It looks like it has a Legend Classic bridge, but has the Euro black inlays like the ReBop MM. I wonder where this will fit in...and whether it will come in LPB or not. :D This is also the first bass I've seen in awhile that doesn't have a figured top!

It also just says Spector on the headstock which would actually make it a bass manufactured in Korea...right?

Hey, Ken R! Very nice NS4CRFM! Congrats, mine is about the same vintage, with a white finish.

Thats an extremely early (#40, 2001) Euro4.
This was the immediate series after the NSCRFM's and led up to the LX's in 2004. Not an LX and nothing transitional.
IMHO, these are the best of the Czech Spectors. The hidden gems of the Czech lines.
This still has the solid maple wings and total brass bridge.
One this early would have had an Aguilar OBP-1 pre, so the EMG stuff is after market.

Although $1200 isn't terrible and used Spector prices seem to be rising a bit, I've regularly found these between $800 and $1000.
Actually had a 5 string on my local CL for $600 that even sat for a while about a year ago.

I bought my NS4CRFM towards the end of 2002, but I believe it was on the wall at the music store for quite some time, it came stock with an EMG BTS eq system. It's a great sounding bass and super playable. I didn't know the bridge was solid brass! Very good info.

We need to plan a date that we can all roll into Tulsa for the Spector party at the Guitar House, we can turn it into a annual event kind of like the NAMM show and bring all of our basses plus check out all the cool stuff we can take home with us! lol

Nope...chrome tuners are tell tale of USA built. Korean Coda Pro have black tuners.

The matte ones are brass.
The polished ones are "Zinc/Brass alloy".
I'm assuming that it means it has a higher ratio of zinc, as brass is already an alloy containing zinc.

JPS was supposed to get clarification on this when I brought it up a couple years ago, but now........

Anyone speak to Todd about this. We could get a group rate at a local motel.
