Spector USA NS-5H2-EX 5 String Bass

Spector's USA Series™ Bolt-On Basses offer a the same quality, tonal range and versatility as the Neck-Thru basses but are specifically designed for those who desire the feel and sound of a bolt-on neck. Lighter than the Neck-Thru NS-Bass™ Models but with the same ergonomic comfort that makes the NS-Bass™ so comfortable to play.

These basses are powered by ACTIVE EMG® Pickups and Aguilar’s® Dynamic OBP-3™ Tone Circuit.

Each model features Spector's ORIGINAL DEEP SOCKET NECK INSERT™ design.  Stuart Spector invented this neck/socket design in 1982 to allow bolt-on basses to have increased sustain and stability.

This bass comes with a newer-modified NS-Body™ design.  This design uses the original NS-Body™ profile but has less rounding of the main body planes.  The horns are not as round and the back body curve is slightly less dramatic than the Neck-Thru NS-Bass Models™.

This model has a solid lightweight Mahogany body with a sold top of exotic wood (EX).
3 Piece Rock-Maple graphite reinforced neck with 24 fret Pau Ferro (Bolivian Rosewood) fingerboard and mother of pearl SPECTOR® Crown Inlays.
