U.S. Peavey Club

If you look at the preamp 3 of the "spider pots" (I think all except the Bass) are NOS that I managed to buy from a guy on a Peavey group on FB. That in itself was already a challenge.
The bass was unused possibly for years, and I had to do a VERY deep clean. Most metal parts were in need of a bit of rust removal.
I shielded both pickup and electronics cavity.
Cleaned and polished fretboard (very dry) and frets (very tarnished).
Good to know. Bass sounded good, but was a little noisy. I ordered new caps, and was hoping that might quiet it down. Sounds like I should be prepared for the possibility of more work in the electronic dept. Thanks for the info!

I'm looking for black tuners for my G Bass neck. I'd like to spend about $50. Will Gotoh GB707 fit? Other recommendations?
Yup ! I have those on my Cirrus and a few boxes in my parts box for when I need them.
 
Not sure if this will be the final mix, as some guitar needs to get redone, but everything else is pretty much where we want it. Again, this is on a Cirrus bolt 5, but with about a 50/50 split on the pickups, more towards the hi-mids on the mid sweep, and played with a pick.

Btw, our guitarist's dad did rhythm guitar and most of the vocals on this, and he's a 76 year-old cancer survivor!


Very nice. That's a staple in our set list every show. Always keeps the booty shaking. You did a great job with a few little twists and turns different from the original that really added to the song.
