They did bring the Sarzo model back - as a Cirrus Sarzo model. I don't think they sold well, and when they shut down the custom shop, that was the end of that.

Anyone been to the Peavey store across from GC on Sunset?

That place is like a circus that no one bought tickets for.

Wow, this was the re-released model with the bamboo? Guess I missed out on this one.

The bamboo model, as I recall, had a darker finish and was less expensive than the model you see above.

I have a couple of Gbasses listed in the classified right now and could make him a smoking deal. I am pretty much only playing my GV and TL5. Plus I have a few TL6's as well if I get tired of playing the fives.

Adding the new Ashdown 410 USA cabinet to the man cave today! I had to remove a Carvin V3 combo from my platform to make room for her. Will let you know how she sounds once I hook up the Genz-Benz GBE 1200 up to it.....

Hey guys! So after much back and forth and I decided I'm gonna swap the pup's and pre from my milli for a system with a coil tap.
I love the oem but I really would like to have the option of going single coil.

I've been trying out other basses and I haven't played anything that feels as good as my peavey (except for a Bongo, to much$).
Does anyone know off hand what model pickups will drop in with out any routing?
I know I'll probably get the bart pre like in the Lakie 55-02.
Peace, bros.

Fretless Foundation with soapbars I got from GC in the mail. When I asked GC about the condition, the guitar guy said it was in pretty bad shape. I said, "Thanks, I'll pass." After thinking about it for a couple of minutes I realized this was GC and not Craigslist, and that the condition would still be decent, and that people probably pay extra for the "relic'ing." I told GC to send it over to me, and I just got it a couple of days ago. It's strung with rounds and I'm still getting used to the knobs spinning the opposite way, but I am definitely not going to make this my last Peavey. I'm hooked....

Bought Jamarvic's gold sparkle Millennium today. At $375 shipped it was a deal I couldn't pass up!

I don't know why I would want to play any other four-stringer but this one. I can't put it down. I got a EHX Hum Debugger and it eliminates the single coil hum. The sound is so rich with harmonics and so aggressive. I think this was a custom Patriot Custom, since the headstock has a clear natural finish, not red to match the body.

From my post back in October 2012:

Got it Monday: 1987 Peavey Patriot, with hardly a scratch on it. Estate sale. $165. Deluxe Schaller "elephant ear" tuners, gloss finish all over, and to my surprise, the neck is the same width as my '91 Dynabass and '92 Fury. I thought the Patriots had wider string spacing more like a P-bass. Maybe not all models were alike.

Anyway, great player and great looker.

Nice! My first bass was a Patriot!!

**gard0300** · #**993** 01-21-2013, 05:26 PM

Question for the club...... I own a RJIV. Is there a lot of tonal difference between the RJIV and a Dyna Unity ?

Andy_D · #**994** 01-23-2013, 04:34 PM

A nod to Peavey customer service. I needed a truss rod nut and micro-tilt adjustment screw. I told them I owned 3 Peavey USA basses and in spite of my asking several times for prices and a method of payment they just mailed me the parts. They didn't have to do that. Granted they are small inexpensive parts but, I will definitely remember that when purchasing decisions arise in the future. It's rare to find companies with great customer service these days.

Well done. Even though I just bought a J/MM Millennium (from the TB classifieds), it was hard to pass up a good deal like the one you got. If I had the dough handy, I would have snapped that up. The Millennium has jumped to the front of my favorite basses that I own.

Enjoy!

Indeed, especially bigger companies. Good for Peavey.

EMG is doing me a solid right now on a dead pickup. I bought it used, and it's several years old. No warranty.

No problem. "Send it in, we'll replace it".

Meanwhile, still waiting for a Bartolini pickup and preamp I ordered 3 weeks ago thru my local authorised dealer, and I'll prolly be waiting a few more weeks for it. What a contrast between two companies that are both in the same business.

Sorry for the 'jack job.

Enjoy her Mark,
i'll miss it, but I'll get another.
Bought a squier jazz 5, and a Audere to put in it. Just came to the conclusion if I have only 1 bass it needs to be a J.

Will a truss rod cover for a T series fit my Fury?

Not 100% sure, but I believe so. I believe Patriots are the same as well. I'm sure Peavey Parts would have plenty.

Just picked up this '86 Foundation.

Been looking for one at a good price for a while.
I was walking through a local guitar shop, and there it was.
$160 including tax.
Just what I wanted with a maple fingerboard.

I love the way this thing plays, but I really don't like the glossy finish on the back of the neck. Would it ruin the value if I hit the back of the neck with a scotchbrite to take off the gloss?
