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 35DC 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.
