This is a re-post of my Peavey Sarzo...and now adding my ABC Stingray 5!
First, the Sarzo!
Specs:
34" Scale
24 Frets
1-9/16" Brass Nut
2 Peavey "Wide-Aperature Ceramics" Humbuckers
Ash body w/ neck-thru construction
5-piece maple neck w/ Purpleheart stringers
Ebony Fretboard w/ Pearl "Cat-eye" inlays
3-band active preamp w/ Passive/active switch
Gold Schaller Roller Bridge
This thing sounds like a beast and can create a wide variety of tones. It also plays very well with a straight neck, low action, and a newer set of D'Addario ProSteels (EPS165).
I call it an 8.5 because there are a couple of dings and chips and it does not have the original knobs for the preamp. All of these are in the pictures. Also, the past owner installed a "custom" battery cover. Overall though, no fret wear and it looks fabulous. The red gloss finish is just breathtaking. SOLD!!!     
Now, the ABC Stingray 5
Specs:
34" Scale
Maple neck w/ Maple Fretboard
22 frets
Nordstrand 5.2 Humbucker
SGD Vintage Stingray Preamp
Hipshot Tuners
Set-in StrapLok pegs
This thing is awesome! It began it's life as an OLP MM3, but then user Syco_Bass made it into one of his custom ABC basses. He gave the neck his usual treatment which makes it the best neck I have ever played. He levelled, crowned, and polished the frets along with rounding the fretboard edges. The back has a poly-oil satin finish and is FAST! Along with the electronics and hardware, this thing is amazing. 9/10 condition just for some scuff marks. PRICE=$500 $450 $400 Shipped

The ABC is going now because I just got another five string that works better for what I'm playing and I really need the money. It is by no way a knock on the bass. It is a fantastic bass that really reproduces that vintage Stingray sound.

As for questions: sorry cash only and the Sarzo feels about 9.5 lbs., but I will do an official weigh-in.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: Chicago, IL | | | 16.5 mm at the bridge. So this thing plays lightning fast, but you are still able to slap it if you need.
