I got a sibling for my '83 Spoiler, "Gator": a similar '83 Distillate with a Scorpion body with a black sigil, and Zebrawood laminates and headstock veneer, like Gator. Based on the pickup spacing, I'm calling this one "Thumper" as there is a open space to pop, slap, and pick aggressively, and a pickup and a bridge for Steve Harris-style/Cliff Burton-style galloping, anchored playing. The pickups seem wider than I expected and seem to be around the third and fourth octaves, so that is pretty cool, although I could be dead wrong about this. That's fine, I'm rather happy with it.
In terms of sound, I'm a bit out of shape in terms of playing something fit for a battle of the bands, so it may take time to produce sound that I am willing to part with and post anywhere, but this is a welcome addition, and I will hopefully showcase it when I can play "Running With The Devil" again. Also, now I can bask in Alembic fun while getting Gator fixed up.
Cheers,
