The Spector NS Ethos 5 Bass blends decades of iconic design with modern performance, delivering a professional-grade 5-string built for today’s demanding players. Featuring Spector’s legendary NS body shape and neck-through construction, this bass offers exceptional comfort, balance, and sustain.

Crafted with a burled poplar top and a 3-piece maple neck-through design, the NS Ethos 5 produces a powerful, articulate tone with excellent resonance and clarity. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with a 16” radius provides a smooth, fast playing experience ideal for everything from tight grooves to technical runs.

Equipped with Aguilar DCB G4 humbuckers and the highly regarded Aguilar OBP-2 preamp, this bass delivers clean highs, punchy mids, and deep, growling lows with impressive headroom. The active 2-band EQ allows for precise tone shaping, making it versatile enough for any genre or playing style.

Premium hardware includes a brass nut, locking bridge, and die-cast tuners, ensuring excellent sustain, tuning stability, and reliable performance on stage or in the studio. Finished with a USA Series-inspired look and a custom 12th fret inlay, the NS Ethos 5 stands out visually as much as it does sonically.
