I have a vintage spoiler 5 string and I've never really used it enough to warrant having the 5 strings. If anyone could help find one or have anything they'd be willing to trade, I would love to find someone to trade for a vintage Rickenbacker or a 4 string Alembic. For an Alembic, i would prefer to find one with a dark color, as I'm not a big fan of the maple look. You can see the spoiler at http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/62264.html?1236604528

thanks

Jay-

I don't have what you're looking for as a trade, but you can post or email me a price if you want to sell it straight up. Looking at Ric prices on eBay, you should be in the ballpark with a fair value.

New pictures here http://s590.photobucket.com/albums/ss346/jaytopp009/?action=view&current=P1010140.jpg

Info on the bass:

- Born in 1986
- Early 5 String Model
- 32" scale
- Highly Figured Walnut Top
- Mahogany Body
- 3-Piece Maple neck
- Perfect Ebony Fingerboard
- Pickup Selector
- Professionally set up to play fast and low

Excellent condition, does not show it's age whatsoever. Has a rich, sweet Low B string. With it's super close string spacing, it makes it very fast. Thin, fast neck, very speedy bass all in all. Housed in a non-smoking environment.

Go, Ray! I'm partial to purpleheart in the neck or I would have made an offer. I would just convert it to EADGC anyway.
