tauzero Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Through-neck passive bass by Peavey, probably made in Vietnam. There's not an awful lot of information about them out there. Two soapbar pickups each with volume and tone control, laminated neck (I suspect maple and mahogany), body has darker facing wood (my research brings up the possibility that this is koa) and a contrasting light-coloured core wood. Were it not for the fact that the neck's a bit deeper than I like, I'd be keeping this. I've bought a Peavey Grind as back-up to replace this - I prefer the neck but the general quality of the older Zephyr seems higher. Dimensions - Scale: 34" Bridge string spacing: 16 mm Neck width (nut): 1.75" Neck width (12th fret): 2.25" Neck depth (top of 1st fret to back of neck): 22 mm Neck depth (top of 12th fret to back of neck): 25.5 mm I've used this in the studio for a few tracks which can be heard here: [url="http://www.mixedherbsband.co.uk/songs.html"]http://www.mixedherbsband.co.uk/songs.html[/url] I used this rather than the active bass I also took in because in the studio control room the active bass picked up some interference which the Peavey didn't. There's a couple of small dinks on it, nothing of any significance. Looking for £275 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 My Grind set me back £250 and this really does look like a much higher quality build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
