- Over its 45-year history, Spector Bass has been well-known for its dedication to the craft of building the world's finest basses. Their legacy of innovation and quality has pushed the instrument into incredible sonic and aesthetic territory. In keeping with this heritage, Spector is proud to introduce the NS Dimension Series, Spector's first-ever multi-scale instrument.
Spector's NS Dimension Series combines iconic design with multi-scale construction, bringing a higher level of playability and tonality to Spector's dedicated legion of players. In addition to the multi-scale, neck-thru construction, the NS Dimension features a variety of premium tonewoods and cutting-edge Fishman Fluence electronics. The fully curved body is carved from lightweight Ash and features a highly figured Poplar Burl top.

All tones are running through the Kemper Profiler set to a flat SVT-CL profile with a Goliath 4x10 cab and Audio D6 mic. When distortion is present, it's the Darkglass B1K.

Wasn't expecting "Take My Breath Away," to be played lol
You guys didn't talk about the push-pull single coil mode. I own this bass and I love it. It has more tone out the B string than any bass I have played or heard. It's my definite work horse.
Yeah, that was an absolute harebrained oversight on my part.
In another dimension I might be able to afford one.
If sweetwater or ZZounds has them just do a payment plan 🤘even Bass central will probably have one they give you 90days to pay them off and will work with you if you need more time, that’s how I’m getting my NG3 paying it off
With the vast amount of pedals that are focused on modern bass tones, you can get the same sound for a lot less. Also skill helps. 🤘
@@cheesemcwhiz988 yea that’s true , mainly pup configs but you probably know as well as I do that when there’s a bass you want that’s just the one you want and no one can change your mind and a different bass won’t help lol unless that’s just me
Finance it dude!
@@punkrocktony that’s what I said!! Lol that’s how I got my NG3!
Loved that .... and justice piece that was thrown in there 🤘. Wonderful instrument
This is probably on the top of my list when it comes to basses that I want to add to my collection. Nice work gents!
"...and why I talk so much with my hands". I lol'd too hard at that. 🤣
It's gorgeous 😮
Great sounding Bass! Nice Video!
Nice to hear the Top gun bass line.
Take my breath away 😂
my next bass
my dream is standart single pickup passive precision bass with 5 strings and multiscale
Oh that infamous question of the 5 string multiscale base community... Dingwal vs specter. Lol
Bro Dingwall all damn day!!! Absolutely love mine!! Best B ever! I’m not just saying that I have a ton of basses and owned even more the o my other bass that comes close to that B is the Lakland 5502 or 5594 I didn’t think it could get better than the 5502 till I got my NG3 the videos do no justice to how beefy they truly are
@@bassimprovjams3772 I’m waiting on a Ducati white Combustion 5, never played one, but ev1 I know says they’re awesome. I played the Spector NS5 and liked it a lot, it might be my next purchase.
NICE
I’m a bit late to the party, but I remember reading online that some of the early ones had problems where the pickups weren’t long enough, and subsequently the B and G strings had a lower output that the others. Has this been confirmed, and if so, has the issue been remedied on these models?
Late response but was quietly fixed awhile ago. Hasn’t been reported for past year of new ones shipped. But was an issue in early batch I avoid serial numbers that start in 20
@@frenchieewoo3355 thanks for the reply, glad to hear it was fixed, might snag one
Can confirm - I have an early 2022 serial and the pickups are 6-string Fluence instead of the 5-string Fluence on the first run of Dimensions.
I think with thick enough strings those low tunings would work well
Nothing paranormal here, just another good bass with fishmans
How's this compare to the Ibanez BTB605/805 multiscales? Very similar specs-wise (fishmans vs T1), but the Ibanezes are significantly cheaper.
We’ve got a video on the Ibanez coming soon
@@TheBassChannel Great, looking forward to it!
Can you do a review of RedSub Coliseum 5? There are almost no reviews of this bass and it seems to me a very interesting option.
They start talking about the bass at 2:28 *
If only these came in 6 strings
0:21 berlin: take my breath away, for those wondering
Yeah
These vs the HP ones?
I liked the HP better
PSA: Those considering getting one should read the thread on Talkbass that demonstrates a significant design issue leading to weak B string output. The 5-string Fishman's magnetic field does not properly cover the B string when tilted to make a multi-scale instrument here, despite what the pup casing may indicate. It is not clear whether/how Spector fixed this issue after it was reported to them, so consumer beware. I wish Spector properly addressed this in public, I dislike my Dingwall NG3 for reasons and really wanted to get one of these.
This has apparently been addressed after the first round of models shipped. I’m actually getting one with EMGs in it so it should be fine for me. What do you not like about your NG3?
@@theshillpill6937 Dingwall FD-3N pickups aren't great to begin with and the Darkglass preamp feels like a chore to dial in. The G string and to a smaller extent D are weak and sterile after hours of pickup height adjustments. I'm also finding that I'm not happy with 3 pickup configurations in general. That's a permanent ramp. I like my space between two pups and utilize that for dynamics often. I think a 2 pickup Combustion would have been a much better fit for me. I do eventually find a sound I like here after much tweaking, but whenever I pick up my Ibanez EHB or Schecter Riot they are immediately excellent, so why bother.
@@kanesmith4961 interesting, I think I’ll have to try one for myself someday. Maybe you should also look into the new Ibanez btb805 or btb605, much more cost effective 37”
@@kanesmith4961 I don't know how one prefers the Ibanez EHB over a Spector. I had one and could never get a sound I wanted out of it with three different pickup swabs, stock Bartolini, Aguilars and finally Nordstrand.
There isn't a design issue. It's literally two guys in Talkbass complaining about it. They probably don't know how to eq. I gig with mine and the B, which is tuned to A, has the same output as the other strings. It's actually very easy to test. I play my open E and compare it to my fretted E on the B string and they ring out at the same level.
I'm a 20-year-old black metalhead who subs to your channel because of the and... justice for all playthrough and I'm more of a metal drummer butt guess I'd be sticking around
Chris himself, our 'founding father', is originally a drummer too - the whole rhythm section is welcome!
@@davedixon2167 Ha! I just pictured myself drumming in a powdered wig. We hold these grooves to be self-evident
Hey brother, is there any way to know if the slant on these Spectors is less pronounced than the Dingwall Combustions? To the naked eye it seems like it doesn’t slant as much.
Thank you!
The frets fan out from the 9th fret on the Spector, but the 7th fret on Dingwalls. That’s a big reason for the difference - but the scale lengths are the same (34” on G to 37” on B).
idk why, but to me sounds a bit too muddy compared to other multiscale basses i've seen
It's the way they recorded it. I own that bass and it's not muddy. Trust me. Great tone
@@brandonowens3417 is it worth the hype this multiscale thing?
@@steffomca762 yes it really gives you more tone and more sustain than a standard bass. It also makes for a tighter more defined B and other notes as well. I can also tune it lower with out it getting muddy or sacrificing sustain. So yes believe the hype. I'm sure it's not just Spector either. I have played warwick multiscale, dingwall, and ibanez basses and they all have the same characteristics also. Spector and Dingwall can tune the lowest without problems because it's a 37 inch scale length. I did a ton of research before pulling the trigger on the Spector. To me it was fit and finish over Dingwall. Price was about the same. Hope this helps and if you get the NS Dimension I hope you love it as much as I do.
@@brandonowens3417Hey there, i was planning about buying a Spector Dimension indeed! They're great, but well, I'm not that much convinced by the Fishman pickups
no distortion it almost sounds as good as my gibson eb5.
Day 5 of me asking for a vid on the Ibanez iceman
Needs some Josh
Totally agreed!
what monster tones? maybe meant monster notes $?
These guys just suck ass at making properly good tones, believe me this shit is a CLEAR sounding bass
First
This or the Dingwall Ng3??? You thoughts
why the hell is the 3rd string so ugly placed on the head????
Playing top gun in the intro really?
It was a song before too gun wasn’t it? Is that not allowed? 😂
@@Therealchuckbailey na im happy about it don’t get me wrong I just find it amusing cause I rewatched the movie last night lmfao
Opinions on a different site?? Thumbs down
Wow those pups sound horrible... Ok aggressive low end but otherwise yuck!
It's not Spector. It's Korg. I'm not buying a Korg instrument ever and the only Spector of value will be the old Euros and American builds. If any of you would pay 2K for this monster, you deserve the outcome.
Look, the fun police. Stop having fun everyone.
well, you're wrong
Those pickups sound shit.
They sound good to me
Couldn’t agree more. The Fishman pickups utilize the same solderless connection as EMG, so it is simple and fairly cheap to make the bass sound like a Spector. Did it to my 4, wouldn’t hesitate if I had the 5. Gotoh Resolite tuners are a must as well.
@@Facu_Roldan They sound ok solo’d but get eaten up in a mix.
