U.S. Peavey Club

Thanks @Runnerman , @MNAirHead & @Bleecker for your input, I would replace the bridge but don't have the spare $100 with no gigs. FWIW I always liked the look of the P bass bridge cover and kept it on the Unknown Blonde which this bass replaces for me in some strange ways. The tuners and cover have spent all I got for now and the tuner issue is crucial.
@Bleecker are you referring to my Mr Brown Cookie Jar or Benny the tabby cat?

My El Toro is just a little bit of hardware away from Stealth status. G&L used the black crinkle bridge and control plate during this time, which I really dig. Alas, I'm leaving it as is.View attachment 4183146
...because I already have a fully Stealth 'active J Bass' ;)

I would love to get my hands on a Patriot neck (or equivalent) with the black headstock, rosewood board and wide nut. My RicRiot would look extra badass then!

Love that El Toro!

I have a PJ body hanging around here that I've been kicking ideas around and one of those has been to build a "Stealth" bass. These are pushing me that direction!

So, I'm cleaning up in preparation for a move and I come across a new set of Smith piccolo strings and look across the room at T40 #2 and wonder. Do the members here think it would be a sacrilege? I can't get the image of the T40 inhaling helium out of my mind. I'm a child at times I know...

I was referring to the cookie jar... I think the bridge cover will look cool and unique, go for it!

Honesty,

It took me like 4 months to decide to drill the 2 holes on my Fword Pbass... I double faced taped it.

When I cut through, I fully understood it would delete the fact that I had the original Fword Packaging, receipt, hang tags, strap, box etc.

I double faced taped it while figuring it out.

opinion -- i'd either be patient for the black peavey bridge, or create a method to get the current one plated

I'll see if Stu has a pix of the stealth bass.

View attachment 4183380 I have an opportunity to buy a husk that has some significant neck damage for a very nice price. The neck has some pretty good cracks on the back in the center. May can either figure out a way to glue or fill the cracks with epoxy maybe and sand it down smooth. The bass doesn't have any hardware, so I would just build it out with aftermarket parts. I figure if I can't make the neck work, I could cut the neck off and route a neck pocket and put on a bolt on neck.

That's a nice piece right there. Has the older trapezoid bridge. And a great blackout/stealth platform. Delaware though....

Yes, in my neck of the woods, but I have no interest in getting another foundation right now. Considered getting it and then flipping it on either Reverb or TB, but not sure I want to deal with the shipping at this time.

I hear you on that,. I'll measure and think many times before any mods, even one this minor. The cover arrived today and I'm trying to decide and shopping for a black Schaller bridge to keep from drilling more holes
