Author Topic: '86 6 string Spoiler w/signature electronics and 5 pin out (Read 338 times)

This Zebrawood 6 string Spoiler has the look of a Series 1 with its five-pin-out and volume/volume- filter/filter-switch/switch configuration. A pickup selector switch that operates and placed like that of a series instrument adds to the confusion. It has the close string spacing and a 32inch string length associated with this style instrument, allowing you to manuver around the neck in a hasteless fashion. Body wood is SOLID Zebrawood and are not the typical hippy sandwich. I have put a lot of time taking this bass to my guitar guy and tweeking the pickups/string height, finding the right gage & kind of string to feel comfortable and make this bass screeeeem!

Hard case, five pin cord and power supply included. Blue box power supply has a stereo / mono switch added.

Yours for $2500. E for pix.

Hey David,
Did you get that bass from Craig the Guitar Broker? If so, that's a really intriguing bass.

Wow,
I know the bass.
Solid Zebra body is so nice !
I thought, it has the series electronics without hum cancel PU.

How about the signature electronics with ?}18V ?
These controlers are same as Anniversary electronics. (2 set of Vol.-Filt.-SW with PU select)
If your bass is working better than 9V, I want to do for my Anniv-Bass.

I've been in overload with answering requests for pix. Here's some post.
PIX TOO BIG>>>>>GOTTA MAKE SMALL
Can someone who I sent pix to make'm small and post'm for me?? Danke!

Hmmmm....What did I forget?
Yes, I did get this from Guitar Broker. She was in hurt'n condition when I got her and needed some work to get it up in acceptable visual & playing condition. All is excellent now.

I was told that Alembic will not make this 5 pin configuation any more on non series instruments.

Thanks for all your interests. It is still available. I will be going the EBAY route in a few days.

Thanks, David

Dave,

Where are you at with your bass sale?

I've got a Bubinga Essence 6 that is drop dead gorgeous, but its long scale and wide string spacing make it difficult for me to play. It's been upgraded with a set of blue LEDs from FretFX.

I'd like a short scale bass, preferable with narrow string spacing. I'd been hoping for an MK 6 Deluxe, but then thought about your bass and wondered whether you might be interested in a trade.

Tim: I had a surprizing amount of interest in this bass. It is that Holiday thing that is creating a void to make some completion. I initionally didn't want to consider any trades because I need some liquid. Why don't send me some pix? I'll check it out. ~Dave~

Holiday season is almost over. Things have been quiet the last two weeks. This instrument is still available. Let the fun begin.

I'm am going to be placing this bass on Ebay in another week or so. If you have any interest, let it be known now. Let's talk. Thanks!!
