Just got this one back after a few years absence. :hyper:

Let a friend have it for his studio and recently worked out a trade. Been jonesin' for a P type and this fills the bill. Pick guard is homemade and covered with black vinyl. Strung BEAD. Don't think I'll let it go again.

Thanks for the pix.. I'm doing EXACTLY the same conversion.

Question .. was it originally a stealth or did you have chrome?

Asking mostly about the tuners.. I need something black and unsure if anything fits directly.

Heh, how olds that video? His deadpan delivery reminds me of so many instructional videos from the 80s.

The video is priceless for:

1. the jamming session
2. his deadpan humor, very "special"

If you are looking for a lesson, go somewhere else.

I do recommend it, though.

He is funny but in a weird way. Or is it weird but in a funny way?

Makes me think that for his A.I. "token" gig he just spaces out and thinks about the paycheck.

Hehehehehe......:hyper::hyper:
In a few days the red one will join the rest of this group and I think that is all of the finishes that were available. However someone told me they thought there was a violet colored one, which I think is the brown one under certain lighting, and a natural one, which I have never seen. Anyone have any other info on the finishes on the TL6's?

Thanks to Geoff, I am now the rightful owner of an RJ-IV. I got it delivered at work so it did not get cooked in the sun waiting at my door step all day.

Coworkers' reactions go from "meeeh..." to "oooooh..." Of course one asked why it made no sound and also was surprised to learn it was made of WOOD. She thought electric basses and guitars were made of PLASTIC :)

But since she also happens to be my supervisor, I asked her if I could leave now for the rest of the day so I can go play it and she said no :(

Ok, it's a beautiful instrument. It's actually much nicer than I thought.

I may look into stopping the tiny crack in the back, I will post in the luthier's corner for ideas.

US Peaveys I currently own:

1983 Peavey Foundation
198? Peavey Patriot
199? Peavey Fury (with P pickups)
1992 Peavey RJ-IV

A Foundation FL wound be nice.

Ok, here is another video for you:



I did get the DVD from Netflix once. It was interesting. The lesson sucked but the grooving did not.

He uses a Jazz for the jam part, and the RJ-IV for the lesson.

Actually the video is VERY good.. the issue is that much of it is along the lines of many of the "groove" oriented videos.

You really need to watch it several times to pick out everything.

I first thought the Verdine White one bit.. then went back and noticed all the nuanced lessons.

I find the "in your face step by step" videos to be missing all the nuances that make an average guy excellent.
