Spector NS-2 white

The Spector NS-2 is an electric solid body 4-string bass, with carbon fibre reinforcement. It was designed by Ned Steinberger, best known for the Steinberger L2 headless bass. Sting had a white one, which is considered one of his most trendy-looking basses.

Gear history
Sting had been handed the Spector NS-2 white bass during a soundcheck ahead of a show at St. Louis on 24 July 1983. He proceeded to play the bass at the show, and hadn't paid for it until just after the show: according to Stuart Spector, Sting pointed to Dan [Martin, Spector dealer] and said "write the man a [cheque]". Presumably that show was essentially Sting trying out the new bass, that he ended up buying it after the show. He played it for the rest of the Synchronicity tour, during virtually every show.

The bass is currently on display at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
