Title: Distillate with a slight finish touch up
Post by: honkylips on August 09, 2024, 09:28:08 AM

I’d like to see the “before” photo before deciding how I feel about this, but it’s certainly unusual: https://lowendbassshop.com/product/alembic-distillate-4-string-koa/ (https://lowendbassshop.com/product/alembic-distillate-4-string-koa/)

Also it's a Spoiler. Looks like the output jack got ripped out before as well. Can't say I'm a fan of the stylistic choice.

I thought this was Spoiler not a Distillate, thanks for confirming Mica! IMO... finish looks pretty awful and the price is too high for a Spoiler.

That ought to be against the law. Now, not only do we need to control guns to keep things safe but cans of white spray paint.

Now it's listed as a Persuader.  ::) That finish... All I can say is, nice try?
