3rd generation....$150 to $200 max depending on condition.
Underrated, very good bass. Quality of components was beginning to drop off at this time but these are solid, well built and very playable basses.

I think this is the right place to ask - anyone know what's the wood combo in a '92 Rudy Sarzo model? I sort of went and bought one of these on a whim, because it was pretty cheap (mainly because it was modded fretless + some other "enhacements", I'll show you pics when I get it).
The main part is maple, but are those laminates purpleheart or rosewood? And what about the body wings, maple as well?

The stringers through the body and neck are purpleheart. If the paint is translucent, the wings are most likely maple.
Cats....the current bane of my existence! Business trip last week, office door left open...big mistake. Cats play with anything small left in the open....today I try to attack the Patriot truss rod again with my new (old) Weller soldering iron. The truss rod wrench is nowhere to be found. Then I notice the truss rod cover on the floor beside my desk. But where is the screw? Finally located that under some papers on my desk. But still no wrench. I should know better. Project back on hold.
Thank you for the knowledge! Makes sense they did a LCR, the T45 uses one and I love my Q Filter on my T45 tribute (made from an Ibanez RB630 I have posted here before). Tuned my Q filter around 500Hz and it's perfect.
Those 80s preamps are not as efficient with power draw, it seems. Peavey's Dyna manual recommends changing the battery every 6 months or 80-100 hours use. I have had EMGs go hundreds of hours and 3-4 years before the battery dropped to 8V or so. The preamp in my '97 Jazz V and the '03 East pre in my 72 Jazz also can go hundreds of hours and years before dropping to 8V. This long battery life is also in part that I run my preamps flat and rarely boost frequencies, mostly cut. I change my batteries every year during New Year's Week. Most are still 9-9.2V, but they get a 2nd job in pedals, or as spares for me or bandmates.

Well found the wrench (right where I forgot I put it). The soldering iron worked like a charm!! Second application of heat and it broke loose. Lubed and adjusted...neck is now perfect and this thing is back to playable...yay! Thank you all for the advice and support.

Great news! I applaud you for going at the stuck truss rod with your brain instead of your muscles. You would have had a very different result if you had tried to force it.
Yep, there were large leaps in low voltage, low current, low noise devices between the mid-1980s and 2000 probably driven by the computer industry. I change my Dynabass batteries when they get down to 8.3V. Newer 18V stuff about once a year. There have been advances in batteries, too. Quality 9V measure 9.5V new.

That's an interesting idea. The case that came with my Fury project (planning to work on it in the fall) is missing the lining, but someone glued old carpet to the bottom of the body cutout area. A mat might have a little more "give". I want to hear more case repair ideas!
My slant pup Fury case is still intact with full lining and holding up very well. Which is amazing since it is the oldest case I have.
The Patriot case has glue residue from a lining only in the bottom of where the body sits (currently covered with the Thomas pillowcase) and just a 5" or so wide and 1" thick foam strip running along the top of where the fretboard would be. I don't know if it ever had a full liner since I can't find glue residue elsewhere. The foam is breaking down and crumbling away so I need to do something about it. The yoga matt idea seems pretty legit.
I'm thinking a layer of yoga matt in the bottom of the body area and a double (or maybe triple) layer of yoga matt to replace the foam strip.

Do you folks actually use those old cases ?
I must have 8 of them,stashed right at the back of the cupboard/buried behind 30 other cases. Short of skipping them it's the easiest way to ensure I never grab one by mistake

I'm thinking the same thing...picked up a dark grey yoga mat that I was going to use to line the contact area.
With ambition (currently in short supply with other pressing projects) I'd try to replace the lining...looking for guidance.
Yes they are clunky looking...but they are also "bullet resistant" (we never say: "Bullet Proof" 'cause you don't know how many and what kind of bullets they are bringing...)
I'm interested in that, too - I have one of those cases I was planning on doing something with, but haven't gotten to it yet...

In my instance, I was just planning on using it for storing the 80's Foundation it came with, but would probably never use it for actual transport unless I was moving, lol...
