NBD! Spector NS Pulse 5 string

[Reedt2000]

Bought this from Sweetwater cause it's so lightweight at 8 lbs 3 Oz. I'm really digging it, it setup with really low action and no buzz, factory fretwork is great, and it sounds fantastic

The finish is smooth and feels really good, the neck is roasted maple and has a comfortable profile. It's not too thick but not too thin either. Not only does this bass look cool and sound great, but it's gonna feel great on my back during 3-4 hour gigs!

I'm very happy, for not a crazy amount of money the NS Pulse performs just like I want a bass to. If you're thinking about getting one I highly recommend it

I was looking at these a couple days ago. I was surprised Sweetwater still had some in stock. Very nice-looking bass!

Beautiful bass. What is the string spacing and does it balance on the strap with no neck dive?

Beautiful bass. What is the string spacing and does it balance on the strap with no neck dive?

Spacing is .66" which is a touch bigger than 16.5mm. I've been playing tighter spaced 5s for a long time so it feels good to me. It doesn't dive at all, I use a 2.5" leather strap that does have texture on the underside so I don't know what it would do on a thin nylon strap. Overall it's really comfortable to play long gigs with.
