My first Alembic, 1983 lefty spoiler (koa).

[xero_tolerance]

Surely so many have seen my countless posts looking for my first Alembic. The spoiler was the one that seemed to draw me in the most, from the menacing body shape to the killer tone to the list of huge heroes of mine that used them.. (Pete steele jason newsted, Cliff burton, Paulo pinto).. I was ready to give up, no lefties seemed to exist, and being a high school senior finishing up my tenure in school, I'm unable to work full time yet to afford a custom build.... When low and behold, someone on the board recently received a lefty spoiler as an inheritance and was selling it, messaged me, and within the month it was mine! I'm now the proud owner of it and it's the best bass I've ever used. I'm hooked on Alembic now, but with all i went through to find this and it being my first even if it's not the only one in my life someday it'll always mean the most to me.

I just saw you are 17.   When I was your age, Rickenbacker was on my most wanted list.   At that time, I had never heard of Alembic.   After all, they had only been around a few years.  When I was 17, I saved up for my dream bass.  I finally found a 1975 model in great shape.   I still have him - yes, him.   His name is Rick - LOL.   his photo is on my profile page.   Yes you will always cherish your first love!
 
Play her well!
