This example features a solid ash body in a natural finish, paired with a maple neck and matching maple fingerboard with classic black dot inlays — a two-piece bi-laminate neck construction with a comfortable “D” profile. It’s fitted with the sought-after “toaster” style humbucking pickups and Peavey’s clever tone circuit, which uses the tone knobs to shift each pickup between single and double coil operation — plus a phase switch for even more tonal variation, from deep P-bass thump to biting single-coil snap.
Yes, it’s heavy (these basses are famously overbuilt), but that mass translates directly into huge sustain and an unmistakably rich, versatile tone that can cover P-bass, Jazz bass, and even Rickenbacker-style territory. All original, and comes complete with its original hardshell case — a rare find for a bass of this age in this condition.
A genuine collector’s piece and a serious playing instrument in one.
