just bought one from an authorized peavey dealer in my city. they had 2 of them on the wall. realized after i had it for a few days that it did not have the scalloped lower horn i've seen in pictures all over the net? it's a made in china version. maybe it's a 2nd because of no scallop? i would think they would have to mark it as such if it was and there are no markings to indicate that. it actually looks cleaner i think without the scallop and of the 2, i picked the lighter one that showed a lot more grain. it feels like, sounds great, fast neck..i'm happy with it..just was curious if anyone had heard of variations on these?

Here is my milestone IV beside my Ibanez BTB 450qm
Spray painted black pickguard, & I love the tone of this thing, nice and Fat. Such a beater bass though, thats what I love about it, tone pot doesn't work, and volume pot is wobbly.

the early models didn't have the scallop... that one obviously had been hanging on that wall a few years...

The T-20 and the Fury had the slanted pickup. There was only one pickup on each. The T-20 had the T-40 body and the Fury had the Foundation body.
Is there a list somewhere that shows all the old model Peavey basses and some info about them? Just wondering.
I'd like to show my Peavey to you guys....
It's a C Series Tigerwood 5 string bass. I bought it used.

As of now I have two sarzo's one fretless, two TL-5s one fretless with a demeter preamp, a TL-6 Fretless and a Cirrus 6. Pictures coming soon.
i bought an (overseas) Peavey Millennium BXP 5 string a few years ago as an inexpensive 5 string to add to the arsenal. The crazy thing is, right out of the box it was set-up better than my other basses. It's a nice bass for the price.
I have a soft spot for Peavey gear since it's what I started playing with and used exclusively till just recently. I got this 10 years ago as my first bass. It's not without its flaws (like a weak G string) but I love it all the same.

That's how it looked till about a year ago when I decided to strip it and give it a paint job, with this being the result.

It's about to be stripped again and have the same paint job redone with better quality paint and thinner stripes. After that it might get a new bridge and better electronics. I also have a Basic 112 that I run everything through, it's not much but for what I do right now it's fine.

my practice amp is a peavy, it's a newer one. with a vintage setting on it. its only ten watts.
That C5 looks sweet! Does it sound like a Cirrus?
Anyway, somehow I missed posting the pic of my USA Cirrus 5 and USA Millennium 5 in this thread.
Thanks cb56!
I don't know man. Mine has passive electronics. But it still sounds great.

Passive? what do the four knobs do? I'm figuring two are pickup volume/blend and one for tone. Most passive basses only have one tone control (G&L being the one exception I know about) I'd like to play one of these basses sometime.
