I wonder if this is medium scale. That string spacing looks perfectly wide.

Update: Owner stated the bass is long scale.

I believe you're right about the spacing. This looks like a late-model Spoiler too... large AXY pickups, collet knobs, walnut pinstripes in the neck. Makes it difficult for my eyes to scale it. Probably medium-scale, but I wouldn't bet the farm or the Series I on it. I know of at least a couple long-scale variants. There was a Persuader 6 in long-scale floating around (euphemistically) for sale for a while.

But the price boys...the price. Regardless of whether its a medium or long scale that price can get one a lot more than a Spoiler within the Alembic line even at today's prices.

Dis one! I tried to buy it when it was on reverb. It is long scale. I agree Brian, it's too much for an asking price.
