It all starts with a swamp ash body capped with a gorgeous oil finish, keeping this bass light in weight with plenty of resonance and added bite. The USA NS-5's 3-piece maple neck feels silky smooth in the hands, capped with glass-like pau ferro and boasting a neck-through construction for easier access to the upper frets. All of this combines to form an infinitely gigable bass with stellar looks to match — best of luck putting this workhorse down once you thump through a few licks! Sculpt to success with active EMG pickups A premium instrument such as the USA NS-5 bass deserves top-shelf electronics, and its onboard EMG active pickups are more than suited for the task. With a 40 DCX pickup in both the bridge and neck positions, you can tap into fat, punchy rock tones, mid-focused jazz and fusion tones, and any combination thereof — especially when paired with a built in HAZ 18V preamp unit. This high-headroom electronics package also offers plenty of dynamic range to keep your tone punchy and vibrant — and don't worry about producing maximum bottom-end boom; this pickup combination will ensure you've got plenty of rumble on hand whenever necessary. 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. Players quickly 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.
