Rimskidog Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) My EB0 thread below got a good response so I thought you guys might like to meet the brothers: From left to right then: 76 precision with geddy lee neck Warwick Infinity. This is apparently the Namm show prototype '66 Gibson EB0 modified with the addition of a jazz pickup (see more here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178454-snagged-myself-an-old-eb0/ Bass Collection 4 string modded with a badass bridge and SD quarter pounder J and P pickups Geddy Lee signature jazz and in front Alembix Spyder number 4.

gary mac Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I love the look of the Spyder, which is quite odd for me as I normally don't stray far from Precision territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Loving the spyder but it needs a few more switches and knobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) @BarnacleBob - Well I might be persuaded to part with the Spyder if you were to make me an offer I can't refuse... @Jezzaboy - you can never have too many knobs (I think it was Linda Lovelace that said that first...)

And to be fair the retail price of them on release was $18500 so they've dropped since the recession hit Edited June 10, 2012 by Rimskidog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I love the 70's P&J pair. Gorgeous. Ever thought about matching both basses pickguards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooz Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The Spyder is something which wouldn´t allow you to hide in a back-row on stage. Are you gigging with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Wow, what are the electronics in the Spyder - looks like some kind of 'Anniversary plus' - maybe even Series 1 with hidden dummy centre pickup? I love Alembic but the company seems to struggle with the concept of useable weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
