The new Spector NS Icon Bolt-On series is basically the answer to the question “can I get a kickass Spector at a price that the bank isn’t gonna come and take my house”?
Both the 4- and 5-string NS Icon Bolt-On versions share the essentials that have made Spector an industry standard: a fully curved alder body topped with quilted maple, a bolt-on three-piece maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and premium appointments like Crown inlays, a brass nut, a locking bridge, and gold hardware. Players can choose from sleek gloss finishes (Black or White) or richly stained options (Black Cherry or Black Stain).
Where the models diverge is in the electronics tailored to their voices. The NS Icon Bolt-On 4-string features a Reverse P/J pickup combination for articulate low-end punch and crisp attack, while the NS Icon Bolt-On 5-string wields dual soapbar pickups for extended-range clarity and modern versatility. Both are powered by an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp, tuned in collaboration with Aguilar to retain the trademark Spector growl while offering a wider tonal palette.
Whether you crave the classic punch of a P/J setup or the thunder and flexibility of a 5-string soapbar configuration, both models deliver the craftsmanship, tone, and playability that have defined Spector since 1976.
