Spector Icon NS-2 Bolt-On White Gloss 4-String Bass Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Spector Icon NS-2 Bolt-On brings the unmistakable NS body shape, premium active electronics and distinctive Spector styling into a professional 4-string bass built for stage, studio and everyday playing.

Finished in crisp White Gloss with contrasting gold hardware, it features a fully curved alder body, three-piece maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and polished brass nut. Custom-voiced Aguilar DCB pickups and an Aguilar OBP-2 active preamp provide the powerful, articulate sound expected from a modern Spector.

What Makes the Spector Icon NS-2 Bolt-On Special?

The Icon NS-2 Bolt-On has been developed around specifications established by Spector's Custom Shop team, giving it the sculpted body contours, neck profile and playing feel associated with the wider NS family. The solid White Gloss finish is paired with gold hardware, Crown fingerboard inlays and a brass nut for a striking take on the classic Spector aesthetic.

Its custom-voiced Aguilar DCB Reverse P/J pickup set offers a strong combination of punch, definition and clarity. These feed an Aguilar OBP-2 active two-band preamp, giving the player direct control over bass and treble frequencies alongside volume and pickup blend.

Who Is It For?

The Icon NS-2 Bolt-On is ideal for bassists who want the distinctive feel and active sound of a Spector NS bass in a versatile bolt-on instrument.

Its Reverse P/J electronics make it suitable for rock, metal, funk, pop, fusion, modern worship, recording and session work, while the 34-inch scale and fully curved body make it equally capable as a regular gigging instrument.
