My 83 BK Spoiler has some brothers out there. Right Flip? http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3925782 fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1046 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 3:37 pm:    Thanx for the link, been a while since I've seen that. :-) I must have seen that Spoiler in action a few times, have visited many ToN concerts in the 90's I kinda lost track after "October Rust" though... I've been wondering if maybe that is your black Spoiler (I guess not after your last post) or does mr. Steele still have/uses it?

He said how great they are after I mentioned that I played them. And he spoke highly of the Wickershams. I know he uses Washburns now and didn't ask if he still had them. Susan and Mica have some good stories to tell. Kenny and Johnny told me how great his Spoilers were and that you couldn't kill them. dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1244 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 15, 2010 - 7:56 am:    Pete died Wednesday from heart failure at the age of 48. I only met him a few times but when I got a call from a friend it really bummed me out. One of my favorite voices in heavy music is no more. alembicfan Member Username: alembicfan Post Number: 54 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Thursday, April 15, 2010 - 8:07 am:    I'm sorry to hear that. RIP PETE alembic83 Member Username: alembic83 Post Number: 51 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 - 6:51 pm:    Yes, this was sad news indeed. RIP. I sold a bass recently to a guy who said he used to spray paint basses with Peter back in the '90s - including the Spoiler(s)... dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1451 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 - 1:02 pm:    dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1452 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 - 1:04 pm:    dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1484 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, December 17, 2012 - 5:37 pm:    that_sustain Intermediate Member Username: that_sustain Post Number: 115 Registered: 8-2012 Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2013 - 8:53 pm:    Pete said in his BassPlayer interview that the Spoiler was the best bass he'd ever played in his life.
