A true modern classic – First introduced in 1977, Stuart Spector’s NS basses have set the industry standard for modern, neck-thru body electric basses. Individually crafted by hand in small batches by expert luthiers in Woodstock, NY, USA Series basses are constructed from the finest source materials, including hand-selected tone woods from the most fertile regions of the United States. From the elegantly carved NS contoured body shape to our coveted active tone controls that contribute to the now-famous 'Spector growl', USA Series models represent the pinnacle of electric bass design.
