David Ellefson

David Ellefson has been laying down some of metal's most memorable bass lines for over 20 years. Today, with his new Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpio signature bass, he's pounding the low end on modern metal classics with his bands F5 and Temple of Brutality.

"I wanted to create a bass that incorporates the best sound qualities of a traditional instrument but also has cutting-edge features designed for modern players," he says. "My technique and playing style have always demanded more from a bass guitar to really capture the power and depth of my music. The Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpio brings those elements together in one powerhouse instrument."

The Zodiac DE Scorpio bass guitar is the first signature bass in the Peavey Zodiac Series.  In the celebrated Peavey tradition, Zodiac basses combine sought-after features with the road-worthy durability required by serious rock players. Like other basses in the Zodiac Series, the David Ellefson signature model—named Scorpio after Ellefson's sign in the astrological zodiac—is built using a solid alder body with sculpted front and back contours and equipped with an articulating bridge with machined saddles. The Scorpio is also outfitted to his specs, including custom Seymour Duncan® pickups, a gloss-black finish and a mirrored pickguard.

Also a longtime Peavey bass amp endorser, David uses Peavey's new Tour Series and Pro Series heads and cabs to help him deliver the punch and power he demands for his music.
