Bob, thanks for the kind comments!

That's a nice upgrade!

I notice I didn't mention another special feature of this bass - the cone headstock is a bit unusual. You can see it in the 3rd picture from the top.
 
It's not the current cone shape, which is wide at the bottom and also fairly wide at the top. It's not the shape found on early Spoilers either, which was narrower at the bottom. And it's definitely not the oversized pointy cone used on John Entwhistle's Exploiters. - It's pretty much the current shape, but with about 1/8 shaved off on either sides. This means that the point of the cone is not wide enough for the logo, so they've put that immediately above the nut.
 
Not sure if this was just a happy accident - it looks real nice - but it wasn't recorded on the buildsheet. I have a 1988 inspection slip signed by EVH (not Edward van Halen) in his capacity as Wils employee - no mention of the custom shape there either.
 
I'll try to post a picture later (like in two years time LOL).

Here we go ...

Hallo Adriaan,
Misschien kun je mij een keer mailen m.b.t. de
veranderde elektronika die je hebt aangebracht
in jouw Spoiler.
Mijn e-mailadres is gjmvdbeek@hetnet.nl

Wow  
 
I love both basses.  That Spoiler is exeptional.

I agree....WOW! Lucky man, enjoy!

Thoroughly enjoying their company every day, even when not playing them!
 
The Spoiler will be getting a new set of DR LoRiders this week. The Epic has had the bad fortune of getting Rotosound flats installed a months or so ago, and they really don't agree with her. Thinking of ordering some TI Jazz Flats online.

I come back to this link to view that wonderful Koa

For your viewing pleasure, near the end of this thread there's an even nicer picture of that Epic. Enjoy!
