History Request - 1985 Spoiler w/Serial Number = 85S3721
« on: April 09, 2025, 04:50:48 PM »
I just purchased a 1985 5-string Spoiler to compliment my 1984 4-string Spoiler.  I'd like to have the history on the 5-string if it is available.  I received the info on the 4-string from you in 2007.   :)

Thanks,

Pat Hamrock

Hello-
Just be prepared to wait a while for the info request.
Love to see a fellow spoiler( I have a few as well...Love them!)
All y 5 strings are with a high C instead of low B...
Can really go wrong with an Alembic!

Thanks for the heads up.

I've got it tuned as low B and string diameter aligns well with bridge and nut.

Looking at Alembic string sets the strings are as follows so it seams like B/E/A/D/G should be good on my 5-string. Plese let me know if you've had a different experience.
CX-3/45L .045, .065, .080, .105
CX-3/45LB .045, .065, .080, .105, .128
