This bass has a very useful sound character in every setup.
Great offering from Spector. Nice to finally see an NS2a back in the lineup.
I am a new player of three months. I am taking lessons and loving it! I have a new Squire 60's Vibe and it gets the job done so far, but I am already looking for an upgrade. This is one of the best demos of a bass that I have seen. Looking hard at the Lakland Skyline Series and the Ibanez sr2600, but this may be the new frontrunner. Incredible sound and incredible work of art! Thank you Sir!
I love reviews like this where the reviewer not only gives us a great overview of the instrument but can also play it like a Pro in every style.
Great comment Oil. I am a relative newbie and, given all my research, I think Ian just sold me this bass.
I've had the Ethos for about 4 weeks, love it, will be a staple in my playing and definitely what I'll be taking to gigs.
This bass is great! Love mine. Build quality fantastic. Worth every penny
OK, you destroyed me with this Alice In Chains intro :DD
Great review, beautiful bass! 👍
Excellent review. Sounds and looks like another killer instrument from Spector. You can do no wrong at the moment as everything you seem to produce not only looks visually stunning, but sounds just right to my ears. Basses to cover all bases!
Wow Ian, a great sound. Thanks for the very good information of the Bass. This can be my Bass # 12 !
Very nice! Interesting how you set the tone boosts
Love it...I have two Spector basses now but there's room for another for alt tuning👍😎👍
Cool finish!
stunning finish indeed.wowww...!
Please release this exact bass with an EMG electronics package or at least something with a more typical Spector sound. The finish. color, construction and neck are all perfect... among the best looking Spector has ever made. But it doesn't sound very much like the Spector I'm used to. As it stands I'd rather have the nearly inferior in every way NS pulse, but at the end of the day the pulse has the sound. The pulse already has a version 2, time to give the ethos a version 2 for those of us who want THAT sound.
Portrait Of Tracy sounds insane on that Spector with the chorus!
I want one of those!!
Beautiful bass. We need Ian to do a Portrait of Tracy lesson next.
Amazing! Is there a 5-string PJ version coming soon for this model?
Been wanting to get me a pj spector the spectors I got currently all have soapbars emgs and this might be the prospect tough call between this and the pulse for me though but that finish might win me over tbh. My only issue is at this price point why did it not get a battery box? I hate opening the control cavity on basses for battery changes. Specially in the korean made instruments as the screws in the control cavity are in the wood unlike the euros
Peter Hook Yamaha BB has the reversed P pickups…some other BB models too i think
I would’ve loved to hear more of the P sound, and most of all, playing hand over the P pickup instead of on the J pickup to learned what kind of warmth this bass have in stock
I just have one question, is the bass top heavy when hanging on the leather strap?
Oh maaaaan!!!!
Can anyone tell me what the neck profile is like...like an older NS2A super slim, or similar to a Euro Wimbish profile just a little chunkier?
Please.... can someone tell me what bass line Ian is playing from 7m 29sec?
😍
is there going to be new 2021 Euro LX ???
How about picking the strings with your hand on the neck pickups.
The finish of this bass looks a bit like ale of the warnings new 5 string spector bass. Very different instrument but a spector
The finish is called Interstellar. It’s inspired by our USA Series basses, like Alejandra’s!
@@OfficialSpector beautiful
Love watching Ale play. Her Spectors have always CUT THROUGH! @@OfficialSpector
Which country is this bass made in? Korea or Usa
name of the song 6:04 ? I love it
You've sold me. Spector makes amazing basses. I have an old '94 Euro, but I like the sounds of this Ethos better (though maybe that's because of you). A reverse P in a PJ setup works much better, IMO. I hate the sound of a standard PJ setup when slapped with both PUPs on but with a reverse P it works. (Especially when you have an on board active EQ to dial out any upper register honkiness you'd encounter in a normal PJ setup).
Where are these made?
These are made in our Korean factory, where we have been making instruments for about 30 years.
Does this mean the Eurobolt is going away? The Eurobolt just needs more finish options. Ian is a great player though- Brent
Nope, this model doesn’t replace EuroBolt. What finish options would you like to see?
If it's keeping the roasted maple neck. Copper burst or tiger eye fade? (Finishes used on the euro LT) maybe
@@OfficialSpector Yup keep the roasted neck. Translucent finishes, red, blue, black and please keep the sunburst! Its lovely. :)
@@OfficialSpector Trans Emerald would be eye catching!
@@OfficialSpector I think the Euro Bolt needs a slimmer/ thinner neck profile option( currently apx 1.67 at the nut), approximately1.5 would be more comfortable to reach while playing near the 1st 2nd fret on the E string. Is it possible to get one with the same neck profile as this NS Ethos or the Doug Wimbish model?
looks like it's the former legend series body.
now, this is a demo! not that 0-0-0-1-0-0-0 hyper distorted in to oblivion nonsense xD
Omg
1700 whether it's $ or € seems quite a lot of money for a Korean bass. What is going on with the prices, about 3-4 years ago I bought my first Spector Euro LX 5 (one of two, LX and LT) 5 for €1800. I would suspect that build quality for Korean bass is lower than Euro's?
Is it Korean? shiii
@@jatza07 yup
The euro is also 2800 compared to this being 1800 at this time. So what’s Your point?
So I’ve heard that among the Asian builders, Japan and Korea have the best rep for quality, with Indonesia and China following-so not sure that Korean = quality concerns.
I own one. Build quality is shockingly great. Have owned US instruments and some were crap. As for the price everything is up. Have you gone to a restaurant or bought groceries lately? Get this bass!
So it’s not modern sounding?
Shit. You can get a niiiiice m.i.a fender for 1800 man. I just don't think a Korean model is worth 1800.00 and it doesn't even fucking come with a hard case. No fucking waaaaaay
@@Ryzanu What you don't like $2600 Dingwall NG-3s made in China with their very own gig bag lol
Alice in chains
Seen some bad wiring on some of these. Unacceptable at that price point.
God why can't it just be multi-scale
Check out their Dimension series
@@danseidler9189 I hate their looks. If they just made a dimension 5 with these colors I'd buy one instantly, but brown and green are just ugly. I ended up deciding on an ibanez ehb 1505ms already anyways
The intro really doesn't sound good, with that palm-on-strings technique that's nice for an acoustic guitar, but sounds really grooveless on a bass.
