the description kinda stretches reality, but what a monster bass! Whhoo!
Nor those with thin wallets!
My first thought when I saw that was of the 6 stringer "Bonnie" that belonged to one of our members "Paul", who passed away a few years ago.
It isn't the same wood top as his but the size and overall body styling is similar.
That will be a great bass for someone and not for the faint hearted.

I would not be that person in either regard. But if I was, it would certainly check all the boxes.
Any idea what the seller is talking about re: "stock Series II electronics w/an added 4-way Filter"? Or is he just misunderstanding something about stock SII electronics?
not sure if the seller really know what he's talking about, he uses the same verbiage in all his listings as far as i can tell. must've got a little sloppy with the copy and paste this time around...
Quotea rare 32" Medium Scale Bass w/its larger body also made famous by none other than my mentor, Stanley Clarke, whom I personally learned every lick from Clarke's "School Days" album back in 1976, ....
i think i have some hip waders around here somewheres...
I have 2 Custom Spoilers with this spacing. A Flame koa 6 fretted and a 7 Cocobolo lined fretless. I can tell you that they are both easy to navigate. Over the years I have had all the scales Alembic offers and my preference is the 32 medium scale. Sometimes a leap of faith can be a positive life changing experience.
