The Spector Icon NS-5 Bolt-On 5 string bass brings the classic curved NS body to a modern bolt on format with a 35 inch scale and active Aguilar electronics. This Black Gloss model uses an alder body, 3 piece maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The combination gives players a familiar Spector feel with extended 5 string range for stage and studio work.

Aguilar Electronics with Flexible Tone Control

Two custom voiced Aguilar DCB soapbar pickups feed an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp. Separate volume and blend controls make it easy to move from one pickup emphasis to a balanced response. Treble cut and boost plus bass cut and boost provide active shaping for deeper low end, clearer highs, and different playing styles. The dual soapbar layout is specific to the 5 string NS Icon Bolt-On.

Custom Shop Guided Neck and Hardware

Spector specifies the neck profile through its Custom Shop team. The 3 piece maple neck carries a rosewood fingerboard with a 15.75 inch radius, 24 frets, and Crown Shape inlays. A 1.81 inch brass nut and 35 inch scale support the extended range layout. Gold hardware includes a locking diecast bridge, sealed diecast tuners, and signature style control knobs. Nickel round wound strings use .045 to .130 gauges.

The fully curved alder body follows the established NS form and is finished in Black Gloss. With active Aguilar electronics, a long scale neck, and hardware selected for the NS Icon platform, this 5 string bass is built around tone shaping, playing range, and the visual identity associated with Spector.
