This is Clyde. We met on Ebay a few years ago. Mica gave me this info on the build. 86P3842 PMB4 Persuader bass top: Walnut body: Mahogany through body neck: 3-piece Maple, 32" medium scale fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid oval inlays pickups: 2 Alembic JZ controls: volume x2, filter, mono output birthday: January 7, 1986 originally made for: Sound City The original owner was in Louisiana. It was registered to a second owner in TX in 2004. I got it from a guy in Idaho in 2007, and it now resides in Virginia. Somewhere along the way someone removed a volume pot and added a blend knob.      (Message edited by shae on December 01, 2009) (Message edited by shae on December 01, 2009) | ||

Looking at your pickups im wondering does this bass have that jazz bass sound? | ||

it has the that Alembic sound  All kidding aside, I had a Fender Jazz and this is not even in the same catagory. Depending on the blend and filter it has a wide array of sounds like all Alembics. The only drawback I would say is having a narrower magnetic field your a bit limited, but on the positive side having 2 jz's is more balanced than a p and j with the p much hotter. I use flats so it does help with that jazz sound when I'm looking for that. It would be fun to have this bass fretless. I have an old 371 Acoustic setup, and I can only think of Jaco on steriods. | ||
