Title: 1989 Quilted Maple Spoiler 89S5473
Post by: fogdiver on January 03, 2012, 06:28:34 AM

After watching pictures of other Alembics for quite a while, I think it?s time to share my own.  I?ve bought my Spoiler in 1993 here in Germany, it was 2nd-hand, but it was looking like new - and on the whole it still does today! At this time I didn?t knew anything about Alembic at all, I just was so fascinated so I had to buy this bass (in the meantime I?ve managed to work against my lack of knowledge...).

Maybe that?s interesting for those who think, Alembics are not made for playing hard and heavy music! ;)

Nice collection. I have to ask,what is the bass on the far right.It has a familiar shape to another Alembic called a Valentino II.

Thanks for the nice words! The white bass is a self-creation, I made it myself.

Thanx a lot! :D
I also love to play my Rickenbacker in other songs, but this one in the video doesn´t work with that. The Alembic-sound works much better here.

Nice playing! Alembics are for sure made for hard and heavy metal! Sounds very good 🤘
