Peavey Intros Durable Zodiak* Bass Guitars for Rock Players


Peavey

Posted 2005-01-13


Jan. 20, 2005, ANAHEIM, Calif. (Winter 2005 NAMM exhibit #5740) — Peavey proudly introduces the Zodiak 4 USA and Zodiak 5 USA bass guitars, new solid, USA-made rock basses featuring both J-style and P-style pickups.

In the Peavey tradition, Zodiak basses combine sought-after features with the road-worthy durability required by serious rock players. Available in four- and five-string versions, Zodiak bass guitars are built on a solid alder body with sculpted front and back contours and equipped with a stamped steel bridge, machined saddles and a three-layer pickguard.

Four-string Zodiak basses feature a combination of one P-style and one J-style pickup, while the five-string model includes two J-style pickups. Both models have two master volume controls and one master tone control for shaping the Zodiak sound.

Zodiak basses are outfitted with 8" radius maple necks so players can dig into their standard 21-fret rosewood fingerboards with comfort. These basses also feature all-chrome hardware, butterfly tuners and a Switchcraft jack.

Zodiak bass guitars will be available in 2005 from authorized Peavey retailers. Please see attached high-resolution image.
