Bassilisk Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My recently acquired 80's Peavey Rudy Sarzo. This is a whole lotta bass for not much money, and "Handcrafted in the USA". Five piece neck-thru with Ebony board and MOP inlays. Plays incredibly well and sounds great! I'm liking this bass alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yet another gsg? Sweet! Nothing get's past you Kelv. I had the chance to require it, so,........................... the guy who had it played it once, and didn't care for it. He played my Jazz, and we did a swap.

Bassilisk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Great looking bass! I love neck-throughs. Aren't you glad you kept it? I am thrilled that I didn't return it. It is smoking in every way - the issues were strictly cosmetic and easily managed. What a great bass, lost in the hair band days when Sarzo was peaking. My advice - get over that association and get ready for a top shelf instrument!! They are being recognized though, and several I've seen are going for substantially more. Like your Aria. If you keep your eye out you can still get a great deal - beware the "new guard" that see the quality for what it is!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they've been modified to suit my tastes, but they are truly well-made, great sounding and playing basses. The name on the headstock really doesn't matter much to me anymore. You just never know what you're going to fall in love with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We both walked away from the deal satisfied. He knew he'd get low balled on a trade, and didn't want to go through selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hope nobody minds the in-action shots: The upright Love the Action shots - basses always look better in them.... That's a good lookin' band; can't blame you for not watching the fingerboard! Here's the best shot I have of my SG: We love it when the Cheerleaders show up. They can't sing or play, but who cares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaolee Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 She's great looking, but unlike cheerleaders, she can really sing and put on a show. She plays a bit of guitar on a few of our songs, too. Being the bass player is the only way a creepy old guy like me can get to hang out with a couple of cute 26 year old girls and not get into all kinds of trouble with my wife and everyone else.

I hear you... I'm in 2 bands right now, both with female singers, and it's great. My wife doesn't worry about me being out there any more. Her theory is: anyone I'd be interested in wouldn't want anything to do with me, and she's right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvinator Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 well if we are doing action shot. from 1989 can you tell by the Izod jacket Love the Izod - pure class! I could only aford a "Members Only". The action shots are great, but now you'll have to photo-shop in some hot 26 year-old girls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I still have the Members Only - it should be back in style in the next 10 to 20 years (just like my teal living room carpet!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassilisk Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Not long ago I picked up an '89 Peavey Rudy Sarzo in great shape for not much $$. I've been liking it so much I've had my eye out for something else of theirs from the same era. It finally showed up and was actually cheaper than the Sarzo. Got it this morning. '91 Peavey Unity in Koa. Standard models were Maple neck/poplar wings and painted. They made a limited amount in all Koa (Purpleheart stringers) and upgraded the pickups to EMG's run passive V-V-T. It's in really good condition, and with some new strings and a setup I couldn't put it down. Handcrafted in the USA, exotic wood neck through with premium electronics, brass bridge and nice tuners similar to 80's Fenders. Wow! Construction is first rate and it sounds great - the Koa tames those EMG's nicely. It's certainly worth more than its cost, no doubt! I am a happy camper!!
