This NS Pulse 2 is an amazing playing bass. The roasted maple neck sets it a step above in terms of silky smooth feel and nice bright, snappy tone. In addition to the feel of the neck, the matte finish on the stunning maple capped ash is quite the showpiece. Finally, the Tone Pump Jr. married to the EMG pickups delivers the sonic punch that you have come to expect from a Spector. An all-around winning combination from Spector for under $1300.
The NS Pulse II represents the core of Spector’s iconic design. The three-dimensionally carved body is a trademark of the Spector brand and provides a uniquely comfortable playing experience for all bassists. The NS Pulse II basses feature a highly figured Quilted Maple top and 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. This model is also equipped with EMG active pickups and the Spector TonePump Jr. active pre-amp. This combination yields a range of impressive & 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.
