Sold my Spyder, but it's a good thing ....

Well, it's Sunday evening here in Sumter SC.  Spyder had her first outing here last night at a small club behind Shaw AFB.  Bunch of people there.  Everyone was freaking out over her.  I was stunned by the good sound put out.  
 
All my other basses, when played by me... I could never seem to get upper notes to sound out to where I could hear them.  Spyder roared out loud and clear across the entire range.  For the first time in my years of playing Freebird I could actually hear what I was doing (during the instrumental last half of the piece).
 
People were coming up to me right and left during the breaks to ask me about the Spyder.  
 
My bandmates told me they've never heard anything like it.  Full, clean and clear with just the right amount of growl.
 
I'm so very happy with Spyder.

Dean, I guess I'm a little late but it's nice to meet you.  Congratulations on the Spyder.  Leon Wilkenson(RIP)always had a nice selection of basses that I'm surprised he didn't play Alembic.
