solo4652 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Hi, I'm still searching for a half-decent P/J bass. The G&L SB-2 is a possibility. I've just come across this: [url="http://www.jbsmusic.co.uk/view/1517/"]http://www.jbsmusic.co.uk/view/1517/[/url] Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpio with solid alder body and Seymour Duncan quarter pounders. New for £214, including delivery. I'm a bit of a fan of Peaveys - I have an '87 Fury which is a storming J bass. All opinions of the Zodiac DE scorpio gratefully received. Thanks, Steve Edited December 10, 2008 by solo4652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears not to have the S/D Quarter Pounders, however, which surely would be pretty desirable over the stock Peavey pups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Never believe what's on a website! I rang them. Price is £290 with Seymour Duncan quarter-pounders, £214 with stock Peavey pups. [i]Thought[/i] it looked a good deal... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan_da_man Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 That's odd...maybe they've discontinued it because a lot of sites don't sell them anymore and / or upped the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulfinger Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ok, if you´re still looking for a P/J, let me recommend the Yamaha BB414. Quality bass, excellent sound and workmanship. Much better than"half decent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold it when I bought my Tokai Hardpuncher P-bass. Actually, I'm having some 1970's Fender pups put into the Tokai in an effort to move it a little more towards a J tone, while retaining it's P bottom.

MacDaddy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is this the one designed by Dave Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth)? He designed it, but doesn't use it. So if it's not good enough for him, it's not good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
