I'd love to get a Euro bass with the Webster specs if only I could get a finish other than black without the splatter and regular inlays instead of red. I keep dreaming of a green Euro with an ebony fretboard.
I believe you can. I know people have definitely ordered Euro's with the Alex Webster neck profile so I know that is an option. I thought I heard you can order an ebony fretboard as well with the specs but I could be wrong.
Your best bet would be to e-mail PJ with the serial number and he will be able to tell you the year it was made. My Rebop's serial number is NB 1726 and I was told it was from 2001 and my Euro 5LX serial number is NB 9271 which is from 2010 so yours seems like it would probably be from around 2011 if I had to guess.
Ok yeah, maybe there's not "really" a space there, and it's actually 10018. The guy did say he bought it new about 5 mo's ago, so you're more than likely right!

Red stuff.
My only beef with the bass is aesthetic; they should make the inlays from a red-tinted mother of pearl, just like the logo on the headstock. The inlays have a plastic look to them; they look kinda cheap, when you take in the entire appearance of the bass. They may be acrylic; someone mentioned that the other day.
Whats the deal with inlays on the Brooklyn era Spectors? I've seen photos of some with dots and others with crown inlays.
Hahaha, now that is funny where you said "red stuff."
Hey, it could be worse. I read an interview with Alex where he said the first version of the bass had the inlays but they came out looking pink. Imagine a blood stained finish bass with pink inlays?
And my serial number is about 650 higher than yours and mine was bought new a month ago.

Honestly, when I look at them, "red stuff" is exactly what pops into my mind.
Look at a close-up of the Spector logo on the AW; it is HOT. Why they didn't do the same for the inlays is beyond me.

Can anyone tell from this photo what era bass this may be?
Is there a serial number or any writing on the back of the head stock? If not, you might want to check inside the control cavity and see if there is anything stamped or written in there.
My first instinct is to say that is a USA bridge but one of the experts will be able to answer that better than I can. It looks flat like the USA bridges are whereas the Euro bridges are more curved. Also, where the neck ends by the body looks curved like the USA models as well but without a serial number or stamp, it is tough to tell.
Can anyone tell from this photo what era bass this may be?
Yeah, by the bridge it looks to be maybe Brooklyn/Kramer era, possibly? What logo is on the headstock?

Ahh, you are the lucky person who scored that from ebay.
As John mentioned, if there is no ser# on back of the headstock, look under the trussrod cover and under the control cavity. The ser# should be written in those places.
Let us know the number we can give you an idea if it is a Kramer era or Brooklyn era NS-2. Then you can email PJ at Spector and he can give you the born date.
From what I understand, with the earlier Brooklyn era Spectors, the crown inlays were an added up charge. So you will see some with and some without.
