FlatEric Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Mr KB - Good day, Sir!! Have you actually swapped over a T-40 neck to a 45 and played it or jut tried it for fit and calculated the intonation? The frets on my 45 are shot - I have several spare necks but never even thought of trying the swap. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Good afternoon FlatEric I'm afraid it was just tried on for size but I think the saddle springs will need removed putting a 40 on a 45. edit Scratch that idea, I'm talking out my A***e. Forgot to check the string ferrules. Can't see there being enough play. Sorry to have raised your hopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding this colour and neck combo is the T40 equivalent of finding a 60s Jazz Bass in, say, lake placid blue as opposed to the ten-a-penny sunburst ones - but instead of it quadrupling the price, it's just a couple of hundred more. 650 it what it owes me from when I imported it.

ProfJames Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Peavey Zephyr C4 - any knowledge of these please? A passive Cirrus? Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Lovely through neck bass,I reckon made in Indonesia but much like the Vietnamese Grind BXP. No idea about the passive Cirrus though I've saw it on an ebay seller's spiel. Cirrus have a wide cut to the lower horn,Zephyrs don't. Cirrus have VFLs,Zephyrs don't. Cirrus have ABM bridges,Zephyrs don't.Cirrus have graphite, Zephyrs don't.Cirrus are 35" scale,Zephyrs are 34" scale. You see a pattern forming That said what is the Zephyr like ? Same flat top humbucker pickups as the Grinds, 2 volume 2 Tone, High mass bridge. Neck is slightly thicker front to back than on the Grind,I'd also say the fretboard radius was different. If I can lay my hands on my gauges I'll tell you what the radius is. My Zephyr 5 had knackered pots so as I was changing them I added a preamp. I swapped the pickups too,not that they were bad just I was souping it up so might as well stick in new pickups.. I've heard from some folks that they expected more from the pickups but that's down to personal taste/string & set up.A recent owner of a Vietnamese Grind told me they prefer the Zephyr tone but feel of the Grind. I'll admit to being a fan of the passive Grind so think highly of the Zephyr but the Zephyr is far closer to the Grind than the Cirrus. Couple of year back they were selling for £100 but a really nice 5'er sold few months back for £200.I had a few bids on that 5'er myself Upshot. Well built,great playing/looking bass with the jury out on tone. When I go looking for the gauges I'll try and dig my BXP Cirrus out,could be that's the Cirrus they mean and not the USA Cirrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Saw it. Hard to say what the "Plus" stands for. Axcelerator 5 like mine has similar spec but 35" scale and Wilkinson 3D bridge. Guess the "Plus" must stand for the slightly high mass bridge.Not too common here,bar myself I only know one other Axcelerator owner.Is it worth £375 ? That's hard to say as I'm sure you've noticed by now there's not many folk clamoring to buy Peaveys. They don't appear often so if you're collecting it's worth buying,if not then remind yourself it's over half the price of a Cirrus. You far from Newton Abbot ? The Zodiac DE on eBay is a good bass and the £180 is a good price. Only concern is I don't see the "Basslines" logo on the pickups,might have worn off but I'd be asking the seller to confirm.

ProfJames Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I can get it for under £300. Looks in mint condition. Not seen many around. Not really that bothered about the DE Zodiak. Doesn't seem to offer too much between what I already own. Could have bought a mint DE for £130 two months ago............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
