Title: Hello from the Netherlands!
Post by: Barend on April 01, 2026, 07:42:54 AM

Hi, I am new to this forum. This looks like a really nice forum.

I am a bass player from the Netherlands. I own a koa Spoiler bass. Really like it. So I caught the Alembic virus!  :)
Now I am looking for a medium scale series 1 bass. An Omega or Point has my preference, but I won't say no to a small body short scale either.

Here is me with my Spoiler, I have some more Spoiler video's on my YouTube channel. Hope you like it. Greetings, Barend:

Hi Barend, and welcome to the club!  Nice bass, nice playing.   What the gizmo that appears to be attached to the lower horn and resting on your leg?

Bill, the guitar one.

Thanks! That is a guitar support. Because when I play seated I play in a classical guitar position. It is instead of a classical guitar foot stool, so I can keep both feet on the ground. That support can be attached and detached easily without any damage.
