Spector bass ID please

[Play that Fish]

Hi,
So I just got this FREE bass from a coworker and it's really nice. How lucky am I?

Info- is over 12 years old. Only identifying marks seem to be 4 numbers stamped into the back of the headstock that are filled with paint and almost impossible to see. I used many methods to try and identify the numbers. They look like 1080 or 1086.

I'm thinking it's a high end Euro model?

Any tips about this bass would be appreciated!

Your thoughts please and thanks!

Any more pics?

To my untrained Spector eye it looks like a Euro 4 with the Mighty Mite Haz clone preamp.

US made based on the bridge. Brooklyn or Kramer era is my guess. Check under the truss rod cover. They might have the serial number there also.

Either way, looks like a great score!

Could be a late Brooklyn. My Kramer era #1224 had no numbers anywhere else but the stamped in s/n on the headstock. It was illegible until I unearthed it by sanding and polishing until I could read it. I did this purely for insurance and identification purposes in case it got lost or stolen. I've owned this bass for over 28 years.

Confirmed. It’s a Brooklyn era.

The bridge placement on the body is closer to the bottom of the body.

Asking "value" questions requires a supporting membership because of the ease of using it as a way to surreptitiously post an item as for sale. You can use the "Support Talkbass" link at the bottom to do so.

You got any more of those give-a-bass-for-free friends?

My bass looks exactly like yours! Except yours is shinier than mine lol. I'm trying to figure out what year it might be.

Great and thanks. Any idea on the year?

You have a REALLY nice coworker. You should never sell that bass (at least that's been what I have done when a bass has been given to me, never sell them). Congrats!

 

[Reedt2000]

Yes, that's quite a nice and valuable instrument. A quick search should reveal how valuable... or you could support TB and we'll tell you

But that's quite a gift, enjoy it!

It is a complete piece of crap. If you send it to me, I'll be happy to dispose of it for you so you don't have to deal with it. PM and I'll give you my address, I'll even pay for shipping.

Thanks LimaGuy! If you had the time, I'd love to know how you figured that out!
