My '83 Spoiler also shows signs of her age, you can see she's been played a lot. I'ts my favorite, beats the '87 both on playability and sounds. (Though I wouldn't say the '87 is bad

)
Here are some pictures of her Beautymarks:

On the last picture you can see a severe damaged area on the bottom. Still puzzles me what could have caused that... There's also some wood erosion around the pickups.

Fc Spoiler, by the looks of the back of your neck you stay in the 'LOW ZONE'!

I would guess that damage was caused by a strap falling off the button and left hand holding the neck by the nut as the bass swung down to graze the floor. Maybe a concrete basement floor at that. Just a guess based on that pic...

I bought this bass a year ago, pretty much in the same state as she is in now. I bought the Fender new in '92 and as you can see I tend to play in the upper regions instead...

(I guess practicing Cliff Burton's solo for years is responsible for that finish wear @ the 12th fret position...)

If you play it, they will come.

(The scuffs and dings that is)
