1988 Alembic Persuader PMSB-5 5-string Bass signed by Stanley,Victor,Marcus,etc.

 

What kinda offer do you think guys?

 

Hes asking 6-7 k US dollars.

 

It’s in mint condition and signed by some serious legends .

I wouldn't put any value whatsoever in the bass being signed by "serious legends."

 

If you are seriously interested in this bass I would do a bit (a lot) of due-diligence on Alembic Persuader basses, specifically the five string version. I remember the 4 string Persuader was a 32 inch scale, and that scale might not work so well on a five. Check the specs regarding that and also the weight of the bass. A five string Alembic could well be pretty heavy.

 

Alembics  basses are notoriously idiosyncratic, and though they sound wonderful are not always particularly user-friendly so if you've got that kind of money to spend proceed carefully. There's a lot of nice basses out there for that kind of cash.

I concur with Misdee.

 

I previously owned a four string Persuader, and as nice as it was I would expect an Alembic from much higher up the food chain for the asking price quoted. 

 

The signatures add minimal value in my view.

Definitely wouldn't pay late seventies Series I money for what was a basic model originally in Alembic's line up.
