[SOLD] 2023 Series II 4 string Spoiler
« on: March 11, 2023, 06:47:52 AM »

My basses are almost finished! :-)
Too bad, covid made my financial situation a bit too weak...
So I decided to let go of the Spoiler, I have a fantastic one from '83 so that made this step a bit easier.


Specs are:
Spoiler medium scale bass
1 Option 32"
1 Option Classic neck taper
1 Option Spoiler 3 piece maple neck with 2 walnut pinstripes
1 Option Chambered plain Maple body
1 Option Side LEDs red
1 Option Ebony front of peghead
1 Option Zebrawood back of peghead
1 Option Opaque gloss black finish with clear back of neck and Peghead ALL GLOSS
1 Option Black plastic backplates
1 Option Black Tahitian MOP ovals
1 Option 24K gold plated Bronze Logo & Script and Shell
8 Option Alembic Abalone Rays
1 Option Series II electronics pickups
1 Option Alembic Gotoh Cosmos Black tuners
1 Option 24K Gold Plated plated hardware
1 Option Gold Straplock
1 Option 159 Hardshell Case for U4&5


Its basically a Spoiler 4 string Jason Newsted style with Series II specs (incl hollow body) but without the Purpleheart neck lams (standard new spec Spoiler neck, 3 piece Maple + Walnut veneers)
I don't have a Power Supply with it, if you make an offer keep that in mind (minus +/-500 I guess?)


Will do trades, but need at least Eur 10.000 cash. Bin is Eur 17.500, but don't hesitate to hit we with an offer ;-)
I've been waiting well over three years now, this could be yours at a heavily discounted price and zero wait time! (will be finished within weeks)
My mail address is fclandstra at the hotmail service (dot com that is) But I'm better reachable through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fc.morte

Man, I am sorry to hear about this, Flip... must be really tough after the wait. Like you said though, that '83 is magic, and you have a lot of history with it.


Someone else will have the bass of a lifetime here. A blacked-out Series II Spoiler. What's badder-ass than that? Well, maybe the bass guy it was built for.  8)

My best wishes are with you Flip and a quick resolution. I'm right behind you in the wait department. Builds character don't it !
Keep it Black my friend.

Wow, sad news that you are having to give up one of your dream basses. I know you have waited a long time for both of these basses. I hope you find a way to keep them both. 🤞🏾

I'm sorry to hear it, too, BUT if it was a 34" scale I'd do what I could to get it to match the twin of this I own in Excel version.
My Alembic : - 2002 Excel
                    - 1992 Europa
                    - 1991 Essence

The Spoiler was finished, but failed final inspection.
So back in spray, but will be finished soon according to Mica :-)


Attached is a pic from last week, there might also be a pic showing it fully assembled. (Mica is checking for that)

Nice, cool that you went with the "hat" knobs. Play it loud and play it in good health!
