[@OfficialSpector]

Incredible playing as always Nate!

[@mikaso]

I can never unsee the anti-parallel arrangement of the bridge/fretboard edge/pickups though.

[@JohnBradydoesstuff]

Nothing plays, sounds, or looks like a Specter. Absolutely love these instruments.

[@zulu5157]

...Warwick?

[@JohnBradydoesstuff]

@@zulu5157 Warwick is definitely my second favorite.

[@frederickdoyon]

​@@Dylanjames3679lol calm down it's subjective. Also, without Spector, Warwick wouldn't exist. They literally started as Spector copies. Furthermore the mec electronic is also modeled after EMG. I own both and they are awesome instruments although my Spector is MUCH more stable and solid.

[@vladimirtraining]

It's perfectly acceptable to borrow from previous electric basses. Warwick have used the best of the past to refine it for the future. I wouldn't be surprised if the Warwick Thumb was inspired by the Yamaha SB-5A Samurai BASS. As musicians learn from those before them and not all but some modern bass players are very good indeed.@@frederickdoyon

[@silkyb9869]

@frederickdoyon I have both...Spectors are fatter/ ballsier. I like my Warwick for live more and Spector for studio

[@JaySellers]

So, Nate....now that the govment has confirmed aliens have made their way to earth, will you finally tell us what planet you're from? Awesome demo, as usual!

[@D20band]

Spector…hands down the best basses you can get! My go to for everything!

[@chrissgardiner]

Well that bit at 0:12 got me hooked right into the video. Amazing video, Nate.

[@zekt976]

Really need a video comparing the NS Dimension with the Dimension HP!

[@t.j.meechan682]

That B string sounds incredible.

[@TheMemo659]

Mind blown by the lit top dots. Have a bass where those dots are essentially invisible on a stage. This solves that problem on a level I never considered possible. 😆

[@justsomerandomguyman]

The new Purple NS Dimension HP looks sick. Want.

[@fnargler]

Not gonna lie, I think the Fishman pickups and fluence EQ in the dimensions NS 5 fits it better than the EMGs and darkglass. Both are great though.

[@abouc]

Ooooh, plum crazy looks nice!

[@descendinguniverse666]

man I wish Submission Audio hired you to do bass stuff for their Kontakt libraries Insane sound and beautiful look

[@NateNavarro]

Thanks, man! :)

[@liamtahaney713]

Hate to say it but Ive heard better low b's on 34 inch basses. Wonder if its a setup issue. 4 string sounds great though

[@soopahsoopah]

Can your next book be about your double thumb technique?

[@iLikeD1rt]

Yes. It's unbelievable clean sounding

[@NateNavarro]

I cover Double Thumb in my latest book! Here's a sample of the lesson: kzbin.infoD-0PeWoWm48 Find my books here: www.natenavarro.net/books

[@SoundmanCH]

Man, your playing technique and sense for groove are otherworldly, and I am always blown away by your versatility and innovative ideas. Amazing!

[@pdornai]

I just come here for Nate's sweet riffs

[@lrglucas97]

I almost heard Ancient Covenant by The Faceless intro on the bass

[@jdubbs9655]

I am partial to the white Dimension model. Bring us more on this! Thanks for the share Nate. Keep Doing That VoodooThat You Do!

[@LMaia14]

As soon as I saw Spector had released new basses I opened your channel hoping you would do a video on them.

[@bobbywhiskey]

Dude your awesome on bass ...what about being. Radio host ??? Golden voice

[@TheSmooshster]

The only downside to these basses is sanding off the paint for a natural wood finish

[@andrewaavik]

I'm so stuck between a Spector NS and a Warwick Streamer. They both have their own distinct sound. If I had the budget to afford them both it wouldn't be an issue. But, unfortunately, I'm not rich!

[@3tlfv9qjz2wjskv9n4ak]

I have the four string version. Is it normal for the bridge pickup to be WAY quieter? When I pan to the bridge, it has tons of output, almost too much. In the middle position, the bass is quieter with not much bridge tone. When i pan to the bridge, its even quieter, and i have to turn up the amp. I adjusted pickup height which made little difference.

[@Tomijee]

Why my feed is being flooded by Spector basses?? Huge GAS going on now, ty.

[@red-strard]

めっちゃ上手いな笑…紹介してるベースも超かっこいい❤

[@Bob-q5s]

Dude that ultra fast slap is messing up my mind. HTF???

[@Progbassist]

I would buy that new Multiscale model in a heartbeat if it was 34-36 scale, then the Daddario super long strings would fit it. Its pain in the ass to order strings for 37 scale basses, I own a Dingwall and always have to order them from either US or UK. 🤔

[@germarhoffmeister2752]

Still in love with my 1987 NS2.

[@the_bassiah]

Damn he didn't hold back at all in that intro!

[@Jortdf534]

I bought a HP 4 mulitscale and ended up returning it. Fret buzz galore! It was basically unplayable. I adjusted the bridge and truss rod to no avail. I really wanted to like the bass, the pickups and preamp sound great, but the fret buzz really drove me over the edge. A fret level and redress might've fixed the issue, but I will not spend $2k on a brand new bass that isn't playable out of the box. Hope you had a better experience. I actually purchased two different ones and they both had the same problem. I think KORG's takeover of Spector a few years ago has something to do with their drop in quality control.

[@user-vw7um9vv5p]

Soo love Nate’s playing!! That prog in the introduction sounds like a transformer robot having a stroke. Brilliance

[@abowla7187]

Let me say this again: Emg's are superior to Fishman, especially on bass. Also, as always, Nate your playing is out of this world......

[@57precision]

The sterile Fishmans were really holding the NS Ethos back. Glad they fixed it.

[@ebertmahon8939]

Hi Nate, just found your great channel. How does Music Man basses stack up against Spectors? Great demonstration and I am going to check out your new five-sting bass book. Peace.

[@TheAnderon666]

I dont like that B.

[@abadakus1]

Nice! Can't wait to see a multiscale Euro.

[@NateNavarro]

You and me both!

[@ZynthWave]

I know I’m like 10 years to late but does anyone know where I can get a source audio hot hand?

[@xx2]

Anyone does have Dimension 5 MS ? Is there any neck dive ? And hows the weight and the balance on these ?

[@vonnie7713]

No neck dive. It’s an amazing instrument. Have the OG 5 string dimensions in haunted moss

[@TacticalHyena]

dear god spector make a natural wood 6 string multi scale 37-33.25 with a maple neck

[@walt1a]

Ok, it's time to add to my Spector collection...🤣🤣🤣

[@erikpeterson778]

What's the total length of the 5 string? Wondering what size a flight case needs to be for these bad boys.

[@89mmurzanski]

Spector killing it per usual 🤘

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo as always, Nate. 😎🤘🏻🎸 between these 2 Spector basses, I like the 5-string version the most. It’s got a killer punchy tone that excellent for metal

[@magisterprimus7611]

Whatever instrument you give to Nate will sound like a stradivari.

[@skeptic_individual]

Bass collection video pls

[@AlexRVX8]

Did bro just hit us with a mr bungle type riff on the intro?

[@rmp5s]

Killer little intro thing, dude!!

[@Salarela]

Listening from São Paulo _ Brazil

[@silkyb9869]

That double thumb just killed me...I'm dead

[@silkyb9869]

Cryptopsy None So Vile ass evolution

[@j.juarez9526]

It sounds to me that Spector gave up their signature tone for the Darkglass mid-scoop sound. I prefer the Dimension with the Fishman pickups. They recaptured the original Spector tone in a 5 string bass. Great video, Nate.

[@seppoinnanen5577]

Yeah, nothing beats Emg pickups with Spector's own Tonepump.

[@sxsguyzach]

Is it just me or does the Ethos sound super compressed and the Dimension's low string sound like garbage?

[@trfmusic902]

It does

[@abowla7187]

It's just you.

[@RebieRebs]

I do not like the sound either.

[@jakeadams0412]

Exactly what I thought abt the B string

[@Kraz3e987]

It doesn’t sound like that on Ian Martin Allison’s video of these basses, Nate’s probably had the set up from straight out of the box and maybe wasn’t all that great.

[@christosfragias592]

Nate, you truly slayed those basses. Great review! 🤘🎸🎸🤘

[@MaximosVideoPalace]

And for how long have you been playing bass?

[@AlexandarShmex]

If you'd use his skill to approximate it, as soon as he left the womb!

[@NateNavarro]

I started playing in 2005. :)

[@MaximosVideoPalace]

Okay that makes sense😅

[@jamestom2510]

Hmmm makes me want to get the standard in a 5 string !!

[@user-cs3wu4pn3n]

4:40

[@avital2166]

Brass 🥜 & your playing 👌👌👌

[@KOCMOKOT800]

Spector is iconic. Just top.

[@sunman108]

Nate Navarro, you are very cool!

[@markbass354]

this bass is killer beans

[@jaroslawlukaszewicz]

That's well played man.

[@1234drums]

Sounds cool ❤❤❤❤

[@ryn5671]

Welcome back Nate

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👍👌👌

[@johngallant3321]

Nate, I am sure the basses they send you are probably great. But, the QC on the Dimension line for the rest of us, in my recent experience, is quite bad. Badly carved nut, cheap bridge hardware, cheap tuners, high frets all over the neck and why would it have all black hardware and 1 silver switch? To everyone out there thinking about this bass, ymmv. But definitely check on the shop return policy before you buy one of these. For a $2k+ bass, this is just not cool and is certainly not up to what the Spector name would typically imply.

[@johannesalcade1391]

Really love the Spector sound on slap difficult to explain why may be the tchong tchong nasal sound ...i told it's difficult to describe a sound🤣

[@jonsidell3338]

I think it is the bridge pickup location that gives the Spector slap tone it’s springy slap sound. I love it too, it is intoxicating.

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

How I have 2 of my older spectors set up but with emg x series pups with the over the counter tone capsule the high mid is centered at 3.5khz vs the 2.8khz found in these the euro lt and the dingwall basses with the tone capsule a
