Hope it's an easy one too Dunc The Westone Thunders always sounded great when Henry Thomas was playing them. Gotta say I like the noise I get from my old Concord and the short scale Thunder I threw together. I'm sure it'll be a doddle to fix and it'll be playing in jig time.

I've noticed quite a few Bentons being split. There's 3 jazz necks and 4 bodys for sale on ebay.de just now

Cheeky. Black sparkle doesn't bother me. Collection only and 1st time seller do. After the last fiasco with organising a courier I haven't the guts to even ask the seller. From what I can gather and from a biased point of view. Damn Fine Bass. If there was a courier I'd go for it. Yeah no surprises there. But here's why " Poor man'Modulus" carbon fibre neck,35" scale through slightly different fret spacing and moving the bridge not sticking a massive neck on it. Cirrus/Millennium pre-amp and VFL pickup.Why 4 knobs for a humbucker ? What magic has Peavey done ? Damn I just asked the question. Black sparkle who cares After reining in my imagination while trying to get some kip Volume,Bass,Mid and Treble is of course the answer Made nearly £200 which is an good price. How much does a carbon-fibre neck cost these days ?

Does mess with the eyes a bit. Can't say it's a bad price though,cheaper than some Fenders and probably a damn sight better. The back of the neck looks fantastic.

Wow that is shiny

Neck looks great but the Westone body looks better. Many goodies hiding under that minty green freshness. All in all though it looks great and I'll bet plays and sounds it too. Cracking job.

Definitely looks the same as mines AT

Happy Jack it shouldn't be that heavy, probably around 10 lbs same as the Foundation 5s. Had another look at it though and not for me.Real problem is it's not a Dyna bass or a Unity. It's a International so made in Korea, the newer models have " Handcrafted in Indonesia " on the back of the headstock which doesn't have. It plainly states it's an International whereas Dyna basses will have " Made in America " on the headstock.You'd be better off looking for a Millennium AC 5 string at that price point. Nice bass but kinda over-priced,my International 4 string was £65. AT I'm on to the subs now well I will be by the end of the month,there's a T-20 and a Patriot on the way from the State but I've not fitted the pickups to the Zodiac DE yet so no photos or thoughts till that's done.

Oh I'm keeping an eye on it but fives ain't really my thing either. Meanwhile there's a whole lot of Peavey goodness on the way to the blair's den

414 is the one I had in mind Beer. Just erring on the side of caution though so I didn't link it either. Pretty certain that certain manufacturer is aware of it but it must be kosher or it wouldn't be for sale.

I've seen and heard dobro or resonator guitars before just never a bass one. Nothing unusual in that only found out what a saxo bajo was a few months back.

Saw them a couple of weeks back. Like most things I've no idea what it's used for I know the bass that can't be mentioned AT. One will be ordered this week,must be about the only style of bass I haven't tried

I wondered about that. Never saw that it'd been sold though just thought it was relisted at the BIN price. Out and out fake.

Was the highest bidder till 5 seconds to go. While frantically trying to up my max again it ended. Not taking that chance again so I ordered a T 20 from the States. Methinks the days of mega cheap USA Peaveys are numbered. Still cheap though,did a search to see what was available for the cost of the T 20 + shipping, no brainer 30 year old Peavey against entry level Squier,Corts and Ibanez. Pictures when it gets here.

Paul's Peavey Zodiac DE body just arrived. Absolutely mint as described. Top man to deal with. Thanks Paul.

That Thunder is nice, 9 bids and 6 days to go, can see that doubling at least.

Finally got round to posting a photo. But there's another 2 on the way. [attachment=172938:Pride of Peaveys (1).jpg]

Have you tried plucking with the pad of your thumb. Now that's Old School Monk Montgomery style. 30 years of chapping nails in and busting fingers has left my hands kinda beat up so when the knuckles tighten up I just pluck with my thumb. Like the others have said there's no rules set in stone.

Best reason I ever heard Mornats Mines is from 88 also in pearl white. Would never part with it,got it here as I type. Great basses back then, great basses still.

Sharkfinger's on to something there. Few months back a lad in Paisley was selling an unbranded fretless on ebay starting at £50,no takers. Re-listed it the next week £150. 3 bids 1st day. Folks are so wrapped up with fashion and brand names they're like sheep ready for a fleecing.

Hey Chris I was wondering about those Entwistles as I've got Thunderbird's Zodiac DE body coming this week. As you're a man who knows his Peaveys, I'll be wondering no more. Neos it is

Try this outfit for the DIY approach. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Acrylic-Perspex-Plastic-Sheet-Custom-Sizes-2mm-6mm-Thick-Material-/200980451609?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=500196578712&hash=item2ecb5e5119 And this fella says he'll refund if it don't fit,just leave the plastic on it until you're 100% sure. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEAR-SCRATCHPLATE-PICKGUARD-FOR-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-NEW-/151424450432?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item234199bf80

Happy to bounce ideas around. When you said put a sticker on top that's when I remembered the scratchplate idea. Hey even faux leather on a Sunday ain't easy. Got strange looks in the dressmakers shop too

Cheers AT There might be one or two other irons in the fire. Wish me luck.

I was after an original Bass Maniac back in the 80's. It was a white fretless with extended board and piezo [attachment=172842:Tune_fretless_Bass.jpg] Years have gone but I've never seen one so earlier this year when I saw one on ebay I got it, TBW-4Z,. Not made any more and I think it's Korean. But just so I can show it off here it is, damn good bass if I may be so bold. [attachment=172847:IMAG0219.jpg]
