This bass has been offered since 12/3/08, so maybe an even better deal could be had. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7670 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 3:31 pm:    That would be this bass. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2198 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 4:32 pm:    Doh... I took a quick look here but still managed to miss it. Thanks Dave... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7671 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 4:37 pm:    I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. jedisan Junior Username: jedisan Post Number: 48 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 5:28 pm:    I'm surprised as well... would be a great bass for a Metallica type of situation. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2199 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 5:35 pm:    With the exception of Danno, I think the vast majority of the Alembic community would rather look at a nice piece of wood. One would think, though, that a reasonable price on any Spoiler would make it attractive. Actually, I'm not even sure about Danno - he might prefer to look at the wood, but feel the solid black is more appropriate for his on-stage gear in his chosen genre. And, you know, I think when he's in this idiom, he sometimes gets a bit, uh, sort of carried away. tmoney61092 Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 68 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 7:06 pm:    i love that bass, i just don't have enough money, and it makes it even harder since i want to start a Metallica tribute/type band, maybe she will be mine one day ~Taylor dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 973 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 7:20 pm:    I do love the simple elegance of black but I also have some flame maple, quilt maple, flame koa, flame walnut, spalted something (on a Stambaugh) and cocobolo. All are very dear to me but would not cut it with a heavy music, angry and tattooed crowd. If I didn't already have a black Spoiler (83) I would have picked this one up. And yes I get intensely carried away on stage as is fitting for my ...... uh....what's the word?..... Idiom sir? Idiom yes! Thank you Concorde! Huge..... tracks uh land! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2201 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 01, 2009 - 7:42 pm:    Had every confidence you'd see through that one, Danno! bluplirst Junior Username: bluplirst Post Number: 44 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, March 02, 2009 - 12:16 am:    Hey Danno, If the Stambaugh in question happens to have a dragon inlay, I'm pretty sure that would have a mango top.

Yes it does, double dragon really with Signature electronics ta boot. Someone get this Spoiler for their own and acquire a case of Alembic fevah! That's how I got hooked.
