I picked up this sweet bass last year and was wondering if there is any history on it? Thanks for the support. :-)

You did see this post and picture from 2007:

Yes, it's like looking a picture of my girlfriend kissing some other guy. Anyone have any idea what wood these black spoilers are made from? SOB is heavy!

A wide strap, possibly padded, can help relieve the pressure on your shoulder. IIRC, the solid finish basses are usually solid mahogany.
 
Get Spoiled!

Painted Spoilers were made of Maple, not Mahogany.
There are a few threads here were you can see one stripped of it's finish.

All maple? I'd love to know 100% if this was true.

Hi Bobby, welcome to the board!  When Mica has a chance to pull your build card, that should tell us the makeup of your bass.

Most solid black Spoilers and Distillate basses were made for solid Maple body wings. But I will confirm when I get to this record.

Here's what I found in the instrument file:
 
SMB4 Spoiler 4-string Bass
 
body: Solid Maple
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 32 medium
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
body shape: Spoiler
peghead shape: Cone
finish: Opaque Black
pickups: AXY
controls: Spoiler volume, filter, 2-position Q switch, 4-position rotary pickup selector switch, mono output
originally made for: Music Workshop
birthday: Not recorded, but likely November 1988

Belated thanks for the info Mica!


And I still own this bass! It is a crown jewel in my collection. None blacker than a black Alembic.
