Surely so many have seen my countless posts looking for my first Alembic. The spoiler was the one that seemed to draw me in the most, from the menacing body shape to the killer tone to the list of huge heroes of mine that used them.. (Pete steele jason newsted, Cliff burton, Paulo pinto).. I was ready to give up, no lefties seemed to exist, and being a high school senior finishing up my tenure in school, I'm unable to work full time yet to afford a custom build.... When low and behold, someone on the board recently received a lefty spoiler as an inheritance and was selling it, messaged me, and within the month it was mine! I'm now the proud owner of it and it's the best bass I've ever used. I'm hooked on Alembic now, but with all i went through to find this and it being my first even if it's not the only one in my life someday it'll always mean the most to me.

sweet!  
that's awesome,congrats

Congrats!

Nice bass and even nicer story!
 
Congratulations!

Have what you love, and love what you have!
 
All the best to you.

Great score! Spoilers are awesome, I got sounds with mine that I haven't been able to get anywhere else. I like the wood on yours too - hope we get to see some more pics!

Thank you everyone  and I will definitely post more pictures on the forum sometime! I have plenty of pictures but it says they're too big of file size to post, so I'll have to find different ones.

Congratulations, the bass is lovely.
Looks like solid Koa wings from the picture, very nice.
Play it healthy.
As they say all good things are worth waiting for.
 
There is picture viewer software called IrfanView
Download for free and it will offer to down size pictures for web viewing.

A good story with a happy ending during the holiday season: priceless.
Congrats, George, although I'm a bit jealous; I didn't get my first Alembic 'till age 43! As you know, good things come to those who wait.....

Congratulations, very cool! I started my journey with alembic with a used Distillate. Watch out, they are very addictive!
