Hi. I just bought an Alembic bass from my boss yesterday and I'd like to know a little about it, mainly the types of woods it's made of and the history. Thanks.

Dave, I was looking at your band's website, listening to some tunes, and I must say, I like it alot. I'll be visiting the site again when I get home this evening.

Hi Jimmy,

Here's what I found in the instrument file of your new-to-you Spoiler:

SMB4 Spoiler bass

neck: Maple with Koa peghead veneers, 32 scale
fingerboard: not recorded, but likely Ebony
inlays: not recorded, but likely pearloid

The original owner purchased the bass on June 15, 1983 and was in Louisiana.
