Photos of my Alembic Persuader in Coco Bolo (I guess) and PJ Pickups. This is the Bass that I would like to exchange/trade against an Alembic with Soap Bar Pickups, either a Persuader, Spoiler, Stanley Clarke type or who knows... So, if you are interested, please let me know. I am going to upload four photos in total, one of them will have the Persuader next to my Aria SB (American vs Japanese;)), I like both equally, but will consider trading the Aria as well as the Persuader for the right Alembic. Feedback welcome;) Thanks, LG  | ||

Last photo, sorry about the quality, I don't have a great camera and it took me a lot of shots to end up with those four half decent pictures. My Persuader's Head;  | ||

Thanks again Dave and thanks Gary. Gary the information that I have from "the horses mouth" is that my persuader is a Bocate top and not coco-bolo! Yours looks like the same top to me, have you requested details from Mica? John. | ||

Bocate, wow that's some serious Coco looking Bocate! I would be interested in hearing what Mica finds out about it. The previous owner did a serial number request on mine, it is in fact Coco headstock and top laminate. The link is here: http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/24376.html Take care, Gary | ||

Thanks for the link Gary, thats very interesting! The previous owner of my Persuader also carried out a serial number request and it came back as a Bocate top despite my own belief that it was Coco-bolo! This is a bit of a mystery now. Both of our Persuaders would appear to have the same top but Mica has said that yours is Coco and mine is Bocate!!! I have submitted another serial number request and hope Mica can clarify exactly what type of top my Bass features! Best regards, John. | ||

That serial number request is for 86P4000, which is a different instrument from yours. There have been other basses posted here with bocate that looked a lot like cocobolo. | ||

I know Adriaan, it is a different link than John's Presuader. The link for the 86P4000 serial number request is actually my Persuader. I showed the link to compare the top woods and how similiar they look. It very well could be Bocate, regardless it is gorgeous but I would be interested to know if Bocate is that close in grain and color to Coco Bolo. Thanks, Gary | ||

Here is the link to my Persuader history request which was carried out by the previous owner; http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/28113.html I have requested another hisory check because the original also states different controls. John |
