Thanks to Spaced and Vibrating G String. Still a bit confused by the chrome pots and bridge as they were definitely on the bass when it was bought new (by a friend who has sold to me) but I can't find any photos or history anywhere else where they are not black - both the current China built and the earlier Vietnam build models seem to have black as far as I can see. Anyway - any knowledge from anyone would still be gratefully received!

Ho ho. Although you may have a point Spaced - maybe it's not attracting the attention I want for an answer!

I have recently bought a Peavey Grind 4 string bass. Does anyone know the history of these guitars? I understand that they are now made in China but I believe mine is an early model and may have been made elsewhere. The pot knobs and the tuners are chrome, as is the bridge which is not through body stringing. The fret markers are dots in the middle of the fret board. The wings are quite a dark wood compared with contemporary photographs of the mahogany winged models. There are no identifying numbers or marks visible. Any information from someone who really knows (rather than speculates!) would be very welcome.
