U.S. Peavey Club

Those red Sarzo models are really beautiful.

Mine has a beautifully flamed neck.

I've never seen string trees added to those basses. I wonder why they didn't do that. Looks ? Do you notice that it "handles turns" better ?

It has helped the open notes speak better, plus improved sustain, punch and intonation . The one design flaw of those basses is the break over the nut, it is usually too shallow for optimum performance. 17 degrees is the magic angle usually.

How does one go about determining the break angle at the nut?

If anyone is looking for a G Bass. Says it's Holoflake but it looks like the regular finish.
Heck of a good price.

The break angle is the angle of the strings as they pass through the nut on to the tuners compared to the strings on the fret board. On non angled headstocks, like Fender Jazz/Precision i like to shoot for 12 deg.

I think the Peaveys that have a tilt back headstock, the tilt is 8 degrees.

Measuring from the plane over the finger board the break towards the tuners, I use a machinists gauge. FWIW Gibson instruments are almost always spot on as well as most respected instrument makers.

It makes enough of a difference that I will do it to vintage and intrinsically valuable instruments. Ymmv.

Per Nigel, 441 is one better than 440! Or is 11 one better than 10? I don't care. Just happy to be here!

Someone bought it ! Not me, I wasn't trying to be whatever that word is...

 

[BassikLee]

That's not the holoflek finish. That's just the metallic black. Kind of a pearl black. The holoflek is VERY obvious. One of my G-Vs is holoflek.

Well it didn't last long but I figured it wouldn't. The holoflek is multicolor Flakes, that one clearly wasn't that. Someone got a great deal, hope it was a member.

Especially where you are in New York ....it's $2.09 in Rochester. Still way cheaper nationwide than it's been for a long time.
