![]() Around the front, the fretboard on the LT models is ebony, and that dark wood contrasts against the Spector crown inlays, further enhancing the overall look. Again, the attractive grain is visible through the translucent finish. The slim neck of the Euro4 LT is a 3-piece laminate construction of maple. As I only have just the one bass here, I can’t compare multiple models, but online, I am finding suggestion of around 4kg each, which is more than adequate for us with bad backs! The lightweight tuners installed and the small headstock help considerably in that this instrument does not neck dive, at all! Whilst reading the current specifications from the Spector website, we are told that the LT models feature a weight-relieved construction. Well, the specifications confirm that the nut in these basses is in fact 41.6 mm (which for my US readers is 1.64”) – very deceiving, as if it feels slimmer than it actually is! In my video, I can’t help but enthuse over the neck profile and how easy it is to navigate, so much so that I thought the nut width of the neck was that of Jazz Bass dimensions. The body itself is two wings of European alder sandwiching the neck-through construction. The glassy finish, as you can see, really makes the grain of the North American maple top pop out, all framed attractively with a slice of walnut underneath that creates a contrasting pin-stripe around the body edge. These instruments are available in four special translucent gloss fade finishes: Blue, Red and Violet, which are stunning, along with the Tiger Eye example we have in for review here, today. ![]() In this review, we are looking at the Euro4 LT model, a range of basses made to a very high standard in the Czech Republic. That would include even the more budget-friendly examples, up to the US custom models available from their Woodstock, New York workshop. Founded in 1976, Spector has long established themselves in the world of bass as one of the very leading names of high quality instruments.
