    Sweet. Bought one last year but seller had a better offer so just refunded,would've been nice if he'd told me. Ended up building one instead.

    DE Scorpios were made in China,in the same place building the bamboo wing Sarzo Cirrus. Mike Powers,Peavey old hand and head of bass design, lived over there so he could keep tabs on quality.

    Checking back to my NBD I see 10lb as the weight for the RPBX.

    I had their RPBX model, double -P jazz bass. Wouldn't say it was a lightweight but it was a very nicely put together instrument.

    Think the wee cat prefers the nylons 😀

    Both my slab builds were done in the kitchen 😀 Festive period was my free time so minimal machining was allowed. 48mm Southern Yellow Pine 10.5lb . 46mm Utile 11lb If you have Mahogany from Honduras you've won a watch. it's lighter than both timbers I used 👍

    @dan2112 The combo of blade pickup but still having the metal nut dates that sweet looking 40 between 1981 and 1982.

    Guess I knew even less about Peter than I thought 🙂

    Meant the complete opposite in the US. Items designed in the States but built overseas could be "Crafted in USA",a bit like defrosted bananas can be "EU produce" 😃 "Made in USA" meant the majority were sourced or processed in said country. There's probably a good reason FMIC use "Made in Corona". Could the tonnes of Korean parts delivered every 2 weeks have some bearing on it ?

    Peter is not a fella I know much about,even less his time with Chicago. Just mind him playing bass on TV while singing some "Broken Wings" tune.

    @Bassassin If anybody knows the way of it,it'll be you 👍

    Folks on the gear page reckon Early MIJ = export to USA Early CIJ = only for Japanese market https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/cij-vs-mij-whats-the-difference.113300/

    Buying a Westone Thunder III couple of weeks back was my sole 2020 purchase 🙂 That was until I heard Mr Konig decided to sell his Renegade 🙈🙉🙊 My renowned Iron Will crumbled after 5 minutes 😁

    @RichardD22 Glad you followed my advice regarding posting here. I thought the lads would have a better idea about your bass.

    Very restrained for Traben. Most of their "Bigger Bridge" look like the font Death Metal bands use for logos 😎
  21. kodiakblair
    All good intentions have went to hell in the 1st month 🙂 Bought a bass 2 weeks back,another yesterday teatime 😮

    It's a way to manipulate "value". If you use "sold items" in the search filters you'll see it's a fairly common practise. Fairly stupid practise when it gets you 77% feedback 😂
  23. kodiakblair
    This is mental. Had one myself few year back,surplus of 35" scale 4 strings saw me sell mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traben-Neo-Limited/114078401311?hash=item1a8f9a431f:g:3qEAAOSwlLheJ2Jb

    Elfrasho says it was his first bass amp. Perhaps he played a few amps in shop and locked the "sound" in his head ? That's a talent beyond me. Only factors I considered was being heard and what I could afford,same criteria of everybody I knew in the early 80's.
  25. kodiakblair
    What was your point of reference ? 98/98 was still quite early days so it won't have been A/B'd against YT videos. Genuinely curious here. Was it live albums or DVDs ?
