Title: New '86 Spoiler
Post by: lembic76450 on March 18, 2004, 06:37:37 PM: This is my new spoiler that I bought off E-bay a couple of weeks ago. The sellers pics did not do justice to the flame koa.

Post by: adriaan on March 19, 2004, 02:26:29 AM: Let's face it: pictures never do justice to koa because it's just hard to photograph properly with all the tricks it plays on the light that strikes it. But hey, that's a pretty good effort! That's a very goodlooking bass, and it's nice to get to know such a close relative of my 88 koa Spoiler (http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/7309.html?1072867394 (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=8944)).

Just a warning: don't stare at it all day, pick it up and play it from time to time.
