And quilt maple top, not flame... EffClef bracheen Advanced Member Username: bracheen Post Number: 397 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 20, 2004 - 7:05 am:    It looks like a Series I and quilted maple to me also. I sent the seller an email asking this question.

No it is a Series II Exploiter and the reason I know for sure is because I still have the receipt from when it was custom built for me and the pictures don't do it justice at all. Its flame maple. Thanks for the inquiry!" effclef Intermediate Member Username: effclef Post Number: 130 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, April 21, 2004 - 5:40 am:    Hmm, well that is odd. I only see two purpleheart laminates, and those sure look like toggles. Is there a chance it could be a Series 2 but with S 1 electronics? I forget what S2 wood specs are. As always, "buyer beware!" Sure is a beaut, though.

The body shape of the Spyders come closer to the original body shape of Johns Spyders, but also not 100%. On most of the Exploiters the lower horn is too thin and with a different angle than on Johns Spyders....... But anyway a real great bass....

I would assume that Mica or Val would post the specs of the bass here without the serial number if the seller gave them the number and asked that it be kept private, right?
