Title: [SOLD] - Primo Custom Spoiler / Black Finish / Signature Electronics
Post by: bob_g on October 23, 2022, 01:00:12 PM
I need to sell a recent (2019) mint-condition medium-scale custom Alembic Spoiler.

Features:
* "Lightest weight" mahogany body
* Solid gloss black finish
* 3-piece mahogany neck with purpleheart stringers
* 24-fret ebony fingerboard with oval MOP inlays
* Black Alembic-branded Gotoh tuners
* Two AXY pickups
* Adjustable brass nut
* Ruthenium-plated nut, truss rod cover, bridge and tailpiece
* Upgraded with Signature electronics (volume, pan, 2 x filter, 2 x Q-switch)
* Autographed by Ron Wickersham on the underside of the truss rod cover
* One of only very few black Spoilers in existence NEVER to have been played by Jason Newsted!

Specifications:
* Serial no: C14701
* Scale length: 32" (813mm)
* Number of frets: 24
* Nut width: 1.53" (39mm)
* Width at 24th fret: 2.32" (59mm)
* String spacing: 0.72" (18.5mm)
* Weight: 9.56 lbs

As indicated above, the bass is in absolutely mint condition, and comes with the original as-new G&G fitted hard case, Alembic build sheet, and all original case candy.  My asking price is $5,000 plus shipping, which is less than I paid, but ALL reasonable offers will be considered, as the instrument MUST be sold.  The payment method, shipping method, and shipping cost are all very negotiable.  I'm particularly hoping that this instrument will be of interest to someone in the Alembic community.  All requests for additional information and/or photos are welcome.

Well, the price is apparently not good enough, so I'm dropping my asking price to $4,500/OBO, and I hope that's more enticing.

First,
I have no affiliation with this listing.


Second,
Someone should buy this one! And fast... This is a spectacular bass and incredibly fun to play.

This bass is ridiculously priced below market given the prices I have seen 30+ year old Spoilers going for. For a bass that's only 3-years of age at this price I am at a loss at to why it hasn't sold. J.N. where are you?

If you thought the price was ridiculous before...I'm now asking $4,200/OBO (plus shipping), as the bass must be sold.  So J.N., join the party!

On the other hand, the price isn't ridiculous as long as it hasn't sold, amirite?

Yes, I disabled my Reverb account last year. Was just showing old listing to give more info and photos.
That is a special bass. Loved the mahogany neck.
