Original paperwork. I played a rehersal with it tonight and really loved it. This makes four for me. Anyone want a Fender?

Congratulations Nick ! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 989 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 6:44 am:    Nice, Nick - but a Spoiler with P/J p/ups & 3 round knobs? Seems more Persuaderish. Is there a Q switch hiding in that dark CB top? Peter afrobeat_fool Advanced Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 316 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 10:58 am:    Right, right. My bad Totally a persuader. I was celebrating ala Bill tgo. Bass on, brain off. How are you recovering, Peter?

Awesome Bass any way you call it _______________ cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 990 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 12:50 pm:    Hey, it's still a Spoiler body (my favorite). The pain is about gone, but it doesn't feel like my back yet, if that makes sense; it's like I can feel the hole where the bone was, & the lowest 1/4 is stiff. Had a about a week sleepless stopping the pain pills after 6 months, but that's done. The worst thing now is wearing this damn brace. Hoping to lose it after my next Dr. appt. the 21st. And to return to the tracks, that's about the darkest CB I've seen (and did I mention that I love Spoiler bodies?).

Now here are some of the other things that came with this bass. My biggest question is why are there three sets of electronics? The set in the body and two different sets that were in the case. One is definitely a persuader set. I have the bill of sale. But what is the other set? only two controlls? They look to be Alembic, but what do I know? Any help here? I am going to post it in the serial # section, Mica might have some files.

The one on the right looks like a Pan/Filter/Vol..... What's on the bass currently???? afrobeat_fool Advanced Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 320 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 5:56 pm:    Pan/filter/vol. is currently in the bass. what would the vol/vol be good for? Fender w/active p-ups? It just suprised me that they were in there at all. Nick pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 742 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 3:29 am:    Vol/Vol/Filter was the default for Persuaders back then. Looks like a previous owner upgraded to an Essence setup. For something different, you might want to try the Vol/Vol setup~ there's some nice comb-filtering tones when you have one pup up and roll back the other one slightly. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10227 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 6:36 pm:    I think Mike is right; the V/V/F was probably the original setup, and then the V/P/F was ordered as a replacement. At first I was thinking the set on the left may have been for a single pickup instrument, just Volume and Filter; but it looks like it may be missing something. The reason I say that is that it looks like there are a couple connectors not plugged in to anything. serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 889 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - 3:00 am:    what type of fender are we talking?.... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10228 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - 7:09 am:    Keavin; I think it's this one on Ebay. afrobeat_fool Advanced Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 322 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - 9:24 am:    Nice one, Dave!!!
