Title: Spoiler Wanted !

I would like to procure a Spoiler. Yes, a 4 string Spoiler. Will consider any and all.
 
Thanks,
Don

This Spoiler was posted on eBay.
 
Good luck.

that is a decent looking bass... wonder if it would be hard to get the back cover ?

For what they may be worth, some comments:
 
The seller has zero feedback.
 
No hard shell case.  The seller will need to pack extra carefully; and the buyer will need to purchase a case.  The cost of a case should be considered when determining value.
 
That appears to be a very nice Birdseye Maple top, which would be an upgrade when considering value.
 
I would ask for some better pictures and better descriptions and pics of the bumps and scratches.
 
As far as the control cover, I believe that if you make an outline of the space, noting the screw holes, and send it to Alembic, they can make another cover for you.  You'll probably need the screws as well.
 
It's hard to tell from the pics, but the Birdseye Maple could make this an exceptionally nice Spoiler.

Th seller tells me that she is bed-ridden and really does not know if the bass works or not... The missing cc cover makes me suspicious... I'll pass on this one
 
Another popped up on debay today...
