With decades of exceptional bass making under their belt, Spector has taken their top-quality construction to new heights ? and lows ? with the NS Dimension. This 5-string bass is the first of Spector's instruments to feature a multi-scale design, perfect for retaining the tone quality and clarity of roaring low tunings. High-quality woods let the NS Dimension sing, from the light and airy swamp ash body to the durable maple/wenge neck and silky-smooth wenge fingerboard. If you're like the many Sweetwater bassists who require a no-nonsense bass for a variety of playing styles, the Dimension's Fishman Fluence humbuckers are prepared to nail a wide range of vintage and modern tones with zero hum. Top it off with bright luminlay side dots, and you get a powerful bass fully prepared to bring the thunder.

Exotic tonewoods deliver a full-bodied tone





To achieve the thick, destructive tone sought by many of today's low-end warriors, Spector spared no expense in constructing the NS Dimension. Exotic woods imbue this formidable 5-string with a full-spectrum sound, starting with a deeply resonant and fully contoured swamp ash body. The eye-popping poplar burl top adds a touch of brightness to the NS Dimension's high end, accented with a sturdy, snappy, and endlessly sustaining 5-piece maple/wenge neck. When it comes to progressive playing, speed and accuracy are of utmost importance. Safe to say, the slick feel of the wenge fingerboard is perfect for nimble runs up and down the NS Dimension's 24 frets.





Endless sound options courtesy of Fishman Fluence pickups





When it comes to versatility and tone clarity, Sweetwater players will always point you in the direction of Fishman Fluence pickups. Inside its standard humbucker shell, Fluence pickups house a world of tonal variety, with multiple timbres on hand to deliver the absolute best sound for any playing situation. Original and completely reimagined, Fluence multi-voice pickups are free from the hum, noise, and annoying inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups, instead unleashing pure, uncompromising bass tone.





Modern features for excellent playability





Today's players demand a lot from their instrument, and the NS Dimension's modern features make it the perfect fit for bassists of all ages and playing styles. As Spector's first foray into the massively growing world of multi-scale instruments, the NS Dimension is ideal for lower tunings with unmatched low-end clarity and perfect intonation. Luminlay side dots are the go-to choice for players who need to navigate their instrument in even the darkest conditions.
