Damonjames Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I was a bit meh when I first saw this, but this colour is really growing on me 😂 absolutely stunning finish, and they are just such amazing basses, I love mine!! if I didn’t already have 2, I might be looking a little closer at this one!!! GLWTS! Edited February 9, 2018 by Damonjames 1
cd_david Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks, yeah it’s a beautiful finish, not one I would have initially gone for but it definitely looks amazing and draws nothing but compliments.
cd_david Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 EDIT: Ive just remembered this is NOT a Euro it is a NS4-CR. It’s Basically the same construction as the USA models with Solid Mapke Wings, the later Euro models have a Walnut sandwich between the front and back wings.
Damonjames Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Hmmm.... are you 100% on that David??? i thought the NS4-CR has the Stuart Spector Designs logo, rather than the Spector logo on yours. I have what I believe is referred to as a “non LX Euro”, which is the same as this with solid maple wings and neck through with the “Spector” logo. I am just not 100% on when the cutover from one to the other is. Sorry to be an anorak, my intentions are to help as it took me ages to find a non-LX Eur as they are harder to come by. They do sound different to the “walnut sandwich” LX, not night and day but they are different 😄 Edited February 9, 2018 by Damonjames
cetera Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Damon - see P15 here: http://www.spectorbass.com/uploads/resources/completehistory.pdf This bass is a pre-LX Euro, also known as a NS4CR (or NS4CRFM if flamed maple) Hope this helps chaps! 1 1
Damonjames Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks cetera, I know just enough to be dangerous. 😂 3
Damonjames Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) If anyone saw that last post, apologies, will teach me not to read things thoroughly. Sorry for the thread hijack!!! at least I know I have a NS4-CRFM 😂 Edited February 12, 2018 by Damonjames 2

The serial number / its placement would make it clear (either a transition era NS-4CR from '99/00 or a pre LX Euro4 from 01-03) But it's most probably gone as a result of the refinish... Either way, only a Spector nerd like me would be interested in this, for all the others the only thing to know is that it is a killer bass with huge sound and ergonomics second to none. 1
cd_david Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah the serial number went in the refin but I have pictures of the bass before and after withbthe serial number.
fendurt Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Are you willing to ship overseas to the Netherlands? 1
Damonjames Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 This really is an nice bass David, shame nobody thinks enough to take a punt on it. I have been playing my crfm a lot this week, and it is simply amazing. Someone needs to grab this!! 1
spectoremg Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 This has been catching my eye on eBay for several weeks now. It's a stunning finish. 1
Damonjames Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Isn’t it??? If I was in the market for another euro 4, I’d be quite interested in this! 1
spectoremg Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Tricky to gauge the exact colour in those pics - looks more amber where the sun catches it?

spectoremg Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 And the photos have been taken in lighting conditions that would allow for some ambiguity.
