Jason started out with Spoiler and Elan Basses. Then on a visit to the Alembic Shop he had the opportunity to play a Series II bass. Then all his basses were Series II going forward.

Hi favorite specs were:
Europa in 4, 5 & 10 string
Flame Maple Top
Maple/Purpleheart necks
Cone Peghead
Sheer Black on body and front of Peghead
Clear finish on the neck and back of Peghead
Series II electronics

Any inside (factory) pics would be great :-)
