Darkglass-infused Low-end Machine

Lay down the law with Spector’s NS Dimension High Performance multi-scale bass guitar! Sweetwater was immediately enthused when Spector unveiled this addition to the NS line. With a solid alder body, 3-piece maple neck, and ebony fingerboard, you’ve got a road of high-performance grooves stretching out before you. One of the coolest features of this unique Spector is the Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp combined with two EMG humbuckers for highly versatile tonal possibilities. With the NS Dimension High Performance, you can harness the respected tone and power of a Spector bass whether you’re dipping your toes into the deep end or seeking a step up from your current instrument.

Primed for performance

The Spector NS Dimension High Performance Bass is ready to tackle any modern gig or practice session. Built with a solid alder body, a sleek 3-piece maple neck, and an ultra-smooth ebony fingerboard, it’s primed to perform with style. To facilitate a quicker, more agile performance, Spector provided the NS Dimension High Performance with a multi-scale fingerboard. If you’ve never played one, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you adapt to the fret spacing and how speedily your hand glides from top to bottom. A Modern D neck profile and 16-inch radius further aid in player comfort. Packed with 24 jumbo nickel/silver frets, a locking bridge, and sealed die-cast tuners, this Spector has everything required by the modern-day bassist.

Darkglass preamp + EMG pickups = powerful modern tone

The Spector NS Dimension High Performance Bass boasts two humbucking EMG pickups that deliver a versatile tonal palette. EMG engineered the two coils and ceramic bar magnets of these EMG 40DC humbuckers to output powerful modern sound that isn’t shy about cutting through a mix. It’s all here, from clean highs to downright dirty lows. But the electronics of the NS Dimension High Performance bass have something unique under the surface: a Darkglass Electronics Tone Capsule. This Darkglass preamp respects the natural sound of the bass and expands the tonal possibilities of the EMGs. Tweak Bass, Lo-Mids, and Hi-Mids to conjure your optimal sound. The Tone Capsule can function with either one or two batteries in series for 9V or 18V operation.
