Title: Hardshell Case for 1990's Lefty spoiler
Post by: pauld on November 02, 2019, 01:45:29 PM

Hi,

New member and Alembic owner, I am thrilled with my "new" 1992 left handed Alembic Spoiler.  That said, I need a hardshell case badly as the gig bag it came with is now disintegrating.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Regards

Welcome and congratulations on your new bass!

I've ordered G&G cases for Alembics through Will Gunn and they ship it directly to you.

Another plug for Will Gunn. Just ordered a new hardshell case through WGG recently and had it in short order.  8)

Congratulations & Compliments on your new-to-you Spoiler! ;)

Update: I hooked the bass up with a Yamaha EB-HC Hardshell case.  It is the only hardshell case I found that carries a 14" lower bout and it seems well made, but time will tell. BTW Will Gunn was very helpful, did the due diligence and came up with some recommendations including the traditional trip to Guitar Center. It was an honest assessment of my situation and I totally appreciate his time.

Here's a couple of pics...

Welcome my lefty brother, that is a beautiful bass!  Stunning wood (flamed Koa?) and I like the P / J pickups on the Spoiler.  Alembic is very kind to us 'sinister' players, for which we are most grateful.  The case for my Distillate has a lot of miles and broken latches, I should replace it some day but since it does not travel anymore, no rush I guess. Enjoy and play in good health.
