB 311. All of these models only appear in the 1988 UK catalogue - so while some may have been made by Matsumoku, the majority of Spectrum Series II guitars and basses were made in Korea.
