Title: 87 Spoiler 6 w/inlay any interest?
Post by: dannobasso on January 17, 2023, 08:09:54 PM
My friend of 40 years passed last week. He always said if I died first he wanted this bass that he helped me order from Alembic. I'm thinking of passing it on.

I would love to be the caretaker of that amazing instrument, but unfortunately I am not in the market right now. Hope you find a new loving home for it!

Absolutely beautiful bass Dan. I wish the string spacing was wider.

Oh dear, this is lovely. What is price? And the scale? Most likely it will be too expensive for me, but must ask.


Cheers,
Topi

As there is no interest here , I'm inquiring of Mica to send it back to the Mothership for a refinish and led's if possible.
I couldn't afford them at the time and I have grown accustomed to them. In red. On 2 of my acquisitions, they have some blue with violet and with blue and amber. I find red suits me best.

Spoke with the ever helpful Mica. There is a possibility that the fingerboard may not survive the led conversion. That said ,I will not be doing the conversion. I may send it back for a refinish. Still debating it in my mind.. a shame as I really love onside leds in red. Chest la vie!

Hi Dannobasso,

I'm currently the caretaker of your six string walnut Spoiler :) got it from Otis some time ago. Did some work on it last week actually - fingerboard planning and the frets are brand new now, it plays perfectly and is well loved :) Always had a spot for your instruments, for me - these are perfect from top to bottom - from string spacing to overall taste and style. I'm really quite surprised that you decided to sell this one.

Is this bass still available for sale?

With regards,
Dawid

Dawid!  So glad to hear that you're happy with that bass- it's a great one, that's for sure.  I hope you're able to get the other one from Danno, that would be awesome!
All the best, My friend!

Frank,

I do think so too! That would be incredible indeed. And to think I only visited this forum due to a weird precognition, just like the time I got the walnut one... That's uncanny, any way you put it! And I do wish you all the best too :) how is that amazing Series six string of yours doing?

Dannobasso,

I sent you a message :)

With regards,
Dawid
