First generation TL-Five with super-ferrite pickups and the 5-knob configuration in killer trans red. This bass plays, sounds, and looks great. One minor ding in the headstock, otherwise the finish is perfect. Some very nice figuring on the back of the neck. Electronics are fine, truss rod works both ways, and frets have plenty of good times left.
Two minor issues: though the battery cover is cracked, it never worried me, it stays closed securely. The control cavity cover has a hole in it to adjust preamp gain without taking the cover off, this does not line up quite right with the set screw. A phone call to Peavey (to the guy that was in charge of the production of this line, in fact) confirms that this minor misalignment was very common for this model. The preamp circuit board is mounted VERY solidly and does not have any issues.
One tone knob has been replaced and is not original.
Ships in a non-original, sorta warpy HSC that will be fine for shipping and storage. $600Now asking $550 OBO shipped UPS Ground CONUS. No trades, thanks.
Specs/Manual here.
More pics are here.

Free bump for a sweet instrument.

If I could, I'd snatch up every TL-5 that's out there. Extraordinary instruments!
