    Are older Peavey necks interchangeable?

    Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a g-bass neck for sale.

    Are older Peavey necks interchangeable?

    I know this is an older post, but since there was never a definitive answer given I thought I would post this here. If someone wants to put a Peavey G-Bass neck on a Foundation, It will fit, but is not a direct bolt on. you would have two options. Option 1: use the two mounting holes closest to...

    Converting a Peavey Basic 40 into a head

    Yeah, the tolex came out a little lumpy. The biggest culprit in that is probably lack of surface prep. I did practically no sanding, just threw the tolex on it the way it was after removing the old tolex. Didn't want to spend too much time on the particle board housing. If it turns out that I...

    So, I started by removing all of the hardware and stripping the old tolex, trying to damage the tolex as little as possible, I'm not going to reuse it but may use parts of it as a template for cutting the new covering. I marked my cut lines with a sharpie. Cut the sides and back...
