driffer Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi I am new to the forum and wondered if anybody has any idea about the age and maker of a bass I have.it looks to be quite old possibly 80s/90s,made of beautiful solid woods and to me sounds great.there is no sign of maker on the headstock or in the body cavities.Any help would be very much appreciated.

tom1946 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Is this the one on ebay? If so it's home made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nice looker, whoever made it. Looks like the fit and finish is quality too. Reminds me of an upmarket Peavey, although it isn't one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 From the same origin as the Peavey Zephyr/Grind ranges I'd say - I have a Zephyr C5 & the body/neck shape & laminations are pretty much identical, really only the headstock's different. Here's one - see what you think: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63842"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63842[/url] Age-wise it'll be 90s/early 00s and probably Korean-made.

Does look like a home-brew, albeit a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon.[/quote] That's what i thought it looked like, i think the OP's looks a bit nicer though and the sculpting around the body edges is a nice touch. I seem to remember the Peavey didn't have the rounded edges although i could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So, what does [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1980s-1990s-ACTIVE-BASS-SUPERB-QUALITY-WOODS-L-K-/160561285830"]"L@@K"[/url] mean? I've always wondered. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
