I am not sure if the big ALEMBIC at the body is rub on but it sure looks hokey. Beautiful bass otherwise! EffClef | ||

The bass was posted here previously. By the way, the earliest Spoilers had a genuine rub-on logo and "Spoiler" script. | ||

How long ago was that here, Adriaan? Yes, I remember the lettered Spoilers. This lettering reminds me of Kubicki somehow.  EffClef | ||

Can't seem to find it right now, but I clearly remember the lettering - it makes that Elan look cheap. Now if you know what type of remover fluid to use ... (Message edited by adriaan on January 29, 2007) | ||

Adriaan! What a coincidence, there's a transfer decal Spoiler on Ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ALEMBIC-SPOILER-BASS-GUITAR-VINTAGE-RARE_W0QQitemZ270084721000QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem EffClef | ||

The Elan is actually mine that I am selling on ebay. The lettering appears to be a pressure sensitive adhesive backed lettering much like a bumper sticker. The letters are black vinyl. I bought this bass used 2 years ago and the lettering was on it when I purchased it. I never removed the letters, but I am sure they would come off very easily. |
