Since there was a complete lack of persuader images, and I had stubled across a nice image on ebay, I thought I would share. This is not my bass but it is for sale, it should still be up for acution a little more than a day. enjoy!

serial number 86P3883

Well it took a while and the light is shinning a bit too much in one photo but here's my Persuader. I replaced the black knobs with brass ones. Since the pick-ups were yellow I thought it fit better.

Great looking quilts indeed. The light pickups, brass knobs and amber look to the maple combine for an exotic look.
Your bass has a Vector style body. I don't know what year they were introduced, but they went by the name Fender-style as well (for obvious reasons - in comparison to other Alembic styles.).
There have been several threads which discussed the Vector body. I've seen Vector/Spoilers (I owned one - see http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/5426.html?1059921530 if interested), a couple Persuaders and even a Vector S2. This thread includes some old brochures Mica posted that show some examples of the Vectors Alembic marketed: http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/3491.html .
