OK - here's some pictures to show the pickup tilt on my Spoiler:

 

Thats pretty darn close to the strings alright.

Not touching, though. And they do sound a lot hotter this close to the strings.
 
I bet I can bring the action down a notch from here yet. The pickups may have to go down a bit for that ...

I was thinking the action looked like it could be lowered. The Pups look like they are as high (even higher on the ends) than the frets.  
I keep my fairly close to the strings and you are right about them being hotter.  
 
That's a cool top on that bass too.  
 
OO

In the first picture, you're looking down on the bass somewhat - the bridge is level with the viewing angle from the camera, and it's lowered on the treble side. The far end of the pickup makes it look closer to the string than it actually is.
 
Watermark koa rules! More of that scrumptiousness here.

Love that Spoiler Adriaan!!!
The Epic is just great too.
You're a lucky guy to have those two beauties.
Enjoy them

Some guys have all the luck, George. Wouldn't mind welcoming a fine and mighty Series I like yours into the fold - some day ...

OK, two more shots, one with the action as low as it will go:

  ... and one where you can see that the pickups are not quite as high as the top fret:

Your setup looks axactly like mine.....same pup angles etc.
Mine was done by Chris Ward at the bas Centre in London, when I bought the bass.
Never altered it since!

Alembics impose their setup preferences on the unsuspecting setter-upper.
 
Still undecided if I want to keep it this low - it's a very buttery feel (even with the stiffer LoRiders, though I've just put on HiBeams) but you can't really dig in without fret rattle all over the place.

WOW....that Series II in Flame walnut looks veeeeery familiar !   Haha!
