I recently asked for info on this serial # and was helped by adriaan-Thank you, by the way.  However, I would like,(if possible), to get a little more.  
For instance, when I purchased this bass (in Detroit) 24 years ago(ish), I was told it was custom ordered by someone who never came to pick it up.  Is this true?  If so, by whom?
I, being just a kid at the time, lost the paperwork, (documents), that came with it.  Could I possibly get a description of woods used, electronics package, etc.-or, better yet, replacement paperwork?
Any other info I'm not thinking of?
I would absolutly appreciate any help I can get.
                     Thanks, Tim

Please, What is the official name of my beloved bass?  I purchased it some 20 odd years ago in Detroit, and proceeded to lose all the paperwork that came with it.  I would also love to know its approximate value, beyond the emotional, of course.  There is a picture on my profile page.

Hi Tim,
 
The S in the serial# means that the main build features are those of a Spoiler. Obviously the body shape is non-standard for a Spoiler: this one is known as the Exploiter.
 
Nice one! We'd love to see more pics on the Showcase.

Sorry these can take so long to research. It's especially frustrating when the file is AWOL. There's not much I can tell you about your bass except that it was made in December of 1985.
 
Here's what I can tell from the photo:
 
top: can't see well, probably Walnut
body: Mahogany
neck: 3-piece Maple
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: AXY
controls: volume, pickup selector, filter, Q-switch, mono output
body shape: Exploiter
 
Sorry there isn't more I can provide. I'll let you know if I ever locate the original file (they are sometimes just misfiled).
