Finally got around to this after quite a while. I became the third (at least) British owner of the 86 Spoiler showm below. Regulars will have seen this bass a few times before, my ultimate aim is to get together some photos that really do this bass justice. This place looks like a splendid resource, looking forward to discussing stuff with you

Welcome to the forum and good to see yet another fine alembic on this side of the pond.  Maybe one day I will get to see and hear one live at a gig here in the UK.

Welcome to the forum from North of the Border John. Good to see another British player. If you're ever up in Scotland let me know so we can meet up for a drink. (that's an open invitation to everyone in the club).

Hi John, welcome to the board!  Unusual grain pattern on that top; very nice!

Cheers everyone, Graeme I get up to Scotland usually once a year (wife's family are in Perth) so that drink might be on.
 
I've attached a photo from under the truss cover, I wondered if the initials are significant?

John; the initials are most probably the initials of the person that carved the body.
