Title: Spoiler custom case
Post by: aquaman on November 03, 2006, 08:47:13 PM

Anyone looking to unload a Spoiler custom case?  Just got a great deal when I bought a ruby red 4 string '89 Spoiler for $850.  Mint, baby!  Need the case, though.

I have a Ken Smith Case which fits the Spoiler perfectly. I also have a JustinCase, but it's a bit too wide.  
That's sounds like a great deal indeed... $850...Wow! Congrats!

Congrats Rich..and welcome. I just bought a spoiler also and it should arive mid week.
Hey Flip.. short story..back in 86 I was picking up a 5 string Ric I ordered and there was a maple spoiler on the wall. Quite nice but I couldn't get it at the time. So recently I'm looking at your pics with spoilers, I see this maple spoiler, get a deal on it and I go..yeah Just like that FC guy!!Your the man!!..NLP

I love being a part of this Alembic Club.  Everyone is as excited as I am to own the best bass made.  You should see how people around here look at my Spoiler when I take it to gigs!
 
Pictures to follow.  How about a price on the Spoiler case?  Thanks.

Pics!
I've never seen a red Spoiler, have seen a red Elan (a 4 and a 5 string I believe)  
So you would make us very happy If you post a picture here.
Would also be a great addition to the Spoiler Showcase section:  
 
Cheers!
Flip (aka that FC guy)

Pics will follow within 24 hours.  (Wife has my camera at the moment).  Hope that the great finish and detail in the custom Ruby Red shade appears in the photos.  
 
Thanks for the compliments Joey, Flip, et al.

NLP,
 
Can't seem to find one for sale.  Suppose I will just have one made.  Thanks for the compliment.
