Thanks. artswork99 Senior Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1043 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - 6:39 am:    Kym, Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

It is such a comfortable bass. It is by far, my favorite shape. And yes, you will be surprised once you plug it in! Congratulations! And don't forget the pictures!

One of my dreams is for an 8-string Alembic - someday! I used to own an Exploiter (same shape as the Spyder) - my one word of advice is to be careful walking around with it - I dinged the pointy end of mine several times on doorjambs! gregduboc Advanced Member Username: gregduboc Post Number: 385 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Friday, March 26, 2010 - 12:02 pm:    Harry is absolutely right... Damn you, doorjambs...

I have heard that they are well balanced. I am already dreaming of getting a Spyder 4 to keep the 8 company...some day! kdud New Username: kdud Post Number: 5 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 4:04 am:    Well, finally got it, had it for just over a week now. Took a little longer than first expected, but definetly worth the wait, what an awesome instrument. Just feels so right to play, standing or sitting, and the tone... A few pics taken by the store before I got it home. Enjoy. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1192 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 5:44 am:    NICE! That's beautiful and I'll bet it sounds spectacular! Congratulations Kym. Play it Healthy! Art BTW, did it come with the original Alembic card with specifications? If so, these will be the same details that are supplied by this request thread. Please feel free to add your pictures to our Showcase (most likely the Custom Basses section where I found other Spyder basses).
