May not be an USA NS, but they sound really good boys!! Btw; the Darkglass pups are really good & give you a lot of versatility!! RB ‘23

You can take any bass you want/like & mold it these days!! Which is weird coming from me, but it's true. This body style for some might be their calling!? We all had to start somewhere before we could afford nice ones!!

Every time I would see the previous Dimensions with their fancy wood tops, I'd think, wish I could get it in black (or any other solid color). I might order one of the multi-scales without even playing it first.

You should compare this to the Ibanez BTB605MS/805MS, and Dingwalls! There are very few 37 inch multiscale basses on the market. Ibanez is in the USD 1000-1400 range, with in-house electronics that are lauded. Dingwall is Dingwall and now these Spector options with EMG and Tone Capsule are super cool though at the same price point as the Dingwalls. Also, I wonder why there are no affordable 37 inch multiscale options. There must be reasons for this, but I wonder what those are.

@gainlovingcriminal 4 ай бұрын

I do not think that Dingwalls are Dingwalls. I found the NG3 and combustion stuff pretty disappointing. It seems that everyone likes them because of Nolly and the gossip etc - but ever played an Afterburner or Z? Those are the real Dingwalls.

Glad to hear they addressed the issue with the angled pickups on the NS Dimension 5 not being spaced wide enough to produce an even output. Would be great to see another model of Fishman Fluence someday that can be applied this way that adjust for this, but I'm not going to complain about the EMGs. Also very nice to see some additional color varieties available.

What would be fun is the Ethos High performance vs a Spector performer that has been retro fitted with EMG pickups. My comment is because these are really expensive. For me. I understand this isn't bad for what they are but wow.

Eyes closed and unplugged, they’re basically the same bass. However, I prefer the EMG pickups to the Fishman pickups of the NS Dimension. Plus, these new colors are awesome. HP has my vote.

Are the 4 strings of the Ethos 34" or 35"? Im seeing 35" on the Spector website, but 34" on Sweetwater, do you know which it is? Thanks!

@zhiguli8 10 ай бұрын

I remember Sweetwater making a mistake on the scale of a Spector once before and I asked them about it. I think they corrected it shortly after that because the correct scale was stated on the Spector website. I'd be happy if the four string was 35", since I think their needs to be more four strings like that.

@wollace3125 10 ай бұрын

@@zhiguli8 Thanks for the response! Yes, I guess I am also one of the weird ones that prefers 35" 4 strings so I am really hoping Spector got it right and Sweetwater made a mistake. I sent both Spector and Sweetwater a question about this, so hopefully one responds soon.

What's the total length of the five string Dimension? I'm wondering if these fit in a generic flight case which are usually 120cm/47ish" long.

@TheBassChannel 9 ай бұрын

It fits in the regular Spector (and therefore any) gig bag so I don’t believe you should have an issue. I don’t have the exact measurement from headstock to strap pin but overall, it doesn’t look or feel any bigger/longer overall.

@erikpeterson778 9 ай бұрын

@@TheBassChannel Thanks! Yeah I think it looks a smidge longer but it may be an optical illusion.

@erikpeterson778 6 ай бұрын

Update: It fits absolutely flush with the generic Rock Case/Harley Benton flight case. It touches the foam on both sides and wont move forward or backward. On the sides the extra foam is needed due to the narrow body. Amazing bass too btw!

HP stands for no QC. The Dimension line especially has the worst QC. I bought a Dimension recently and learned first hand how much Spector does not actually care about this line. Badly cut nut, high frets, very high string action (cannot get any string below 3mm without significant buzzing), cheap bridge hardware, cheap tuners and a high price tag. Honestly, a $2k+ instrument should not ever have these issues. If you think you want one of these, check on the sellers' return policy first.

If there was a real playing test 9ther than one track heavy metal maybe I could say something, but nothing stood out. No tone, no clarity, no bass, just heavy metal. But they look nice
