NAMM 2026 USA Spector NS-5 Custom Build 


I’m listing both of my NS-5’s, but I will sell only one. I’m doing so to see what’s out there and for a possible cash sale. 


This one is a rarity and a stunner.

It is 1000% perfect, flawless, as new. 

What’s unique is its Kramer era body specs, including J/J’s and solid, top-grade quilted body wings, while it also has the amazingly slender and fast Wimbish neck profile. 

As a NAMM 2026 Feature, this bass had gold hardware, standard Spector/Gotoh tuners, and a 2-band 9V HAZ preamp. After the NAMM Expo, bass was sent back to Spector in NY for fine tuning. At that time, I had the hardware factory replaced with a black brass bridge; black Hipshot Ultralites, and black strap lock buttons. I also had Spector replace the 9V 2-band HAZ with an 18V 3-band HAZ. Everything was done by Spector in-house. I’m the original owner and bought it new from an authorized Spector dealer - although once completed, it shipped directly from Spector NY to me (that was just in late February).


Added some photos of the bass with Spector at NAMM 2026.
