Title: (and another!) Early Spoiler on th' 'bay...
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 06, 2015, 08:27:25 AM

Sad what someone did to this bass. Looks like it at least still has it's original pickups, but the rest of it is a mess. Prime candidate for a restoration if it could be got on the cheap.

Sold for $1009 + shipping... maybe someone will restore it at that price.  
 
I'm not really shopping for a fixer-upper, just habitually watching for them on the net. It's interesting how many of these 1982 Spoilers  (with decal) keep appearing. There's known to be only a handful, yet this is the 5th or 6th in the last few months.
