Spector Icon NS-2 Neck-Through Electric Bass Guitar - Black Stain

Neck-through construction is one of the defining ingredients in the Spector formula, and the Spector Icon NS-2 Neck-Through electric bass guitar brings that architecture into the Icon family with a 34" scale and modern Aguilar electronics. Designed by the Spector Custom Shop, this 4-string bass pairs a highly figured quilted maple top and alder body wings with a 3-piece maple neck-through core, rosewood fingerboard and Custom Shop-derived carve. A custom-voiced Aguilar DCB Reverse P/J pickup set and OBP-2 preamp give the instrument an active voice with deep lows, articulate mids and clear highs, while the fully curved NS body keeps the playing experience unmistakably Spector.

Neck-Through Construction With Custom Shop-Derived Feel

The 3-piece maple neck runs through the body as the structural core, joined by alder wings and the quilted maple top for a classic Spector tonewood recipe. A 34" scale, 15.75"-radius rosewood fingerboard, 24 frets and signature Crown inlays support familiar 4-string proportions with plenty of room across the neck. Spector’s fully curved body and Custom Shop-derived neck carve bring the ergonomic feel of the NS design into a neck-through Icon built for long rehearsals, recording sessions and live sets.

Aguilar Reverse P/J Electronics With OBP-2 Control

Custom-voiced Aguilar DCB pickups use a Reverse P/J configuration to combine split-coil authority with bridge-position definition. The Aguilar OBP-2 preamp provides active bass and treble cut/boost, while volume and blend controls make it easy to balance the two pickups around the song or playing style. The result is a broad working range that moves from weighty low end to articulate midrange presence and clearer top-end detail without losing the focused attack associated with a Spector bass.

Gold Hardware and Classic Spector Appointments

A polished 1.62" brass nut, fully intonating locking die-cast bridge and high-precision sealed die-cast tuners give the Icon NS-2 a durable gold-hardware package rooted in familiar Spector details. The Black Stain gloss stain sits over the highly figured quilted maple top, with Crown inlays and signature Spector control knobs completing the visual identity; nickel roundwound .045-.105 strings and an included gig bag round out the setup. For players who want the classic Spector neck-through recipe in a traditional 4-string format, the Icon NS-2 combines heritage construction with an active Aguilar voice ready for stage or studio.
