Please, What is the official name of my beloved bass? I purchased it some 20 odd years ago in Detroit, and proceeded to lose all the paperwork that came with it. I would also love to know its approximate value, beyond the emotional, of course. There is a picture on my profile page.

Hi Tim,
The S in the serial# means that the main build features are those of a Spoiler. Obviously the body shape is non-standard for a Spoiler: this one is known as the "Exploiter".
Nice one! We'd love to see more pics on the Showcase. |

Sorry these can take so long to research. It's especially frustrating when the file is AWOL. There's not much I can tell you about your bass except that it was made in December of 1985.
Here's what I can tell from the photo:
top: can't see well, probably Walnut
body: Mahogany
neck: 3-piece Maple
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: AXY
controls: volume, pickup selector, filter, Q-switch, mono output
body shape: Exploiter
Sorry there isn't more I can provide. I'll let you know if I ever locate the original file (they are sometimes just misfiled). |
