Which Spector to get??

I figured I change it to the solid brass bridge over the brass zinc mix. So the bass, is it a purple like in the picture or is it more blue in person?

The super bass is a Aria Pro II SB (super bass) Elite I. Made by Matsumoku. You ever play one?

RE: Spector Bridges,
I can't hear, tell or feel a difference.
I've toyed with the idea of getting a US for my Euro4 (I'll have to do a little dremmelling to make it fit) just because of the intonation screws.
A design change I actually thought of 20 years ago and thought I would never see.

Not up on Aria basses. Never played one.

well, then nevermind on the bridge. Big fan of Cliff Burton, that's why I got an Aria. I then realized all the tones I love is always Spector. The Aria will probably be a backup and collect dust, or for different tunings. I still want one for the collection anyways.

Well thanks for all the help dude, once my paypal account is active I'll have a new awesome bass on the way.

I believe the Early Spector Euros(NS4or5CRFM) all came with the solid brass bridge. I have a Spector NS4CRFM with dot inlays. It is, without question, one of the finest instruments I have ever played. I bought mine on CL for $600.00. That was last year. The dot inlays seem to be a lot less desireable than the crown inlays. From what I have seen, you are gonna pay $200.00 to $300.00 more for one with crown inlays, everything else being equal. Can not resist posting a pic. cause i just got it refinished. The bridge was black oxided and the saddles chromed.
