Spector Icon NC-4 Frank Bello Signature Bass Guitar - Tina Rose Metallic Purple
A collaborative effort between Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and Spector, the Icon NC-4 Frank Bello Signature is a bold reimagining of the classic bolt-on bass. Designed to meet the demands of a world-touring metal bassist, this instrument combines sleek looks, formidable tone, and effortless playability in one powerful package.
Built from a classic alder and maple tonewood combination, the NC-4 delivers resonance, balance, and punch. Its fast, slender maple neck and contoured heel make it comfortable across the entire fretboard, whether you’re grooving on low-end lines or tearing through aggressive riffs. Finished in a striking Tina Rose Metallic Purple, this signature model is as commanding visually as it is sonically.
The real star of the show is Frank’s signature EMG FB active P/J pickup set, delivering an expansive tonal range. The split-coil neck pickup pumps out warmth and girthy low end, while the single-coil bridge pickup adds tight mids and cutting highs. Part of EMG’s X Series, the FB Set provides massive headroom and noise-free performance — perfect for long cable runs and complex pedal setups. Paired with simple yet effective Volume/Volume/Tone controls, the NC-4 is versatile enough for any style, from aggressive metal grind to punchy funk and R&B.
