Not 100% sure of the Spoiler serial (especially the 2) as the stamping is pretty shallow. All info appreciated. Thx texangerbil Junior Username: texangerbil Post Number: 15 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008 - 5:00 am:    Sorry, these are both mine bought in the last few months. The Persuader is beautiful, the Spoiler is seriously beaten up. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5445 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 2:46 pm:    Hi Nigel, Please take a moment and write the serial number of these basses in the control cavity for future reference.

I forgot I found 2 files for the Persuader. The second (temporary and now destroyed) file had a previous owner in 2004 from New York. texangerbil Junior Username: texangerbil Post Number: 27 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 2:47 am:    Thanks Mica. If you want to update the Persuader file, the neck is actually a 7-piece maple/purpleheart laminate.
