    Had my bucket list Vigiers and Tune Maniac a couple of year 🙂 Still mostly found playing the £76 Harley Benton PB-50😮

    I bought 60mm long neo bar magnets from Ali-Ex. Still never got round to trying them,but my plan was leave the old ones in place.

    I had 2 Zodiac DE Scorpios. 1 had the stock Duncan QPs, the other got Entwistle Neos. Bloody hell they were loud 😀 Duncans were like a church mouse compared to them 👍

    This "snakewood" Lobe is a lovely example of a Wishbass. Spend some time on finishing and you get a fantastic results.

    Aye he tends to stick within his comfort zone and the limitations of the tools at hand. Better that than taking your money then not pulling it off.

    Guy has owned the bass 18 years,obviously it's not an issue 👍 You should,Steve's bass ooze character. Writes a good book too, "How Hippies Ruin't Hillbilly Music " covers the whole living of the grid (landies) scene he was part of. Stills,shine,hash pipes,mad fiddle players with crazy names. It's a fun read 😀 Don't leave contacting him too long,must be in his mid 70's now.

    You're welcome Craig. Scorpio DE was one of the many Peaveys I've owned,bloody good bass 🙂 With Mike over there it's no surprise they were quality. He spent some time with Dan Erlewine before his 30 years with Peavey. Sadly he passed away in 2013 and it's telling that Peavey haven't released a new bass design since then ☹️ The Zodiac isn't one of Mike's designs,it's down to another long term Peavey fella ,Tim Litchfield. Anyway,enough of the history lesson. GLWTS 👍

    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.
  14. kodiakblair
    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 👍

    Pretty sure this one of mine is 83.

    @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/
