I seem to recognize that body. Had a chip in the upper left between horn and neck pocket? Paired with an offset bridge strap pin?

No chips, but the bridge strap-pin is offset.This is how the body looked earlier today:

Reynold wrap could work as shielding. If you could only solder to it. Try that one day if youve forgotten how to curse.

IF you went this route, dont bother trying to solder to it. The glue within place ams is a flat washer (vs the tooth washer as it may cut through) to use the pots to make the electrical connection. It's not ideal, but it would work.
The adhesive-back copper tape is better

Not sure if this will be the final mix, as some guitar needs to get redone, but everything else is pretty much where we want it. Again, this is on a Cirrus bolt 5, but with about a 50/50 split on the pickups, more towards the hi-mids on the mid sweep, and played with a pick.

Btw, our guitarist's dad did rhythm guitar and most of the vocals on this, and he's a 76 year-old cancer survivor!

Yep, it was mine before.
It was a -literal- barn find in KY.
Took me a considerable amount of work, but it was worth it. Sadly 35" is just not for me.
I am not that expert in Peavey but did they ever had a B-Stock program?

Always loved that green sparkle...it pops, but nothing ridiculous. Don't know about a b-stock deal, though...maybe for employees....

What did you need to do to it?
Click to expand...
If you look at the preamp 3 of the "spider pots" (I think all except the Bass) are NOS that I managed to buy from a guy on a Peavey group on FB. That in itself was already a challenge.
The bass was unused possibly for years, and I had to do a VERY deep clean. Most metal parts were in need of a bit of rust removal.
I shielded both pickup and electronics cavity.
Cleaned and polished fretboard (very dry) and frets (very tarnished).
