USED Spector / NS-X Black 1984 [05]

A rare model from Spector's history is in stock!

This model was designed by Ned Steinberger for Spector as a tribute to Steinberger's headless basses, which were popular at the time.
A prototype was created in late 1983 and production began in 1984. As you all know, production was discontinued in 1985 when the company was acquired by Kramer.
During that time, only a little over 100 pieces were produced in total, making it a very rare model.
This is one of the very few without a serial number.

Maple neck, Rose fretboard, and the body is probably made of maple.
The pickups are EMG-HB x2 with caramel back and passive control with 2Volume and 1Tone. The logo position on the pickguard and the use of HB pickups indicate that Steinberger's influence was significant.

The brass nut and the bridge with saddle lock mechanism are elements of the Spector bass. Incidentally, the bridge is heavyweight at about 700g.

Thanks to the neck, sitting down to play is no problem. When you pick it up, you will be surprised at how well thought out the design is. The compact head design, achieved by placing the pegs in the opposite direction, is also interesting, although not as interesting as the headless design.
It is also important to note that the nut width is 36.5mm (actual measurement), which is even thinner than the JB type.

There are some signs of use such as dents and scuffs, but considering the age of the instrument, it remains in good condition.
There is a mark where the position of the strap pin was changed, but it has now been returned to the original position and partially repainted, so it is not noticeable.

A gem of its time.
Why not add it to your collection?
