Hello I bought this Persuader 2 years ago in Thailand, brought it in Switzerland and now in Canada. The day I bought it, it was stored in a very humid place and the fingerboard was looking like a rotten root (not kidding). Now it looks fine but I think the neck has suffered. Is there a way to fix it? I'm using this bass at this time and it sounds great but I can't lower the strings without having a buzz on the "D" fret on the G string side (I tune my basses since 1999). And do you have any history for this bass? Thank you  | ||

Hi Alex, Found the file for your bass. Besides the build record, there is no other ownership history for this instrument. top: Walnut body: Mahogany through-body neck: 3-piece Maple, 32" medium scale fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid inlays pickups: Alembic PJZ controls: 2 vol 1 filter, mono output birthday: April 22, 1988 originally made for: KCM Thailand If you have one fret that is causing a buzz, then it's likely limited to a fret being too high. From your description of the fingerboard, it sounds likely that a fret could be too high with the board swelled up from humidity. | ||

Thank you for the information! I was just running through some old posts of mine and saw your reply (5 years later!). So basically it was made for a Thai TV channel of some sort? Tried to google it but ended up watching some weird music videos... Here are the last pictures I had from the bass before selling it to a private customer in May 2011. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/132093-sold/page__p__1209931__hl__alembic%20persuader__fromsearch__1#entry1209931 My last gig with it:  |
