U.S. Peavey Club

I guess I’m gonna need someone who can build me a neck for this grind

can anybody point me in the right direction?
Mark Garza is FAST. He can have an entire custom bass built for you in 4 months, so a neck is no problem. He's made many necks for friends of mine. He also runs the Lighwave custom shop.

I also own a Garz bass, and it's killer. He's made me a few over the years.

You can buy Peavey decals from this Canadian eBay seller.

Man! You were reading my mind! I was just sitting here thinking how I'd love to have my Axcelerator 5 repainted and have a matching headstock but was worried about where to get a decal! Thanks Kodiak!

So I got the Steath Palaedium back from Andrew Drake today. Wow, he does great work. The bass was bright red and the previous owner had done a hack fretless conversion.
Andrew patched up the ebony fingerboard, installed mandolin frets, and refinished the bass and headstock in a cool matte black.
He also added Luminlay side markers, a high-mass Klusson bridge, and a fingerboard ramp and truss rod cover made of Richlite.

At the end of the day, it wasn’t cheap, but it was still a bargain for a killer bass like this.

Sorry for the less than stellar pictures. This matte finish is hard to photograph with house lights.

WOW !!! Truly a work of art. From what it was to what it is, seems like a different bass, altogether. Seems like a new bass !!!
