In late 1985, the bass in
this photo was being
finished and prepped to
be sent to its new owner. 

Guess who that
new owner was?
 


ABOUT THE IAN HILL SIGNATURE MODEL™
Ian Hill's USA NS-2™ was completed and delivered in late 1985 from the Kramer factory in Neptune, NJ.  The neck on this now legendary vintage SPECTOR® is thinner than the average NS-2™.  And the average USA NS-2™ is thinner than the average Euro4LX™.  Careful measurements were made of Ian's 1985 NS-2™ and each Ian Hill Signature Model™ will have matching dimensions.
