Spector NS Ethos High Performance 4 Bass Guitar - Gunmetal Gloss

4-string Electric Bass Guitar with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Gunmetal Gloss

Louder Roar for the NS Ethos

It’s hard to happen upon a bassist at Sweetwater who doesn’t dig Spector’s NS Ethos! But for the lot that requires the growl of greater output, the High Performance model is ready to oblige. The NS Ethos High Performance delivers everything you love about the original bass — a 3-piece maple neck-through design, top-notch hardware, and that classically contoured alder body — but with a voice equipped for virtually any circumstance. By way of dualling EMG 35DC humbuckers, the NS Ethos High Performance conjures any tone you like, from subtle cleans to snarling crunch, with the effortless capacity to really turn up the heat when you need to cut through the mix. And to make it easier to reel in the right sound, Spector’s classic array of per-pickup volumes and opposing Treble and Bass Cut/Boost controls give every player the shaping power needed to sound their best from show to show.

Flawless feel, bass-wide

Offering a solid weight for the stage, the alder body of the NS Ethos High Performance supplies outstanding groundwork for growling bass tones. Plus, those huge and iconic Spector horns look tough and deliver a flawless feel for all frets! Speaking of frets, you’ve got a whopping 24 to work with, all stationed atop a gloriously smooth and remarkably sustain-filled ebony fingerboard. However, what connects the two is perhaps just as important, if not more: a neck-thru design crafted from 3-piece maple. Shaved to a comfortable “C”-shaped profile, the neck of the NS Ethos High Performance gives its playability that extra push over the edge — talk about flawless feel!

More power!

An armament of EMG 35DC humbuckers gives the NS Ethos High Performance its name, and understandably so! These pickups come engineered with dual coils and ceramic bar magnets that offer a high-output delivery tuned for aggressive delivery and powerful performances onstage. But beneath the temptation of high-output harshness is an impressively diverse tonal palate. When you don’t require as much growl, the NS Ethos High Performance extends its range into marvelously clear territories. And its sonics are professionally shapeable, courtesy of a 4-control layout boasting per-pickup volume knobs and both Treble and Bass Cut/Boost controls.

Built to be pushed

The glue that holds any high-quality bass together is its hardware, and the NS Ethos High Performance is equipped with the best around. At the body, durable dome knobs offer a substantial feel and classic look, while the steadfast locking bridge anchors down your intonation. Similarly, at the headstock, a set of premium sealed die-cast tuners hold tuning with performance-grade dependability, providing a stellar 20:1 gear ratio for tuning adjustments with maximum precision. From funk to heavy metal and bar gigs to the big stage, you can count on the NS Ethos High Performance to have your back when it matters most.
