About this USA Peavey problem...

I still would like to add a Sarzo & a Fury, then I'm done. :help:
Oh, I almost forgot, a "G" bass too. :bassist: ;)

That's what I used to say. "A couple more and I'm done". Now I can't remember how many I have.


A few more I forgot about -

This was the family photo about a year ago.

Since then, everything in the pic went away except the Millennium 5 and the Cirrus 6. A couple of B Quad 4s came and went. And a magenta B Quad 5 came to stay. I guess I need to do a new family photo soon. It's a smaller family now, but, I think, a better family. ;)
 
Peavey basses are like tattoos - after your first one, you keep going back and getting more.


Some of mine -

Not pictured - TL-5, G-bass, 2 Sarzo basses, RSB bass, USA Cirrus

Hey - couldn't help but notice the Guzzi poster in the back... Yer my type of dude - Peavey basses (got 3 of 'em) and Guzzi's (only got 1 now - '02 LeMans - but did have 3)...
 
TL-5, guys, and a tip of the hat to Tim Landers. His design from 1990 has been copied by virtually everyone in the business.

My 1st Generation TL-5 is a great bass. On Saturday I will have had mine for two months, and it is still growing on me.:)
The real kicker is just how good it sounds passive. It can sound just like a nice Jazz bass when I want it too, but it also can get active and aggressive when I want that vibe too.
 
I have had many basses over the years but none better than my US Peavey Cirrus. I had a few that I favoured over the Cirrus for a time (new & different etc.) but always came back to the Cirrus - just a fantastic bass overall! I have now sold all other basses I had and just stick with the Cirrus. A couple years ago I had 3 at one time - Burled Walnut (gloss), Bubinga (rubbed oil) & a Walnut (rubbed oil). I regret selling 2 of them to fund other bass purchases. Here is my Cirrus in action:

Cheers from Canada eh!
 
I am a big fan of the TL-5, but when I discovered the six.....
Oh yeah I have 2 TL5's also. :hyper:

Older family photo. I have added a GV and a Patriot and another TL6 since. Time to update.

Sweet!! I'm in the market for a TL-Six if either of you ever think about selling any! ;)
 
NEVER! :mad: :D
There is a pretty nice burst online on the used section of the Guitar Center website. I think its on the high end of the price spectrum right now but its been there awhile, they might be willing to deal on it.
Yeah I saw that one and inquired. Was told it had already sold. They just haven't taken it down yet..

There was a GORGEOUS one on Ebay a few weeks back. Missed it though.

They're slowly taking over! Worse yet, I'm still looking for a bargain deal on a T-40 :rollno:

It's hard to make out, but the one furthest to the left is a slant Super Ferrite Fury.

I've got an almost identical Foundation that I recently picked up for $100! Needed a good neck adjustment, but now it's my go to. I did the serial number look up and mine dated to 1984. Do you have any idea what kind of wood they used for these? I can't figure out what it is. It's very light, but it's hard as a rock!
