Would of course prefer an Alembic case, but would rather not continue to use the gig bag that was purchased with it. Thanks for all the help fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 470 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 8:22 am:    Welcome! Is the Persuader Spoiler shaped? I use a Justincase and a Ken Smith case for my Spoilers. I don't like the Justincase, it's too wide. The Ken Smith case is great! Perfect fit and a very solid case. djmckaytx New Username: djmckaytx Post Number: 3 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 11:16 am:    Thanks for the welcome and the case tip. Yes, it is spoiler shaped with the P&J pickups and three knobs. Still waiting to receive it (an e-bay purchase) and am a little curious about scale length and the handling of the electronics since this is my first Alembic. I have played a passive-wired '85 P-Bass with a maple neck for the last 15 years or so. I know how to play funk style, but generally play typewriter style (a la John Entwistle). Also wondering about strings and setup. Any hints here would also be appreciated. :D davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4982 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 18, 2007 - 8:19 am:    Hi Donald, welcome and congrats on acquiring the Persuader!
