Description

The NS-5 Bolt-On Black Stain Gloss is a 5-string electric bass from the Icon Series, developed by Spector in the USA Custom Shop labs and produced in Spector's Indonesian factory for bassists seeking tonal versatility, comfort, and modern elegance, featuring Aguilar DCB Soapbar pickups and an OBP-2 preamp, offering the best value for money on the market.

The Icon NS-5 Bolt-On Black Stain Gloss represents the perfect combination of Spector tradition and innovation. With its bolt-on construction, while retaining the iconic features of the NS series, it offers an affordable yet professional-grade alternative. The Alder body with Spector's typical curvature and a quilted maple top, combined with the Black Stain Gloss finish, gives it a modern and aggressive look. The bolt-on neck joint ensures an immediate and incisive attack, while the 3-piece maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and Crown inlays recalls the aesthetics of the USA Custom Shop and Euro models.
