I'll be selling the Spoiler to help finance this:

Congtraulations Michael,
Going from one maple beauty to another - very cool. I keep waiting for a lotto winner (or at least a raise) to make my move to Series brotherhood.
Mike

Wondering where this Spoiler 89S5560USA is now?

After tracking down this old serial number request thread,

http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/4692.html

I believe she is the twin sister to my Persuader 89P5559USA. And in looking closely at the figuring in the quilted top, I think they may even have been cut from the same board. Those same little eyes also appear on mine, but in a flip matched position. I won't hijack the thread, but here is the thread where I was restoring her, in case someone's looking.

No way! Hey fmm and edwardofhuncote!

For some reason, I had the urge today to do some research on my 1989 Spoiler. I googled the serial number which led me to this thread; that's the pic of it! When I got to the end, boom!, there was your msg edward with the serial number! So you decide to post a note on a thread from 6 yrs ago, then I randomly decide to do some research 3 weeks later. How weird is that?

Anyway, yep, I have your bass's sister here near Chicago. So how did I get it? It was a gift for my 50th birthday back in 2011! My family (about 20 people) all kicked in to buy this bass that my brother found online. Totally stunned. Needless to say, the best present ever. :-)

I signed up for this forum today just to respond because it was so coincidental. Ha, ha! Happy playing!

Wow the universe aligns itself to produce a episode of Kismet

Hey Joe,
If we ever pull together another Chicago Alembic Gathering you are most certainly invited. Maybe the kismet here will create superficiality momentum to make a second Chicago Gathering happen.

Here's a link to the last one we had (pics are far down the page) - it was an epic event!

Welcome to the forum Joe, pleased to meet you!

What a very cool coincidence you found my post in such a timely way, but if you hang around here a while, you'll see things like that happen a lot.

I'm glad to see my Persuader's sister went to a good home where she's getting played. We should get them together for a photo-op one day.
