Spector NS Pulse II 5 5-String Bass Guitar – Black Stain Matte

Get Iconic Design and Striking Looks with the Spector NS Pulse II 5 5-String Bass Guitar in Black Stain Matte

The NS Pulse II features Spector’s iconic curved body design and a selection of impressive features including a Quilted Maple with a Swamp Ash body, a Roasted Maple neck with a Macassar Ebony fingerboard, active EMG pickups and Spector’s TonePump Jr. pre-amp. The deep stain colors & matte finish provides a durable, yet refined look.

This NS Pulse II model features a solid Swamp Ash body paired with a three-piece Roasted Maple bolt-on neck, complete with a Macassar Ebony fingerboard. The roasting process results in a neck that provides enhanced stability & resonance, while the Macassar Ebony fingerboard ensures clear note definition and projection. It is also equipped with EMG active pickups, and Spector’s proprietary TonePump Jr. active pre-amp. This combination yields a range of impressive and aggressive noise-free tones.

Additional features like a locking bridge, illuminating side dots, and a custom 12th fret inlay round out an already impressive feature set. NS Pulse II basses are available in three distinct colors, Black Cherry, Black Stain, and Ultra-Violet, each with a durable matte finish.
