What is the string spacing on your 6 string Spoiler? How's the low B string sounding? Not too floppy with the medium scale?
2" at the nut, 2.5" at the 24th fret .  I always played it with a pick and never had issues with the low b.

I meant the string spacing at the bridge, between the strings. How much is that?

The 2" at the nut and 2.5" at the 24th fret for Dannobasso's Spoiler 6 are the same as the Classic taper measurements for a 5 string (https://alembicguitars.com/referencepages.html) so I'd guess the spacing will be under 14 mm.
