Reclaimed Redwood Makes This Bass a Rare Gem

Featuring the inviting contours and wide tonal range that Spector is known for, the Spector USA NS-2 electric bass delivers the high-performance experience world-class players depend on. And to put this USA NS-2 in a league all its own, the body is crafted from reclaimed redwood to set a mature, time-cured tonal foundation. Equipped with a pair of EMG active pickups you'll enjoy classic P Bass and J Bass tones, with plenty of headroom to keep your sound punchy and dynamic. Whether you choose it for its comfortable, high-performance feel and playability, its outstanding tonality, or spectacularly figured maple top, your expectations will be exceeded with the Spector USA NS-2 electric bass.

Discover your ideal bass tone with EMG PJX active pickups

A premium instrument such as the Spector USA NS-2 bass deserves top-shelf electronics, and that's why it comes equipped with EMG's PJX active pickups. Combining a J Bass single-coil pickup with a P Bass split-coil pickup, you can tap into fat, punchy rock tones, mid-focused jazz and fusion tones, and any combination thereof. This high-headroom electronics package also offers plenty of dynamic range to keep your tone punchy and vibrant.

The bass that fits like a glove

Spector (with the help of Ned Steinberger) developed the contoured NS body design in 1977, prioritizing the player’s comfort for possibly the first time in the history of the bass guitar. And players soon took note, with iconic bassists such as Garry Tallent, Ian Hill, Rudy Sarzo, and countless others taking to the stage with Spector basses. This iconic body style balances well and feels supremely comfortable against your body and arm.

Spector USA NS-2 Electric Bass Guitar Features:

  • The original NS body style, acclaimed for its comfortable and sleek feel
  • Reclaimed redwood body has matured and cured to perfection over time
  • Highly figured maple top entraps the eyes
  • Easy-playing 24-fret pau ferro fretboard rests upon a C-shaped maple neck
  • EMG PJX active pickups deliver iconic bass tone with impressive headroom
  • Spector Custom bridge and brass nut enhance sustain and note definition

Beautiful but...

This is a beautiful bass. Havings said that I was dissappinted that it did not really have any different features than the Euro model I bought a few years ago. Everything about this besides the wood and finish were no different and it is really disappointing to by a bass at this proce and have it only come with a soft case. Totally not worth the prce tag or even half of the price tag. Definite buyers remorse on this one.
