Somebody grab this please! I was super tempted by the black, single AXY Persuader that just went on eBay.

" Do you know if this is true? longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 515 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, May 08, 2015 - 8:26 pm:    It was in great condition when I sold it in 2007. But that's the last time I've seen it. alembicfan Intermediate Member Username: alembicfan Post Number: 104 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 09, 2015 - 4:18 am:    Wow... what a Beauty.... enzo Senior Member Username: enzo Post Number: 480 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2015 - 3:48 pm:    Bill, was it really 34" scale? longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 516 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2015 - 7:20 pm:    32" yggdrasil Intermediate Member Username: yggdrasil Post Number: 192 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 - 11:08 am:    the current seller replied to me: "Absolutely 34" scale length." adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3236 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 - 2:47 pm:    Bridge and tailpiece do appear to be set a bit further back than on a regular Spoiler. As always, best way is to measure from the inside of the top nut to the top of the 12th fret, then times two. mikey New Username: mikey Post Number: 1 Registered: 7-2015 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2015 - 5:31 pm:    I bought that sucker! But more excitingly, I'm officially part of the club. I've been stalking these boards for, like, 4 years. The community here is incredibly informative and helpful. So thanks for spotting this beast on Reverb. I wanted to make sure it was a 34 too so I did some snooping and found this. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/alembic-persuader.369208/ & http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=377659 Thanks again :-) edwardofhuncote Senior Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 424 Registered: 6-2014 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2015 - 5:57 pm:    Welcome Mike! You got a nice bass there, (a couple of them actually) and in a rare finish.
