Title: Gorgeous 1988 Persuader with cocobolo on Reverb

No affiliation, and as mentioned before, the prices of new 2023 basses made in China and Canada are fetching nearly the same price after fees, sometimes more !

That's some tasty Burl Walnut. The EMGs can be replaced, and adding a Pan Preamp will help getting the J heard against the P.

I agree. Considering how much OEM Activators went up this year they need to drop $1500-2000 off the price before I would think about buying it.
