Fianso Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think It's an Euro LX model not an NS4... imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassulike66 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 [quote name='Fianso' timestamp='1380473363' post='2225810'] I think It's an Euro LX model not an NS4... imo [/quote] My understanding is that the CRFM had full maple wings (which this has) and the Euro had Alder,walnut and maple body make up?! Im not sure of the year of this one but it may have been right on the edge of the switch over to the Euro which i think may of been 2004. Then again i could be totally wrong and made a public idiot of myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fianso Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 U're probably true... i didn't seen it was full maple wings ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Is this the one you bought from me? If so, it has an EMG BT circuit in it rather than the Tonepump.... Wish I could afford to buy it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulhauser Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 This is an early Euro 4 (without the LX) CRFM had dot inlays, not the crown inlays. Euro differs from Euro LX that the latter has an alder/walnut/maple sandwich for wings whereas the EURO has maple wings. (the Euro differs from the CR mainly in the inlays for the 4 strings, for 5 strings, the CR had 34" scale, the Euro 35") Might be worth checking the OBP as these were to a certain number supplied with Aguilar OBP. This is a very good bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [color=#0000ff]Well, you learn something new every day, you are in fact 100% correct sir![/color] [color=#0000ff]Please read below...[/color] [b]1993 - early 1999 NS-4CR, NS-5CR model numbers. "SSD" Stuart Spector Design name and logo. Dot fingerboard markers. Most had EMG BT active tone controls. Serial numbers are just 4 digits. Mid 1999 'transition'. Continued NS-4CR, NS-5CR model numbers. Restart original "SS" Spector name and logo. Addition of mother of pearl crown inlays and 35" scale on 5 strings. Serial numbers are still 4 digits. 2001 Addition of the Aguilar OBP-1 circuit (at the end of the year). Serial numbers are started over and have "NB" in front (NBxxxx). Start model NAMES Euro4/5. 2001, or 2002...sometime early this decade. Bridge changed to shiny polished gold. At that time bridge material changed to zinc brass alloy, from solid brass. 2002 Beginning incorporation of the Spector TonePump circuit. 2004 Start of EuroLX models (alder back, walnut slice, maple top).[/b] [color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I'm guessing that's a NS4CRFM because the serial # is usually on the headstock if it's a Euro. It probably is stamped in the wood in the cavity on that one. Either way, if it starts with an NB it's a Euro. If it is just 4 digits it's a NSCR. It's got solid wings (Maple) so it's definetally not an LX.[/font][/color] [color=#0000ff][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]My serial number states NB 2042[/font][/color] [color=#0000ff]I originally purchased the bass some 4/5 years ago. OBP was the non adjustable Tonepump.[/color] [font=verdana, geneva, lucida,][color=#0000ff]Many thanks for your input.
