Manufacturer's Description

For decades, Spector has been synonymous with streamlined, neck-thru bass instruments that have redefined the essence of modern bass tone. Now, we proudly introduce the NS Ethos HP basses, the high-performance additions to our beloved NS Ethos line, inspired by the timeless legacy of our classic 4- and 5-string basses.

Rooted in the lineage of iconic Spectors played by renowned artists such as Sting, Jason Newsted, Rex Brown, and Alex Webster, HP basses propel us into the future of Spector design. These instruments boast 3-piece maple necks, with ebony fingerboards, that traverse the entire length of the instruments, joined by two sculpted alder wings. A combination of EMG DC pickups and Darkglass Tone Capsule preamps deliver the perfect fusion of power and clarity.

With your choice of White Sparkle, Solid Black, Plum Crazy, and Gunmetal gloss finishes, these basses always look the part.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE DESIGN

Spector neck-thru construction with illuminating side dots, wrapped in a sleek and classic White Sparkle, Solid Black, Metallic Plum, or Gunmetal Grey gloss finish.

PREMIUM PICKUPS & ELECTRONICS

We paired EMG DC Pickups and Darkglass Electronics Tone Capsule preamps for an aggressive take on Spector’s signature tone.

CLASSIC TONEWOOD COMBINATION

A 3-piece maple neck is capped with a dark ebony fingerboard, then joined by two resonant solid-alder wings.

Overall Condition

This is a new B-Stock bass with the original box and paperwork. Spector is very picky on its product quality, a little discolored tiny spot or blemish or little finish run on the finish of the bass. A lot of times we can't even tell what is the difference between these and the A-stock guitars, but despite any blemishes, they sound, feel, and look amazing! Photos are of the exact bass you'll receive.

Our in-house guitar tech will inspect, test, set up, and clean all of our instruments on site prior to shipping. All of our instruments are guaranteed to be fully functional upon arrival.
