Spector NSPULSE4CINDER NS Pulse 4 – Electric Bass with EMG PJ Pickups – Cinder Red (Limited Edition)

Description

Rocking the professional features that have made Spector basses coveted by top bassists worldwide for over four decades, the Spector NS Pulse 4 gives you a sleekly sculpted ash body carved from solid swamp ash for a bright, deep, punchy, and authoritative tone. The fast 3-piece roasted maple neck runs the entire length of the instrument and is topped by a silky smooth 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard. Specd with premium EMG P/J pickups and Spectors acclaimed TonePump JR 2-band preamp system, the NS Pulse 4 is a high-performance instrument that delivers the tone, playability, versatility, and sophisticated visuals todays bass players demand.

Powerful EMG P/J pickups

The NS Pulse 4 holds down the low end in style. Thats largely thanks to a pair of powerful EMG pickups, fitted in tone-enhancing reverse-P/J configuration. This arrangement gives you the low-end punch from the split-coil EMG P pickup in the middle position, along with the aggressive growl from the J-style single-coil at the bridge. The reverse split-coil configuration maximizes low-end articulation, while rounding out notes played on the high strings. This makes total sense in a P/J-equipped bass, as you can dial in as much high end as you want with the bridge pickup and the active 2-band EQ. Mix up your signature blend, and youre ready to rock.

Spector TonePump JR Active Preamp

The NS Pulse 4 includes Spectors TonePump JR active preamp. This preamp employs JFET-based circuitry rather than op-amps, which yields many tube-like characteristics. When you overdrive an op-amp (something that happens at the peak of nearly every note you play), it clips and needs a moment to recover. This results in a perceptible tone loss. Like tubes, the TonePumps JFET-based circuitry doesnt do this. Rather, it softly distorts, producing a second harmonic that fuses seamlessly into your note. Beyond that, the signal right after the peak comes through loud and clearno recovery time required. Were really impressed with the clarity of this preampit makes a world of difference!
