Hey Danno. I saw your latest Excel at the factory this weekend. It looks pretty cool. Some would call it a sin to cover up such a nice piece of wood but I must admit that all that black looks pretty slick.

Think of it as preserving the wood from UV damage for all eternity. Hey I can always go back to clear for about a grand sometime down the road.

Hi ya folks...Im the shumck what bought the Black 84 Spoiler. I could really care less about the Prince thing,just wanted another Spoiler!! I have owned 4 of them thru the years (always made money on them when i sold them!!) and loved them to death.
Ive known Susan and Mica since I was 16 (I would call and bug them about building me a bass) I have worked at/managed a couple of huge Alembic dealerships in the past and own my own music store now (Susan, I promise we will be a dealer!)
I sit here know waiting for the Fed-ex truck to show up with my Spoiler....Im drooling and my head is spinning..will let all of you know how she works out!!!

Hm, you re-read Atlas Shrugged @-{ ... Sounds to me like you must be on a self-congratulatory trip - hey hey hey, to each his own.

Nope, no self-congratulations.....Just tired of making lottsa money for other people.Plus the bass is a gift from my self.I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and dont have much longer that i can continue to gig.So when I do play...I wanna have the best.
