FC,
Nice looking Spoiler, cool gig pics, and welcome to the club.  I'm sure you'll get some comments about the headstock.

Hi everyone! I was bidding on a Alembic Elan on E-Bay last week. I was overbid by E 110 ($110) but the seller offered me the bass for E 1000 1 day later. After some research and help from clubmembers speicky and albrecht it turned out to be a hoax!
A year ago I bought A 1983 spoiler on ebay for E 1146, (sadly not in my collection anymore)I payed in advance and everything went well. Now I've learned that a hoax like this is easy to set up, so please be carefull out there!!!

Hi, FC,
 
did ya do some kick a** in Germany tonite ... LOL ! I missed to comment your Spoiler and gig pics with all the past trouble ! Really, really cool. Well, I own a 1983 Spoiler since last year. Just wondered if you were the previous owner, but that would be a way too much constructed story to be true... Just as life !
 
Take care (and play loud !)

Hidiho! I got that 1983 Spoiler from Germany on feb. 22 2005 and swapped it in dec. 2005 for a Gibson ripper fretless. I just could resist, the Alembic was very worn out and had bad electronics. It was a great bass to play and I think it would be simple to fix the electronics though. But i'm also very happy with my (new) Ripper.
My next Alembic will be an Elan I think and will be second hand for financial reasons. Still searching ebay for some real sellers.
Will be visiting Germany very soon, my sister lives in in Epe (Gronou)
Cheers!

p.s. I will look for more pictures of the 1983 Spoiler, there must be some 'Gig'pics. somewhere

Ok guys (and grlz) here's my confession...
Sometimes when you're young, you say some  
things which you regret when you're growing
 older and wiser.
I once said My next Alembic will be an Elan ...  
this was a lie... I got a Spoiler today!
Oh yes, me = multiAlembic owner again!
I swapped my Jazz Bass for a 1983 solid Koa Spoiler.
Serial # 83S2674, so it's not the one I previous owned.
Please check the Spoiler showcase, pictures will be there soon!
here's an appatizer:
 
83S2674 SMB4 Spoiler Bass  
body: solid Koa  
neck: Maple, 32 medium scale  
fingerboard: Ebony  
peghead veneers: Koa  
originally made for: Musik Instrument?  
birthday: May 17, 1983  
 
Cheers!
