Thanks for the support. :-) longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 378 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, September 10, 2010 - 8:16 am:    You did see this post and picture from 2007: http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/44043.html bobby77 New Username: bobby77 Post Number: 2 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Friday, September 10, 2010 - 8:16 pm:    Yes, it's like looking a picture of my girlfriend kissing some other guy. Anyone have any idea what wood these black spoilers are made from?

IIRC, the solid finish basses are usually solid mahogany. Get Spoiled! longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 380 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 11, 2010 - 9:16 pm:    Painted Spoilers were made of Maple, not Mahogany. There are a few threads here were you can see one stripped of it's finish. bobby77 New Username: bobby77 Post Number: 3 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Thursday, November 25, 2010 - 8:06 am:    All maple? I'd love to know 100% if this was true. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9893 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, November 25, 2010 - 9:55 am:    Hi Bobby, welcome to the board! When Mica has a chance to pull your build card, that should tell us the makeup of your bass. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7075 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, November 29, 2010 - 2:17 pm:    Most solid black Spoilers and Distillate basses were made for solid Maple body wings. But I will confirm when I get to this record. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7485 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, October 07, 2011 - 11:16 am:    Here's what I found in the instrument file: SMB4 Spoiler 4-string Bass body: Solid Maple neck: 3-piece Maple scale: 32" medium fingerboard: Ebony inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals body shape: Spoiler peghead shape: Cone finish: Opaque Black pickups: AXY controls: "Spoiler" volume, filter, 2-position Q switch, 4-position rotary pickup selector switch, mono output originally made for: Music Workshop birthday: Not recorded, but likely November 1988
