Spector: NS Ethos Deep Dive with Ian Allison

Overview

Spector’s unique approach to the electric bass has resonated with countless players over the years. Central to its design is one crucial element; neck-thru construction. The NS Ethos Series offers players a fresh take on this now classic design with updated finishes and premium electronics from Aguilar. The NS Ethos and its neck-thru construction provides players with striking mid-range presence and the unrivaled playability that Spector is known for.

Spector’s NS Ethos range celebrates the brand’s iconic legacy while simultaneously incorporating fresh features that matter to the modern player. The iconic curved body is carved from solid Maple and is adorned with a highly figured Poplar Burl top. The 3-piece Maple neck features a 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard, adorned with a custom Spector logo inlay on the 12th fret.

When it comes to electronics, the NS Ethos employs Aguilar’s premium pickups & OBP-2 active pre-amp for a wide range of usable and musical tones. NS Ethos basses are available in two distinct finishes including Interstellar and Super Faded Back. These eye-catching, high gloss finishes are inspired by our USA Series instruments and lend an extra level of sophistication to these instruments.
