Spector NS2000

The Spector NS2000 is a model made in Korea. That's really the Asian equivalent of the model above: the Spector Euro. The look is typical of the brand, that is to say by far it is almost indistinguishable with Warwick.
Configuration: 4 strings, 24 frets, nut brass and bridge, 2 EMG-HZ passive pickups like cobblestones, electronic active EMG-BTC, 2 volumes microphones, a serious one Augu.
Rosewood body and neck (through) maple covered with a beautiful varnish finish, translucent blue / gray.

UTILIZATION

This bass is well balanced first, the head does not sting the nose. In addition, the weight is light enough (about 4.5 kilos), which is really comfortable if you play for hours standing. To top it off, the body of the NS2000 is ergonomically curved to better follow the contours of your abdomen (beer lovers will appreciate!).
Contact the neck finish is, in my opinion, very pleasant to the touch, and allows the left hand to move quickly. Access to acute and really easy and the action is decent for those who appreciate the settings like "strings-of-flush frets".
As for the sound, the NS2000 is more like "you plug and it sounds right away" (see below ...).

SOUNDS

Essential chapter in a notice to be given on an instrument: SOUND.
I use my Spector NS2000 to play jazz, blues and funk. In all these styles, it fits perfectly.
I play mostly by cutting the neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume and bass and treble pots being pushed to the maximum. Once plugged into my Trace Elliot SMX three bodies, and I get a round, delicate and precise, highly crystalline and full of punch, but not turn aggressive in the midrange frequencies, as is often the case in other brands of Asian productions (Ibanez, Cort, Aria ...).
There are then a little sound Warwick, and even the current sound of Mark King of Level 42 when he plays on his Kingbass Status.
So it is a truly exceptional coffee for both slappeurs (it responds and it sounds like not possible) than for bass playing pizzicato (a round, punchy and warm to Pasto with a little more gloss).
The neck pickup sounds great too. It delivers a serious clean bass that will delight porfond reggae and metal. But personally, I never use it.

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, I would say that there is not much to take on this bass. In its price range for a Korean model, it goes far beyond the Ibanez, Cort and consors. I can not imagine how American models should sound. It must be a killer.
This is a great bass that is perfect for semi-pro bassist who I am, for the styles of music I play ..
