The NS-5XL utilizes the iconic curved NS body shape designed by Stuart Spector and Ned Steinberger (NS) 45 years ago. A true modern classic, the NS-5 features three piece maple neck through construction and active electronics to allow any player to cut through the mix. The highest quality materials and craftsmanship mean this is a bass built for a lifetime and beyond. Proudly built in Woodstock NY.
Founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1976, Spector basses have always been built with the confidence, the creativity, and the power of the greatest city on earth. Several years ago, we relocated our USA custom shop to the world-famous town of Woodstock, New York and it’s here that a small team of skilled, trusted luthiers brings to life some of the greatest hand-made basses available, just like in the early days of Brooklyn’s famed Woodworkers Collective.
