U.S. Peavey Club

[mb94952]

There any memberships left? Picked up a TL-5 (rev 2) a few weeks ago for $300. Finally got it set up and cleaned up a bit. Thing sounds like a very expensive bass! That neck thru, ebony board, oval inlays, look deluxe as hell, and the pickups/preamp have a ton of character! I'm excited about this one!

Yeah… sounds?

someone tell this man

 

[kodiakblair]

I had one

I had 2 , Tiger Eye and violet Quilt.

Found to my cost I much preferred the BXP AC Millenniums to the US version

 

[MNAirHead]

I'm not, but there's one on CL in Minnesota. I'm a four string guy, or I'd definitely check this out:

I wasn't aware at the time I posted, but it seems to be the case.

Good you saved me from a buy... Thought I'd missed one!

Did you buy the blue Foundation with the bad "paint job?"

nope...

I'm so trying to decrease my instrument count

 

[Chuck M]

nope...

I'm so trying to decrease my instrument count

Yeah......"trying" here too!

 

[mb94952]

Me too ! "trying" to decrease my instrument count means just buying one a month / year instead of two.

I’m in search of a T-40 case, I know I know it won’t be easy. I figure since I spent a pretty penny on a T four zero I might as well find the OG case.

Note there were different "contour" cases (also called "chainsaw") if you're looking for the rotomold variety

...hahaha! you could end up spending twice as much on the case! Good luck!

Just buy a decent aftermarket one, if you really need it and the only reason I see the need for one is if it's going to be out of your control on a plane or a bus etc. In all my years of local gigging, I've never needed more than a gig bag.

There are two available on da’Bay. Both need lining.

@halcyo you are member #446. Welcome to the club!

 

[AudioTaper]

GV owners, how is the neck as far as chunkiness? Does it compare to a Cirrus or is it bigger like a 7ender 5?

Also, anyone know the bridge string spacing?

The neck on my GV is a little fatter.....fingerboard to back...than my Cirrus 5's. It is still a very comfortable neck to play and feels very natural to me. The string spacing is the same as the Cirrus and I think that is one reason the GV feels so good to me.

I was fortunate to get mine from an ad here. In a moment of weakness I sold it and after a UPS delivery debacle the bass was returned to me and I realized then that it was a keeper. I've not seen one for sale recently. Do you have a line on one?

Here's mine:

Awesome, thanks for the info.
Do I have a line on one? Possibly. Something like that....

 

[Landsharks]

I was searching for a Koa Dyna Bass and found this, it's in South Carolina.
