Imagine a bass player playing on the stairs stumbeling over his cord... Ouch! But then again, who would play a plugged in bass on the stairs? If th electronics are fine, this could be a nice deal. It's still an Alembic (Message edited by fc_spoiler on September 20, 2006) effclef Senior Member Username: effclef Post Number: 431 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 6:26 am:    Electronics could be changed - four knobs isn't correct for a stock Spoiler... Maybe this was owned by that JayDee ebay ex-wife lady?

If it's the same guy that has left his wife or got kicked out, then I think it's really scary... since he lives in the USA now, could she be that bad? -LOL- lothartu Intermediate Member Username: lothartu Post Number: 177 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 9:02 am:    "Maybe this was owned by that JayDee ebay ex-wife lady?" Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe she decided to chop down a tree or take a swing at ol' Jaydee with that one. - Jim 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 347 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 9:07 am:    Could this be the USA Whippet's Dinkel? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4434 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 8:07 pm:    The knobs don't look stock; I would think that's a good indication the electronics aren't Alembic. Any interested buyers should ask for a picture of the control cavity.
