Another very nice Persuader, in as many days. They are a little bit off describing the pickup, but I'm guessing they just read some ad copy and assumed all Alembics had the same pickups. (this bass should have a single AXY, and not a "SB II silent single coil... we all know that) I think it's just an honest misinterpretation rather rather an intentional mislead.


I must confess, sometimes I would love to have a single pickup Alembic. Not necessarily a Spoiler/Persuader body and definitely not piano black. 

If I was to have a single pickup alembic it would suit me to have a neck pickup as that is what I use mostly. I've always preferred the natural wood finish of alembics over the solid colour finish. That said i love the way my black europa sounds so whilst in the past I considered having it stripped back to it's flame maple top, that is not happening anytime soon. It looks. really smart.

Yeah, I've been drooling over that one. Something about black Alembics with chrome hardware gets me goin!
