Its combination of alder for the body topped with jaw-dropping flamed maple lays a punchy tonal foundation for a pair of EMGX pickups.These pickups have an exceptional organic nature to their overall sound due to a newly designed internal pre-amp, which allows for more gain to come from your amp and instrument, rather than from the pre-amp. The effect of this new design is to provide more headroom and overall body while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMGs are renowned for. Lows will be rock solid, high-mids will cut through like the sharpest knife and the treble will be sweet and never grating on the ears. So if you are going for chunky low-string riffing or want screaming string bends in the high register, the X series covers all techniques while retaining superior dynamics.  Illustrious tonewood recipe with showstopping looksTo give it its bold and brazen sonic base, Spector outfitted the USA NS-5XL with elite-quality tonewoods proven to lend clarity and power to your playing. It all starts with a solid alder body capped with stunning flamed maple, keeping this bass light in weight with plenty of airiness and added bite. The USA NS-5XL's 3-piece maple neck feels silky smooth in the hands, capped with glass-like ebony and boasting a neck-through construction for easier access to the upper frets. All of this combines to form an infinitely gigable bass with stellar looks to match — best of luck putting this workhorse down once you thump through a few licks!The bass that fits like a gloveSpector (with the help of Ned Steinberger) developed the contoured NS body design in 1977, prioritizing the player's comfort for possibly the first time in the history of the bass guitar. Players quickly took note, with iconic bassists such as Garry Tallent, Ian Hill, Rudy Sarzo, and countless others taking to the stage with Spector basses. This iconic body style balances well and feels supremely comfortable against your body and arm.Spector USA NS-5XL Bass Guitar Features:The original NS body style, acclaimed for its comfortable and sleek feelLightweight alder body topped with stunning flamed maple for a solid tonal foundationEasy-playing 24-fret ebony fingerboard rests upon a "C"-shaped 3-piece maple neckNeck-through construction allows for easy access to upper fretsEMGX active pickups deliver wide-ranging tone in complete claritySpector Custom bridge and brass nut enhance sustain and note definition
