I've owned a TL-Six and a TL-Five.
Now I own a TL-Six again!
Great basses. Highly overlooked.
Agree. I have a purple TL-Six that I picked up for $750. Awesome bass. I also have a Rick 4001. I can't see buying any more basses.

Cool thread!
I used to have this baby. Sold it for another bass. Stupid me... (although it needed new frets and a decent setup).

Thank you...
the 18" BW seems to be blown
had it into the shop and all the jacks were replaced and he said the driver was fine
well I got it back and it is surely not fine... so now I get to hoist this bad boy back to the shop. Argh!I notice that the Millenniums are cheap. I mean, is it a good axe despite a the price tag?
And what's the difference between the old Millenniums (the one with the MM style PU bridge PU & the Jazz neck PU) and the new ones (Both MM style PUs)
Are the old ones as good as the new ones?

The old Millenniums are fantastic basses. They are the reason that Dan Lakin introduced the Skyline series of Lakland (he told me this himself at the Chicago GTG.) They failed because Lakland responded with the Skylines, and because Peavey simply decided to severely reduce the number of basses it makes in the USA.
I a/b'ed my Millennium yesterday with a great Warwick Streamer and if compared very favorably although the two basses are pretty different. I would say a Millennium is equal to a USA Lakland or any boutique Fender style bass.
The imports are nice, but not in the same class as the USA Millenniums.

I never tire of posting this picture, even though it's an entry-level bass. It's just so pretty!
ALiP - The old ones are 35" scale and have Hipshot bridges and tuners. Some of the older models had the Plus designation which usually carried a drop-D tuner and upgraded fingerboard and top. They are great basses and are pretty affordable used - generally in the $450 - $600 range.
G3 - that is a great looking bass at any price.

I have the string version of this bass, with the tiger eye finish.
I gig with mine regularly, and I would hesitate to call it just an "entry level" bass.
It sounds great, is light as a feather, and plays like a dream-really. I can't believe it is only a two hundred dollar bass.
Sure, it's great for beginners. Actually, IMHO it's good for just about any level. It's all in what you make of it, I guess.
That bass of yours does look sweet! Enjoy
I know I need to post a shot of my own bass, but this peavey Fury looks just like mine.

Here's a Pic of my Peavey 1820 (18" BW + 2x10" Scorpions) Bass Cab just before I packed it up for shipment to NJ...

Maybe I was a little too harsh on the poor thing. I find the pickups a little weak (compared to my Dimarzio-equipped SX and G3), but i've been loving it more and more lately. One thing that I do know, it is never leaving my family.
Thanks for the kind words!
