OMG!!!
One of the guitar players who also is extremely enthusiastic (like me) about the '83 Spoiler commented after playing 3 notes: Now this one is my favorite :-)
 
Bass looks like new and sound absolutely amazing. :-)
There's a slight hum issue, I will take a closer look tomorrow. All trimpots were maxed out, so it got a bit better after a quick Humcancelling Procedure
There is a ground wire attached to the bridge, not sure what's that about, we'll see tomorrow... :-)
 
Absolutely amazing bass, happy camper here.
 
Thanx all for the nice comments and special thanx to Pierre-Yves for making this possible!

Okay, Flip, now be honest:
When are you sending Blackend back to Alembic for Series II conversion? (you know you want to...)
