[email protected] Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hoping to get this bass, but the lack of battery plate on the back makes me think it is wrongly advertised... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Looks totally legit to me. The separate battery compartment's a newer thing, the older ones have the battery inside the control cavity. Imagine they changed it because it's more of a PITA to unscrew the control plate each time. Edited July 17, 2021 by bakerster135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, the serial number gives it away as a 2008 model. From the Spector website: 2001 – 2010 If there are four digits after the NB, you would add (1) to the first digit to determine the year. Examples: NB 0212 = 2001 NB 2517 = 2003 NB 9914 = 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Totally legit 5LX and a pretty one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yep, I have a NS-5 CRFM that's just like that (but in blue), with no battery compartment. Probably an early 2000s model, I think they introduced the separate battery compartment about 10 years back. If it's a price you're willing to pay, go for it. They're very nice basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 If it is has maple wings WITHOUT a line of walnut through the middle (look on the sides/edges of the bass body) then it is a Euro 5. If it has a line of walnut then it is a Euro 5LX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
