Overview

A signature bass for a metal legend.

The Spector NC-4 Frank Bello electric bass guitar offers a seamless fusion of iconic design and modern engineering for high-performance metal players. Developed in collaboration with Anthrax bassist Frank Bello, this instrument features a bold metallic purple Tina Rose finish inspired by Frank's mother and grandmother. It's paired with a matching headstock and purple acrylic block inlays, giving this bass an instantly recognizable look that stands out on any stage. Crafted with an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, the NC-4 delivers a balanced tonal profile that blends warmth, clarity and brightness. Its slim neck profile is modeled after Frank's favorite vintage instruments, ensuring effortless playability. With its radiused top and contoured neck heel, this Frank Bello signature bass combines ergonomic comfort with striking aesthetics, making it the perfect instrument to inspire your best playing.

Signature EMG Pickups for Versatile Tone

The NC-4 bass is equipped with Frank Bello's signature EMG P/J pickup set, offering the dynamic tonal range and clarity that's essential for heavy, in-your-face bass lines. The P-style pickup delivers punchy lows and smooth mids, while the J-style pickup provides articulation and brightness. With a simple control layout featuring two volume knobs and a master tone knob, players can effortlessly blend pickups to shape their own signature sound. This streamlined design ensures quick tonal adjustments during live performances, allowing the bass to cut through the mix with precision and power.

Comfortable Neck Profile for Effortless Playability

The NC-4 features a slim, vintage-inspired neck profile designed for maximum comfort during extended playing sessions. The one-piece maple neck provides durability and stability, while the maple fingerboard offers a smooth surface for fast fretting. A contoured neck heel enhances access to higher frets, making this bass ideal for intricate runs and solos. Whether laying down a groove or powering through high-energy riffs, the NC-4's neck design ensures fluid playability without compromising tone or control.

Alder and Maple: Timeless Tonewoods for Balanced Sound

Constructed with an alder body and a maple neck, this bass combines two timeless tonewoods known for their musicality and durability. Alder offers a balanced tonal foundation with tight lows and clear highs, while maple enhances brightness and sustain. The radiused top not only adds to the bass's aesthetic appeal but also improves ergonomic comfort during performances. Finished with chrome hardware and a fully adjustable bridge, this instrument is built to withstand the demands of live gigs and studio sessions alike.
