At the suggestion of Flip, here is my newest prize, dubbed Ruby Red. (The 1989 custom ruby red finish Spoiler that I nabbed for $850). The finest sounding bass I have ever played. Welcome any comments on this bad boy.

First one I've seen with a thumb rest. How do you like it? Look cool.

Sweet!

Olie,

Rarely use the thumb rest. Doesn't get in the way. Don't want to mess with anything that came with the bass so I left it on. The bass is a dream to play.

Beatiful bass Rich, Welcome to The Club. There was a thumb rest on my Orion when I got it, I removed it and filled in the screw holes, it came out great. That red is stunning.
Any Alembic for $850 is a great deal! Congrats!

Does anybody have a guess at what a standard Spoiler cost when sold as new in '89?

Not an exact answer, but around $1200 list in 1984 BTW - she is a pretty redhead ;o)
