That is a sweet bass, Robert ! Just FYI, my JJ Milli is the growliest bass I own. I just used it on some recordings. It sounds mean.
I have one too....I got Chuck M's old blue JJ Milly :D...and I agree!

I know many Peavey necks are interchangeable, so does anyone know if a 21 fret neck from say, a Foundation, would fit correctly on a Palaedium?

I converted one of mine to fretless and figured an inexpensive way to keep the fretted option would be a spare neck, even if the feel would be much different.

Hugely different, 8" radius vs 17" radius and that's before you think about front to back thickness.

Get a Foundation neck, tug the frets, plane the fretboard to 17", put new frets in. That should shave enough off you won't notice the thickness :thumbsup:

Haha, thanks. I know any neck would feel like a couple softball bats glued together when compared to the Palaedium. Heck, my fingers can barely get around on my Fury now! ;)

I just wanted to make sure that another 21 fret neck would fit without modifications in a pinch.

Thanks

My 1.5" nut '87 Patriot neck has more shoulder than any other 1.5" Peavey neck I have. It feels quite thick, but I do like it-it's joined with a 86/87 Foundy body. Plus, it's a 21 fret neck and switches out with all my other 21 fret necks and 21 fret ready bodies (Dyna 4, 2 other Foundations, Forum Plus, a 1.75" Patriot and T45 (on Foundy body)).

Thats what I was thinking. 800.00 to me is just nuts. It is a nice looking bass and I happen to like gold, but wow.

Prices on 99% of basses now are horrible. No way I'm paying over 1K for a Cirrus, when they were way less a year ago...Covid, Schmovid...people taking advantage of others because they can. No thanks.

Honestly. T40 prices have me on the floor. I got mine last April for 450, and I thought that was a bit high, but I wanted one with rosewood. Now I see them going for double that? Wild.
