Dear All,
very heavy hearted but I must let my Spyder 8 go.
This is serial no. 8 (like 8string :-) ) of 25 total made.
It has the following features:
1.75 body thickness, flame maple top and back, walnut core, 7piece neck maple/purpleheart, 34??long scale, pointed headstock with gold gotoh tuners, oval mother of pearl inlays, brass bridge, single brass tailpieces, sterling silver spiderweb inlays, Anniversary electronics, red side LED?s, deluxe case.
It has the classical string setup e/E a/A d/D g/G.
This is ideal for pick playing but also fingerstyle playing is really great with this setup.
----------------------------------------------------
I have this bass since October 2004 and was only rarely played compared to my Spyder 4 string. The condition is really great, no dings or scratches or buckle wear on the back.
I think many people in here know me and you can trust in my words. As said before, I have to do this very heavy hearted due to financial problems.
I don?t have a digicam so I could send you only a photo done with my mobile phone cam. If you are really seriously interested I will try to loan a digicam somewhere.
Official retail in 2005 for this was USD 13500.
My asking price is USD 8150 plus shipping.
Many thanks for your attention.
Oliver (Spyderman)
