I took these measurements with a digital caliper set while taking photos of these instruments. These measurements were made without strings (obviously) in the center of each fret (thickness).

I've provided both current Eur4LX-Classic and USA NS-4H2 measurements.

And for comparison to the USA Neck-Thru I've added the measurements on the smallest USA Neck I've measured to date... my NS-4 Water Cured Redwood model. It has been thinner than every NS-2 I've ever measured.

It's notable that the Euro4LX models I've measured are actually a hair thinner at the 12th fret and the only reason the first fret is thicker is because of the hump of the neck at the headstock, which is a different profile from the USA.

The skinniest, thinest neck I've ever measured on a non-Wimbish/non-Ian Hill model is my Kramer Era NS-2A.

Provided in both mm and inches. This information will be available on the site for all models shortly.

Nice info JP! I really like your chart!
 
Yesterday I waited like a kid waiting for Christmas to call the GC store in Ft. Collins, Co. to buy a gorgeous NS-2A sunburst $272.00. They being 2 hrs behind us in Mi. I had to wait till noon EST. In the past I've tried calling before stores open but always had to wait for a salesman and had to call back. So @ noon I called and the salesman told me it just went out the door to a guy that called before they opened up and a salesman just happened to be in early! Arg!!!! I even had the idea @9 am to fill out one of GCs online purchase forms with hopes of being one step ahead! Nope! From now on...I'll call early!! /: oh well...Its not the last NS-2A in the world for sale...I've my eye on another...bright cherry red! Wish me good luck!
 
My NS-2JA-R, the '83 reissue, just arrived Friday. Very very happy with it thus far. Resonant, great sustain, perfect electronics, wonderful tone, fantastic build quality and player feel. Fulfills in every respect the dream I've had of playing one -- since I was 14, no less, more decades ago than I'd care to mention. It joins my Stick Enterprises SB8 and my BTB510.
 
How does the neck of a Rebop 5DLX compare to a Euro 5LX?

Im considering the one that's 7th from the top.
Almost ready to pull the trigger actually...

I haven't had any ReBops to measure as of yet. I will be able to catch these at NAMM. There are a few models I'm missing. Mainly the NS-6XL, Euro6LX, ReBop Models, Legend4 &5. I've been able to measure everything else.

Congrats! You sound as stoked as I am right now...just got off the phone with GC from purchasing a 80's NS-2A sunburst! Said it's a 9 out of 10 condition. I'll be out of my skin waiting to play it this week!! :D

Congrats! I also have an NS-2JA-R. Love it. Great bass... and a great value for a fully-carved NS-Body Spector with active EMGs and active EMG tone circuit.

It's a great bass. You're going to enjoy it.

It looks better cropped but I quite dig this photo with the light just hitting the Spector logo on the headstock. Sorry JP, forgot to bring my face to a gig again, it happens way too often. ;)

P.S.

Found an error, this one being a Not Found one for the link to see pictures of the original Rex Brown signature model and it's flame paintjob.
 
I've been rather absent from the forums for a while.


I am trying to buy the Spector Left Chest Logo shirt from the site. It says Free shipping 26-27-28. It keeps telling me the coupon for free shipping is invalid.

It's an item on my Christmas list and my mother is getting enraged at the shipping. ;)

Tell your Mom to contact Jo Ann at Spector tomorrow and I'm sure she will take care of it. Here is her number: 1 (845) 246-1385. Just tell her the problem you were having. She is great to deal with!
