I just purchased this Persuader from the Guitar Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It should arrive home by Wednesday of next week.  
I wonder if any of our members owned it in the past and can tell me about it. If there are any members who have owned one like it, I would like to hear what you have to say.  
I do plan on posting an information request later.
 
It is a 1990 SN: 90 P6040.  
 
Thanks in advance.

Congrats Bill,
 
Very inspiring,
 I've been thinking about a 6 string Alembic more than  I probably should   ,
 
Enjoy,
Elwood

Thanks Elwood.
The bass was for up for sale about 2 weeks and I finally called on it yesterday and was informed it had been sold. The manager called me today and told me the guy returned it because the neck was too wide.

That looks kewl!!!

Elwood...
I have an Essence birds eye maple 6er I may consider selling  Give me a e mail if your interested.
Steve

Oh  excuse me Bill,
Very nice looking 6er!
 
Steve

Thanks Steve. Can't wait to get it home. Art sent me a link with info it: http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/394/43557.html
It should be a great companion to the MK5.

It is home now. This is one Saweeet Beast!
 
 

I do need info on the electronics:

 

My name is Bill and I am an Alembicholic. I see  no cure for my addiction in the near future.

This is not a plea for help.

That is a BIG bodied bass.  I dig it!
 
The FAQ on Persuader basses says normal controls are Volume, Volume, Filter- which would fit with the knobs you're seeing there.  Does that not jive with what you're hearing?

Toby,
It appears you are right. I read in a previous thread that a prior owner was think of a mod for volume, blend. It looks like thatdid not happen. I only played it with everything maxed out. Sounds awesome either way. The low pass filter really dials the tone in for me. I had to make a few adjustments to the amp to smooth it out. Thanks for the input.

There's nothing like a Six String Alembic!!!
Here's me with mine, in action:
 

 
Btw, congrats on the Six!!!  And the MK 5 is no slouch, either!!!
