U.S. Peavey Club

I "believe" he can pull it off.... technically it's not that tough for a passionate winder --- good thing is he could figure out how to remove the muddy characteristics if you wanted.

I'd have to bring your blade to him and ask.
Thanks for the heads up. From what I’ve seen, getting it rewound would be around if not more than the cost of just getting a working unit (when they pop up), so I’m gonna keep my line out there, but thanks again.
 
This ha been getting a lot of playing time again,still a hard bass to put down :thumbsup::cool:.

Finally got my Sarzo back from the shop. A bargain purchase turned into an expensive pain in the ass. Turned out great in the end. Every fret needed glue and reset, obviously followed by leveling and polish. Very slight hump was worked out. I received and installed a Bartolini preamp to replace the toasted stock preamp, which I was aware of. What I wasn’t told at purchase was that every pot was damaged by forcing new incorrectly sized knobs on. It’s done, it plays and sounds great, and l’m happy.

I always thought the Sarzo was the best looking bass that Peavey made. :cool::drool:.

The Sarzo's are intriguing to me, yours looks really nice, must play great now after the once over. How do you like it? They seem to get mixed reviews...?
What's the other bass in the picture?

Cheers!

Thanks. Really liking it. A lot. Plays incredibly. Sounded really good passive but I’m enjoying the Bartolini pre. I hear the stock preamp sounds a bit “dated” and that I’m not missing much but I would’ve like a stock preamp. I tend to like things stock.

The other bass is a ‘83 Aria SB R60.
