At Interstellar Guitars, we believe tone should be limitless—and the Spector NS Ethos 5 is built to explore new sonic galaxies.

Finished in a breathtaking high-gloss Interstellar burst, this NS Ethos 5 perfectly aligns with our cosmic namesake. The stunning, highly figured Poplar Burl top shimmers like a distant nebula over a solid Maple body, delivering both striking visuals and powerful, articulate tone. Inspired by Spector’s revered USA Series, the Ethos range blends iconic legacy design with modern performance features demanded by today’s bassists.

The signature curved NS body sits comfortably and resonantly, while the neck-thru 3-piece Maple neck provides exceptional sustain and stability across the extended 35” scale—perfect for tight, focused low B response. The 24-fret Rosewood fingerboard features a 16” radius and a sleek “C” profile for fast, effortless playability. A custom Spector 12th fret inlay, previously reserved for USA models, adds an elegant finishing touch.

When it comes to tone, this bass is mission-ready. Dual Aguilar DCB G4 pickups paired with the powerful Aguilar OBP-2 active preamp deliver warmth, clarity, punch, and precision. With independent volume controls for each pickup plus Bass and Treble cut/boost, you can dial in everything from deep, thunderous lows to articulate, cutting highs—perfect for rock, funk, metal, fusion, gospel, and beyond.

A Hi-Mass Locking Bridge with intonation screws ensures rock-solid tuning and sustain, while sealed die-cast tuners keep everything stable under pressure.

This is a bass built for players who want commanding low-end authority, refined aesthetics, and modern versatility—all wrapped in a finish worthy of its cosmic name.
