(The 1989 custom ruby red finish Spoiler that I nabbed for $850). The finest sounding bass I have ever played. Welcome any comments on this bad boy.

Doesn't get in the way. Don't want to mess with anything that came with the bass so I left it on. The bass is a dream to play.

There was a thumb rest on my Orion when I got it, I removed it and filled in the screw holes, it came out great. That red is stunning. Any Alembic for $850 is a great deal!
