I know this is not Guild basses, but the bass player on Sat nights, he told me the story of his Pevey MIA bass.
I guess in 1978 he went into a guitar shop to look at Fender bases. He was a friend of the owner so the owner said, "dude, you got to check out this new bass by Pevey." He is like, "pevey"? yeah right...
He owns it to this day. It was a patent pending Made in America bass, huge body, great big tone, top o line gear, but priced at $300, including a case. I gather the line did not last long and I am not sure when Pevey went overseas or if they did etc...
But he knows he got a total killer bass and I thought it was cool he is the original owner.
Figure some of you Bass guys might know of this Pevey attempt at breaking into the bass market.
