I am offering for sale this rare 2007 Spector NS-2 bass, what sets it apart from most other NS-2s is that the P pickup on this one is flipped around and in the opposite position than like how they are on almost every other NS-2. According to PJ from vintagespector.com this bass was from a limited run of only 8, and was done as sort of an experiment to hear how different the "non reverse" P pickup would sound in comparison to the typical reverse P pickup configuration. It originally came in a natural clear finish but was repainted transparent purple.

Overall it is in very good shape, there are a couple of small shallow dents that don't go through the finish and aren't very noticeable on the front along with a few more on the back, mostly in the top left area of the body. The dents that are more noticeable are shown in the last two photos, one is on the top side part of the body and the other ones are on the rear tip of the headstock.

The locking hard shell case is also in very good shape inside and out still has the key for the locks, and two matching gold strap locks will also be included.

I have not sold any items on TB classifieds before but if you would like to see the feedback from items I have sold through Reverb you can do so here: https://reverb.com/shop/gear-emporium-4190/feedback#

So I emailed PJ over at vintagespector.com to ask him for more info about this bass and he did confirm that it is in fact 1 of only 8 ever made, here is what he wrote in his email:

NS-2 #569 (2007)
I remember these reverse P pickup basses well.
remember that the original NS-1 basses from the late 1970s had the Dimarzio P pickup in Fender P position and orientation.
Stuart and I wanted to know what an NS-2 would sound like with a non-reversed P pickup, in its standard NS-2 position. so we made a few of these (qty 8) "NS-2R" basses as you called them.

I am the keeper of the older hand written serial number sheets. I looked up your bass. it was correctly noted as having a natural oil and wax finish, and was sold to our Japanese distributor at that time.
these basses were not noted on the sheets as having reversed P pickups, good thing I remember them!


So there you go, just in case anyone was wondering. 😎

Just out of curiosity, if this was refinished, was it sent back to Spector to have the signature and headstock info re-written?

The original signature is still there, thankfully it was written under the original clear coat and the guy I took it to to have it refinished said he was very careful not to erase it.

Price lowered... also I was looking over the bass again and there is another (thankfully tiny) dent on the rear of the headstock that wasn't there when I first took the photos :confused: Not sure how or when it happened but I'm updating the ad to reflect that and putting her back in her case so she'll be safe and sound until she goes to her new home.

Was going to hang on to this one but I ended up buying another bass that ended up costing a lot of money so It's back on the market, hurry up and grab it before I change my mind again :p
