Up for sale in the shop is a 1987 Alembic Persuader. Of all the Alembics that have been or are still in production, the Persuader might be our favorite. Well balanced, full access to the bottom of the fretboard, and a simple but remarkably flexible preamp. Also remarkable is the condition of this bass. Nearly 40 years old it has minimal patina and very few signs  buckle rash, dings, or nicks. A killer bass from the original exotic bass builders from Santa Rosa, CA. This one comes to you with its original hardshell case and a fully professional setup from our in house tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
