Spector Icon NS-5 Bolt-On 5-String Bass Guitar

Spector Icon NS-5 Bolt-On: The Legend You Can Hold
This isn't just another bass; it's an invitation to join a nearly 50-year legacy of thunder. The Spector Icon NS-5 Bolt-On delivers that legendary, fully curved NS body shape—a design so ergonomic it feels like it was sculpted just for you—without requiring you to sell a kidney. Crafted by the same minds that build Spector's flagship Custom Shop instruments, this bass packs all the soul, feel, and ferocity of its Woodstock-born brethren into a package that's ready to rock right out of the box.

A Body That Feels Like Home
Let's talk about that curve. The second you strap this bass on, you'll get it. The fully curved alder body hugs you back, making a 35" scale 5-string feel impossibly balanced and comfortable. It’s a design born from decades of refinement, eliminating awkward angles and letting you focus on the music. Your fingers will fly across the smooth rosewood fretboard, guided by those regal Crown inlays, while the 3-piece maple neck provides a rock-solid foundation for even the most aggressive playing styles. This bass doesn’t just fit in your hands; it becomes an extension of them.

Electronics That Speak Volumes
What’s a Spector without that signature sound? We teamed up with the wizards at Aguilar to cook up a sonic engine that is pure, unadulterated power. A pair of custom-voiced Aguilar DCB soapbar pickups deliver a sound that is both deep and articulate, with a punchy low-end that can shake the foundation and crystalline highs that cut through any mix. The onboard Aguilar OBP-2 active preamp puts you in the driver's seat, with a simple but potent set of controls—volume, blend, and a two-band EQ—to sculpt your tone from vintage thump to modern slap and everything in between.

Ready for the Main Stage
This is the Spector experience, distilled to its powerful essence. Every piece of this instrument, from the polished brass nut and high-precision tuners to the locking diecast bridge, is chosen for performance. It's a bass that stays in tune, intonates perfectly, and feels like a trusted partner, night after night. Whether you’re laying down a groove in the studio or commanding the stage, the Icon NS-5 is built to inspire, delivering the bold tone and player-focused design that has defined Spector since 1976.
