    Ah ok, that makes total sense. I was over here like "man I got the fun police over here making sure all my numbers match" lol. And yeah I agree to an extent, the 916 were designed based on the Peavey Pups but it is a different form factor. I'll refer to actual Peavey pickups as Super Ferrite and...

    Yep, because a split coil pickup around the P position is gonna sound like a split coil pickup around the P position. Am very much aware. I'm not sure where this assumption that I'm searching for some specific, magical Peavey sound is coming from. A p bass is always gonna p bass but the...

    IYV Guitars from Vietnam and those little pickups

    Oh man I hope that thin box and bits of foam aren't how that thing is being shipped internationally. As someone who has shipped more than a few guitars and still gets stressed just shipping within the US, my anxiety would be through the roof. Sweet looking bass though 👍

    My 916 pickup just came in the other day for it. Buuuut since I fix basses for people and can't stop finding trashed basses to rescue, I'd be up willing to take it off your hands if you're needing it gone. It would actually be cool to do an A/B comparison between it and the 916 super ferrite P

    My experience playing djent - modern metalcore with a 4 string fretless bass.

    Fretless bass and metal go together really well when done right. Sounds like you're having a lot of fun with it. Check out Beyond Creation. Dominic Lapointe did a ton of really cool stuff a fretless 6 string and their current bassist, Hugo, has kept the fretless going

    Definitely will if I go that route. Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it! I actually have a pair of Peavey speed knobs in the parts bin, so I'm all set there. Someone else may need them more

    You did a really good just with that bass! It makes me more excited to finish mine. I usually prefer maple fretboards purely for aesthetic reasons, but the rosewood and black headstock combination has always been one of my favorite pairings with Peavey basses. You've got me reconsidering the...

    I just ordered the last set with exposed blades from the ebay store. I felt like I'd regret not having the exposed blades to set them apart visually

    Alright, you convinced me, I just ordered some. Can't wait! Edit to add: I realized that if I went with anything else, I'd regret not having at least tried the super ferrite p in this bass

    I was meaning it's suited specifically towards the split coil P super ferrite 916 makes. The split p form factor. As opposed to putting one in say a Fender P bass or any other brand. Im not at all trying to get it to original Fury specs or sound, just trying to make it a cool P bass :) . I feel...

    I snagged this blank slate Fury recently, and at a good price too since the neck condition was a gamble without being able to put tension on it before buying. The initial plan for the pickup, even before picking it up, was to put a 916 super ferrite P pickup in it because what better suited...

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Disregard the dust, this was unintentionally created bass p0rn. I was setting up for a completely different kind of photo shoot and snapped this pic real quick to test my handheld flash strength. I thought it looked sweet, so here you go. This will be getting a new bridge and probably a...

    Your favorite headstock logo

    Yep, that's it. It's a cute girly girl with a smile and a rocket launcher aimed point blank at your face. Cute murderous fury

    Your favorite headstock logo

    I was going to mention the Soundgear logo as well. Something about the two fonts and it being chrome, to me,it just fits perfectly with the character of the soundgear line. Not the best photo, but one of my old SR505's: I'm a big fan of the script version of the Peavey Fury because it's the...

    Let's talk lightweight 5-string basses

    Ibanez SR series basses are light and super easy to play. Both SR505's I've had were under 8lbs
