Peavey Forum V Surprise

[Dr. Cheese]

Cheese - your B string saddle appears to be backwards. Was this done intentionally to allow for the piece the string rests on to go far back enough re: intonation? Surprised as you are using a tapered B and usually the saddle is farther up.

Just curious.

I just put the saddle where it is intonated. Last time it was further up. This time it intonated when I went back.

I owned one of these way back when.
The translucent grape version.
Great bass but heavy!
Sounds great...

I had a grape colored one that did sound great. It weighed 12 lbs, but felt more like 15. I guy begged me for it so I sold it. I am glad I still have the black one.

Yeah I was a much younger man then!
That definitely wouldn't work for me now...

Dang, it is backwards, but it is intonated and sounds great. I don’t want to mess with it!
