1984 Spoiler? On eBay
« on: September 03, 2021, 07:37:40 AM »
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-ALEMBIC-4-STRINGS-MODEL-SPOILER-BASS-GUITAR-ELECTRIC-MADE-IN-USA-/165050315017?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I’m new here, but this body shape looks “different”.  Is this really an Alembic?  Did they make Spoilers shaped like this?

Pretty sure we've seen this one before. It looks to me like a re-bodied Spoiler. Someone cut the wings off and added their own.

I think Jazzy spotted that one a little while back. Consensus was, it was the neck beam and electronics from a Spoiler, the someone fairly skillful had reconfigured. Not sure what they started with either. Could be its body was a total loss.

Hang on a minute... it's here somewhere... [loud banging and clanging]

Ah. I knew it was here somewhere. ;D
