Photos of my Alembic Persuader in Coco Bolo (I guess) and PJ Pickups. This is the Bass that I would like to exchange/trade against an Alembic with Soap Bar Pickups, either a Persuader, Spoiler, Stanley Clarke type or who knows... So, if you are interested, please let me know.

I am going to upload four photos in total, one of them will have the Persuader next to my Aria SB (American vs Japanese;)), I like both equally, but will consider trading the Aria as well as the Persuader for the right Alembic. Feedback welcome;) Thanks, LG

Last photo, sorry about the quality, I don't have a great camera and it took me a lot of shots to end up with those four half decent pictures.

Thanks again Dave and thanks Gary.

Gary the information that I have from the horses mouth is that my persuader is a Bocate top and not coco-bolo! Yours looks like the same top to me, have you requested details from Mica? John.

Bocate, wow that's some serious Coco looking Bocate! I would be interested in hearing what Mica finds out about it. The previous owner did a serial number request on mine, it is in fact Coco headstock and top laminate. The link is here: http://club.alembic.com/Images/394/24376.html

Take care, Gary

Thanks for the link Gary, thats very interesting! The previous owner of my Persuader also carried out a serial number request and it came back as a Bocate top despite my own belief that it was Coco-bolo!

This is a bit of a mystery now. Both of our Persuaders would appear to have the same top but Mica has said that yours is Coco and mine is Bocate!!! I have submitted another serial number request and hope Mica can clarify exactly what type of top my Bass features!

Best regards, John.

That serial number request is for 86P4000, which is a different instrument from yours. There have been other basses posted here with bocate that looked a lot like cocobolo.

I know Adriaan, it is a different link than John's Presuader. The link for the 86P4000 serial number request is actually my Persuader. I showed the link to compare the top woods and how similiar they look. It very well could be Bocate, regardless it is gorgeous but I would be interested to know if Bocate is that close in grain and color to Coco Bolo.

Thanks, Gary

Here is the link to my Persuader history request which was carried out by the previous owner;

I have requested another hisory check because the original also states different controls.
