https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226062469243 ".... all original condition aside from one nut that is black one one of the tuners, you probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't mention it. Judging by serial number stamped on the neck plate, it is from October 1988, made in Korea...." Is that (all) correct? ... the ones I've seen previously all had 'westone' (or 'W') branded neckplates & tuners, the knobs were always brass ... and not seen a bridge like this one before.... (?)

Okoume (Aucoumea klaineana) Common Name(s): Okoume, gabon Scientific Name: Aucoumea klaineana Distribution: Central Africa (primarily Gabon) The grain patterns can bear a resemblance to mahogany, and one of okoume’s lesser-used commercial names is Gaboon mahogany, though it bears no relation to either .... species is not listed in the CITES Appendices ..... Sometimes simply called gabon or gaboon (not to be confused with Gaboon ebony), the wood is commercially important in the country of Gabon, where it’s the principle timber species.

Peavey Rudy Sarzo fretless 4. Unique, modified.I bought this Peavey 'Rudy Sarzo' ( PV's flagship bass in the late 80's) as a project several years ago but have only recently reconfigured it. It has the original flame maple neck through-body, with nicely figured ash wings (walnut stringers). It was originally finished in the standard maroon stain (translucent) as can still be seen on the lower part of the scalloped headstock ('Sarzo' & 'Peavey') but was stripped off to reveal the quite exotic body woods. The original Peavey gold tuners and Schaller roller 3 way gold adjustable bridge have been replaced (over time) with black tuners (gotoh-type) and quick-release/change bridge (black). It had previous luthier (Thomas Handley) work in fitting a replacement flame maple fretless board to match the body along with the truss rod cover in flame maple. The red & black dot markers are somewhat ott and initially quite confusing, but the black dots denote 'fretline' points and the red dots the usual dot placements on a std. bass. Its been routed for different pickups over the years but currenty fitted are a pair of generic MM type. The electrics had been reduced to a simple Vol-Vol-Tone but I've fitted a simple active (9v) circuit which now has: Volume, Pan (between pickups), and 3EQ (Bass, Mids, Treble boost). Rudy Sarzo (who featured in the God Bless Ozzy Osborne documentary) is is a Cuban American hard rock/heavy metal bassist, best known for his work with Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, and Whitesnake. I have lots of 'build' photos and have included 2 (final 2) photos of the bass as it would have been originally c. 35 years ago. Really tricky instrument in terms of 'value' (it would have been expensive back in the day) ..... now reduced to £399 (plus postage if required)

See photos. Acquired as part of a 'bitsa' bass. Not sure of the body make / origin but it's nicely finished and the neck pocket (63mm wide x 85mm 'length' x 18mm D) will accomodate a standard F-type neck. Body (complete weighs c.6.5lbs) will take a standard J s/plate and bell-plate (photo) but may need some adjustment/s for this. The current plates fit fine and look to have been refinished to fit. The bass played fine with both pickups (unsure of make/age) clear & strong. Upgrade bridge (can be replaced with a more std. F' type if preferred) with individual routs per string. Price includes P & P.

agree totally - that's why it's there (with the bass). It was working fine when the bass was dismantled & refurbished. Possibly an easy re-install for somebody confident / knowledgeable with electronics; I just didn't want to risk when unfortunately the photos I'd taken didn't adequately show all the correct connections.

I think it was always 6750 on ebay ... but with the 'make offer' option; so useful if you know it was listed at £5200 on GT (?). Possibly worth a visit for somebody in the Bedford (collection-only) area.............
