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 £299 (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.

...still here/available, despiite some positive responses; there's a 5-string (5-inline headstock) just been listed on ebay for a BIN/BO of £1200 :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285645402634?hash=item4281caf20a:g:wFgAAOSw8gJlnM~b&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwMyTWQosQt74TNtfrfoP%2FRDfXczqmgXKJN7DGWtyOT0wf2qRc316PKUZeaKSS%2FPSsCULOylgJdniufkdppE8IPdq0LxE71d5EX8epJ2xs4Yhslhm2IPVcAmlqZjHZt5bFTbp40%2Fg7UcxCw%2B5Ir4rpHV%2B52MmcR0cVTVdQT6tmprLi6dLVpMUC8LVLxXomvsy4JQmSvSgqTTRm32TOCnokA7TkN5PdmX959W6F%2FhdbodhLp9qxiRM92io3JYoTEVznQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8SfjNqdYw

did you manage to find that original bridge?.....

Schack Unique 4 Custom

9.0lbs precisely on the digital scales.

.... yes ....

dimensions (x3) & no. of 'U' (?)

... should be fine. I'd be happy to send them for you to try initially.

I think it's the way the system 'works', in that the last comment(er) remains ad infinitum (generally when a thread is 'bumped'). So I'm adding this to hopefully take up the mantle.

Fender Deluxe Active Okoume 4 string Jazz Bass.

As new. Specifications (Model Name: Jackson JS3Q Spectra IV Bass, Dark Sunburst) Pickup Switching: 2-Way Toggle Switch (Pickup Coil Split) Controls: Volume (Push/Pull Selector for Active/Passive Options), Blend, 3-Band EQ (Active Only)

I also measure them in inches - might depend upon the distance from the saddles to the bridge 'insert/s' (It's only c. 1-1.5" on a standard Fender BBoT bridge), but the E is c. 39.5" and the others 41-41.5" .... so -1.5" (bridge .... possibly) should give you about 5.5" - 7/7.5" above the nut (?) ... but headstock design/length might also be(come) a factor.

Thanks - could well be. NOTE: just amended the post details as they're from a 32" bass (not a 34"), but the c. string lengths are correct.

Taken from a 'new' (to me) bass. I won't be using them but appreciate that they're an expensive buy when new (c. £45 - 80 depending on make/brand). I had thought they might be Roto Tru Bass (?) but the gauges seem lighter at c. 50/65/85/105 (similar to D'addario version). If anyone recognises them, let me know or add to the thread. The lengths are: E (100); A (105); D (105); G (104) 2 + 2 headstock (32" scale). Includes postage :-

.. to clarify, I can confirm that this is actually (a bit of) the DR.BASS 1260 Compact Cab (3-way 300w/8-ohm) - I don't really know the Greenboy ('Fearless') F12 but there do appear to be some similarities in the specs.
