Hi Mica. After finding this forum I am beginning to see why every review about Alembic Customer Support has been 100%. I am buying my first used Alembic. Can you tell me about SN #906027? (I think the seller left out the S after 90 since this is a Spoiler). | ||

You're right, the complete serial number is 90S6027 for this SLSB4 top: Flame Koa body: Mahogany neck: 3-piece Maple (long scale, unusual for Spoilers) fingerboard: Ebony fretless birthday: July 6, 1990 Originally sold to: Arnoldt Williams Music 2 previous registered owners on file There is no record of repair for this bass. If you wind up getting this bass, please do register it to keep the file current. The long scale is not typical for Spoilers, most were medium scale. On a 4-string it shouldn't cause a balance problem. Also, Koa is one of our top choices for fretless tone, it's very warm and smooth. Have you had a chance to play it yet? | ||

Thank you very much for the information. It came at a perfect time as I have yet to pay for the bass (ready to press the paypal "trigger" after this post). I have not played it yet. LS you say... hmm I didn't know that - I just assumed medium scale. Having a "non-typical" spoiler kind of appeals to me as long as it is all original. The fretless / koa / completely mint condition is exactly what I was looking for even though the price tag is a bit high based on other spoilers I have seen around. I know intuitively - not even having played an Alembic - that I am going to be spoiled rotten from now on... Bolt-on J's and P's and even my 4001 aren't ever going to be good enough after I take the plunge. My crystal ball has just produced an image - wait! it's a series II with my name on it. Will register it as soon as I get it. Thanks Mica. |
