Spector NS-2 4 String Neck Thru - Maple Burl & Swamp Ash

The Spector NS-2 is one of the most iconic bass designs ever built, and this 4-string neck-thru example shows exactly why it has been the gold standard on stages and records for decades. Sculpted, aggressive, and endlessly musical, the NS-2 delivers that unmistakable Spector authority with modern refinement and stunning visual impact.

This bass pairs a figured maple burl top with a swamp ash back, finished in a natural clear oil that lets the wood breathe and resonate while showing off every detail of the grain. The solid, no-weight-relief construction gives it punch and sustain, yet it still comes in at an impressively comfortable 7 lbs 13 oz. The legendary neck-thru design features a 3-piece maple neck with Spector’s thin profile, offering fast, effortless playability all the way up the 34-inch scale.

The pale moon ebony fingerboard adds a striking contrast and a crisp, articulate response, accented by maple burl crown inlays. Green Luminlay side dots with black borders make sure you always know where you are, even on the darkest stages. A swamp ash headstock, pale moon ebony logo, and matching truss rod cover tie the entire aesthetic together with understated elegance.

Tonally, this NS-2 means business. The Aguilar AG 4P/J-HC pickup set delivers massive low end, authoritative mids, and clear, punchy highs, with the versatility to cover everything from classic rock and funk to modern metal and pop. The OBP-2 preamp provides powerful, musical EQ shaping, controlled by custom maple burl knobs that complete the look.

Hardware is rock solid and stage ready, featuring a lightweight aluminum bridge for enhanced resonance and sustain, Hipshot UltraLite tuners, and a Hipshot Bass X-Tender for instant Drop D access. Black hardware, Dunlop straplocks, and a premium hard case round out a bass built for serious players.

This Spector NS-2 is a perfect blend of iconic design, modern performance, and boutique-level craftsmanship. If you want a bass that feels fast, sounds huge, and looks unforgettable, this one delivers in every way.
