Spector ICON NS-5 Neck-Through Series 5-String Bass Guitar - Purple Cherry

Performance-Driven Tone - The Spector ICON NS-5 Neck-Through Series 5-String Bass Guitar in Purple Cherry

In summer 2025, Spector launched the Icon NS Bolt-On series, delivering a true Spector experience for the generation of bassists. Building on that success, they're adding the final ingredient to the classic Spector recipe: neck-through construction.

• Spector signature curved body
• Custom shop neck carve
• Classic Crown inlays
• Aguilar DCB pickups and OBP-2 preamp

Neck-through construction has been synonymous with Spector since its inception. Popularized in the '70s at the height of the boutique-bass era, this design approach was developed to offer greater tonal nuance, sustain, and flexibility than previously possible. The new Icon NS Neck-Through basses continue this tradition.

Designed by the Spector Custom Shop, these bases feature Spector's signature curved body, custom shop neck carve, and classic crown inlays, paired with the winning combination of Aguilar DCB pickups and OBP-2 preamp, which has received a fantastic response in their Bolt-On line.
