I guess it would have been around 1700 give or take but dont quote me on it. Dave Houck would no more about it thean I would. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1830 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008 - 9:10 am:    Body shape is a Vector, not an Elan. P+J Activators would be consistent with an Elan, but not the single pre-amp (one trimpot). So it's most probably a Persuader. danny_bryant Junior Username: danny_bryant Post Number: 47 Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008 - 10:23 am:    Never seen the Vector body shape. Thanks for the info. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1832 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008 - 11:16 am:    The Elan shape is more like a Jazz Bass, Vector is closer to a Precision. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6345 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 7:35 pm:    I have no idea what the original price would have been, but at the time the Persuader was the least expensive Alembic. This one is in rough shape, but I like the Flame Maple in the pictures. If I recall correctly, there have been a few posts on how to remove decals safely, if that is indeed a decal; you might want to ask the seller. The listing doesn't mention a case.
