NS-5XL – Myrtle
Burl & Maple – Woodstock Custom Collection
Justin’s NS-5XL
takes inspiration from long-time Spector player Dan Briggs’ signature
instrument, but with some unique and impressive specifications. This NS-5XL is
crafted with a figured maple body and a gorgeously figured black myrtle burl
top, a three-piece maple neck, ziricote fingerboard and a 35” scale length. For
electronics, this bass is equipped with passive EMG HZ pickups paired with
Spector’s legendary HAZ 9V preamp. This instrument features a natural high
gloss finish, ziricote headstock veneer with black myrtle burl truss rod cover,
and black hardware.
“My hope with
this build was to pay respect to an under-represented genre in modern heavy
metal. Borrowing from the specs of Spector artist Dan Briggs, bassist of
Between the Buried and Me, and using busy, high character woods like ziricote
and myrtle, we aimed to capture both the look and sound of the genre in
Spector’s classic NS design.” - Justin Smith
