Below is the original description of the bass:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn’s NS-2 takes inspiration from the rare and radical guitars built in Kalamazoo, MI in the late 1950’s. This NS-2 is crafted with solid korina, or black limba, body wings, a three-piece maple neck, pau ferro fingerboard and a 34” scale length. For electronics, this bass is equipped with DiMarzio Model P \u0026amp; Model J pickups that are paired with an active Aguilar OBP-1 preamp that is activated with a push\/pull pot for an intuitive, pre-set boost. Aesthetically, this instrument features a vintage-tint gloss finish, Mother of Pearl dot inlays, vintage-style knobs, and gold hardware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“My vision for this instrument was to combine elements of some of the most sought-after vintage guitars with the iconic design of a Spector to create a unique, yet still classic instrument. For electronics, I chose DiMarzio pickups based on my love for vintage, Brooklyn-era Spector basses, and paired them with an Aguilar OBP-1 that can be activated with the push\/pull pot on the volume knob. The controls for the OBP-1 are hidden in the control cavity and can be adjusted to the player’s liking for a clever on-board boost when you need more bass or to cut through the mix.” - John Stippell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer.
