A truly exceptional example of American boutique bass craftsmanship, this 2025 Spector USA Custom Shop NS-2 New Era combines the iconic NS design with an absolutely breathtaking Ultra Violet Gloss finish. Handcrafted in Woodstock, New York, this beautiful instrument delivers the unmistakable Spector experience with the added comfort and playability of a 32" medium scale.

The spectacular quilted maple top features deep, three-dimensional figuring beneath its rich translucent violet finish, complemented by a lightweight swamp ash back, matching purple-stained neck, elegant pearloid crown inlays, and contrasting black hardware. Spector's legendary sculpted body design brings everything together in an instrument that's as visually striking as it is comfortable to play.

Beyond its incredible looks, this NS-2 is built to deliver the powerful, articulate tone that has made USA-built Spectors legendary. A classic EMG P/J pickup configuration paired with Spector's highly regarded HAZ 9V active preamp offers everything from warm, rounded lows to aggressive midrange growl and crisp, cutting highs. Its intuitive volume, pickup pan, bass, and treble controls provide tremendous tonal flexibility for virtually any musical setting.

The 32" medium-scale design makes this instrument particularly appealing to players looking for a slightly more compact and comfortable reach without sacrificing the authoritative low end and unmistakable character of a full-size professional bass. Paired with its smooth pau ferro fingerboard and neck-through construction, the result is an incredibly refined playing experience.

This example comes to us from its original owner and remains in excellent condition, showing no notable signs of wear. It has been fitted with SIT Power Wound nickel roundwound strings (.045–.105) and includes its original Spector hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and accompanying factory accessories.

An outstanding opportunity to own a distinctive, American-made Spector Custom Shop bass!
