The Spector NS-2 4-String Neck-Thru Fretless brings together the unmistakable character of the NS-2 design with the fluid voice and expressive feel of a fretless instrument. Built with a 34" scale and standard 1.64" 4-string nut width, it features a chambered body constructed with a beautifully bookmatched Box Elder top and Swamp Ash back. The natural clear stain and oil finish allow the distinctive grain and organic character of the selected woods to remain at the center of the instrument's visual identity, creating an understated yet captivating appearance.
A 3-piece Roasted Maple neck carries Spector's Standard NS profile, providing a familiar foundation for the fretless playing experience. The Ebony fingerboard is lined with Plain Maple, offering visual guidance across the smooth, unfretted surface while retaining the open character of a true fretless design. With no inlays, the fingerboard maintains a clean and uninterrupted appearance, complemented by blue Luminlay side dots for enhanced visibility. The headstock continues the natural aesthetic with a matching Box Elder veneer and truss rod cover, while the custom Blue Luminlay logo adds a distinctive finishing detail.
The tonal architecture centers around an Aguilar DCB-4J pickup set paired with Aguilar OBP-3 electronics, giving the fretless NS-2 a broad and responsive palette for expressive playing. Standard pickup spacing preserves the familiar layout, while the brass bridge provides a solid anchor for the strings. Hipshot UltraLite tuners offer smooth tuning control, and the black hardware creates a striking contrast against the natural wood finish. Schaller straplocks provide secure attachment during performance, while the included staff signature gives this particular instrument an additional personal touch.
Weighing 8 lbs 4 oz, this fretless NS-2 balances its chambered construction with the substantial presence expected from a neck-through bass. Its combination of Box Elder, Swamp Ash, Roasted Maple, and Ebony creates a visually distinctive instrument, while the lined fretless fingerboard and Aguilar electronics invite a more fluid and expressive approach to the instrument's voice. Complete with a hardshell case, this Spector NS-2 4-String Neck-Thru Fretless is a carefully appointed bass that brings together natural beauty, sophisticated electronics, and the unmistakable character of Spector craftsmanship.
