Mica,

It's back Jack, do it again. Just talked myself into another Persuader since it's a P/J & my first is a J/J. You were spot on about the bridge J being on the quiet side. I'll be contacting you soon about the suggested electronics upgrade.

I'm thinking that another hidden plus with Alembics is that their owners take care of them. My '75 pawn shop Precision, not so much.   

Hi Paul,

Here's the details from the file (pretty much what we expected on the phone):

top: Coco Bolo
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple
scale: 32" medium
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: Alembic JJ
controls: 2 volume, 1 filter, mono output
originally sold to: Friendly River Music
birthday: October 19,1987

Nothing else to report.

Yeah, I pretty much see used Alembics that look like they were never played or they are beat to hell - very little in between
