That tends to be true for the Persuader model, but different models and different eras rely on other characteristics as far as the naming goes. The ability to customize leads to some confusing hybrids.
For example, I own a bass that looks like a Stanley Clarke model, but has Europa electonics in it. The bass has a serial number that characterizes it as an Essence. Huh? you say? Well, it was ordered as an Essence with the body and scale adjusted to match an SC and the electonics upgraded to include the quick tone change switches. In that era, it was possible to order it this way and save a lot of money over ordering the same specs and calling it an SC, Rogue, or Europa model. I think Alembic has cleaned up most of that so that ordering a lower-end bass with a bunch of upgrades is no longer a bargain over just ordering the model that includes those features.
At times, Alembic will put a C designation in the serial number indicating a a customization that doesn't match any particular model.
