Post by: captbulldog on April 22, 2005, 07:52:20 PM

Okay...I got the black Spoiler off e-bay (the might-be Prince bass) Its very used,lottsa chips in the finish...neck is cool...no logo..think the neck pickup is dead..BUT...Im in love!!!I have not owned a Alembic in about 7 years.When iset the bass up and got everything to my specs(picky bastard that I am)...its pure love!! I have a gig tommorow night....and even tho it just has the back pick-up..I guess it will be Jaco night..lottsa mids...yum,yum,yum.Peace to all of you...and big hugs and kisses to Susan, Mica and family.Yeeee Hawwww

The bass might have been customized for stereo output. that would route the neck and bridge pickups separately. I have a '73 Guild Starfire I ordered with that mod. If you have a stereo Y-cord try using the stereo plug in the bass.
