Weird seeing a post with the words Peavy and overvalued in it. Doesn't compute with me. :D

In the older days of Ebay one could get SMOKIN' deals on gear that people got from inheritance, sales, etc that had the name spelled incorrectly, but now Ebay has auto correct, from what I've seen because I tried to trick the system to see if I could post a mispelled ad like Peavy in particular. My buddy got a super rare Fender Strat for $400 about 15 years ago.

Does anyone here know if the string spacing is adjustable on this Wilkinson bridge? I have this bridge on my Axcelerator 5.

My experience with this bridge, is to completely disassemble, clean, oil, etc.

The "problem" (actually a benefit) is that when we get them setup, they do not have to be redone. After a while, steel parts corrode etc.

That’s a good point, although the burst is definitely not NOS, lot of little scratches. Nothing bad though.

Well, it sure looks NOS to me, but it looks like the blue is surprisingly winning the vote.

BUT - I'm willing to bet that if you had them next to each other and the 'burst had all black hardware, then you'd see people's eyes open wide :)

This is not Peavey related but SUPER cool.
So, I live in Petaluma which is in Sonoma County, California. Mesa Boogie, KALA Brand Music Ukes is across the freeway, Alembic up the freeway 15 minutes, EMG in Santa Rosa, Modulus / VOX in Novato, etc..

So, I was just outside sanding my Millennium body and a guy and his wife walk by and ask what I'm doing. I tell him I am sanding a bass body and he sees it and says oh it has a jazz pickup in the neck position. He asked where I got it and I told him Amber from Brown Eyed Girl on Reverb / Ebay. I said, "Well you obviously know what you're talking about, do you play ?"
He says, "My name is Rob. This is my wife Karen. We live right around the corner. EMG is my company. Want to come take a tour ?"
Ummmmmm... YES !!!!!!
