"This high-end bass includes active electronics, two pickups, and a 3-band EQ for versatile sound shaping. With a 34" scale length"

It does have a P pickup (which consist of two pickups) but I wonder how a 3-band EQ would work with two knobs...  ::)
Could be 34 inch, but with Persuaders and Spoilers from that time I would expect 32 inch scale length.


Nice one!

Maybe a Vector??

Edit:
Found it, knew it looked familiar. Yep, persuader Vector (Persuader Vector with a single P-bass type pickup)

Well, it was a GC salesman who told me "I checked the computer [looking for an M-36], and all Martin models start with 'D'".

Well... I just feel like being obtuse. I rather like it.

A maple top on mahogany body checks two of my favorite boxes, and the P activator is monstrous by itself. There's a lot of allure in a nice, simple Volume/Filter setup too. I do think it's a bit overpriced for what you get but I would absolutely love to have one. Particularly if it were medium-scale.

If they came down a few bills, and I had a need in the world for a 6th Alembic... well, this could easily be my huckleberry.

I love it. Volume and filter. Perfect for P Bass stuff and road ready. I also like the Vector body shape.
