Spector Icon NS Neck Through - The Signature Spector Recipe
In Summer 2025, we introduced the Icon NS Bolt-On series with a simple goal: to bring the unmistakable Spector experience to more players than ever before. Building on that success, we're now adding the final ingredient to the classic Spector recipe: neck through construction. Introducing the Spector Icon NS Neck Through series.
Neck through construction has been part of the Spector story from the very beginning. Emerging in the 1970s during the height of the boutique bass era, this design approach offered players greater sustain, enhanced resonance, and a more connected feel from the first fret to the last.
Designed in Woodstock, NY, the Icon NS Neck Through models bring together the details that make a Spector unmistakable: our fully curved body shape, custom shop neck carve, and signature crown inlays. Each bass features alder body wings paired with a 3-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, with the sustain, stability, and responsiveness that have made neck through Spectors iconic.
Visually, the Icon NS Neck Through series draws inspiration from our custom builds. Each model is topped with highly figured quilted maple. Gold hardware completes the look, including a fully intonating locking bridge, high-precision tuners, polished brass nut, and signature Spector control knobs.
At the heart of each Icon NS Neck Through is a custom-voiced Aguilar electronics package, pairing Aguilar DCB pickups with an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp, delivering deep, punchy lows, articulate mids, and crystal-clear highs. The 4-string models feature a Reverse P/J pickup configuration.
