Hello,
 
I'm new to the Alembic community.  I was given a five string 1990 Spoiler,in very good almost excellent condition,a few weeks ago. I didn't realize what I had until about a week later when I started reseaching the bass on the internet. What a blessing!!!  I'm a beginner so hopefully I've got some music in me.  Peace.

Congratulations Byron and welcome to the forum.
 
Pictures are always welcome around here, if you have the ability to take some digital photos we'd love to have a look at that Spoiler.

Byron,
Welcome to the club.  That is outrageously great to be given an Alembic.  Starting at the top!

Congrats Byron!  And welcome to the board!  Five string Spoilers are a little on the rare side; so that's even cooler!

1jamjam - you lucky man and a 5 stringer, welcome to our elite place.
To be given an Alembic to learn on instead of the really bad beginner basses most of us learnt on is a truly amazing gift. I am afraid you will find all other basses pale into insignificance.

Byron,
Welcome - come on in and get your groove on!
 
This is a great place with alot of good people that are more than willing to help you with any questions/ concerns you may have.

Hello again, Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I will try to sumbit pic's tommorrw and I might even have a few questions.

Welcome Byron,  You not only have a fine bass - you have a great community along with it. Many of us have more the one Alembic but you are the first I've heard of who was given one.
 
Your karma account must be maxed!!
 
Peace, Roger

Welcome 1jamjam. You have been blessed. Oh, what a lucky man he was... What wood? That's just awesome!
