U.S. Peavey Club

Probably because a similar method was used on ultra cheap 60's Japanese instruments.

QFT.

Meanwhile, EB seems to get the credit for 'inventing' the spoked wheel adjuster.

Lotta folks love that wheel. Too bad it doesn't eliminate the possibility of a frozen truss rod.

Don't blame Hipshot for "poor engineering". The 'A' bridge is what it is. It's up to bass builders to "engineer" their builds around whatever hardware they plan on using.

If your Millenium ran out of saddle adjustment room, then maybe Peavey didn't bother to calculate the optimal rout depth for the neck pocket? That's on Peavey, not Hipshot. Just sayin...

I meant Peavey.

Could be a milestone or something like that. I think they had PJ and JJ versions, which would explain the big route under the guard.

One of my all time favorite players - Jimmy Johnson on the Alembic with PEAVEY bass cab !!!!

 

[Chuck M]

Jimmy Johnson also has an Alembic fretless 5 with a Modulus neck. You can hear it on many of the Flim and the BB's recordings. Jimmy now plays with James Taylor.

Oh trust me, I know, Chuck !

Two of my electric bass heroes are mostly under the radar. Jimmy Johnson and Anthony Jackson.

An upright bassist named Tommy Williams is another great musician who is obscure. He played on a fantastic recording called “Big City Sounds” by the Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet. His wife asked him to quit playing music and he did.

I've never noticed this before, but yesterday my daughter was watching that spectacular piece of movie history, Xanadu rollno, and during the "rock" scene, guy is playing a Peavey T-40 bass! Anyone know of any other movies where a Peavey bass is being played?

 

[mb94952]

I know the band in the country bar in "48 HOURS" is playing all Peavey.

Redneck bar ?

I saw Fender amps and a Telecaster. Bass player has a PJ ; 48 Hours was released in 1982 , 4 years before any Peavey PJ.

Don't see any Peavey on show during The Bus Boys scene either.

Oh I was WAY off then. For some reason I remember seeing Peavey and that was the first thing that came to mind.

I love it, Chuck ! Jimmy is the man, and it makes sense now since you and Anthony Jackson both play 6 strings. I didn't put the two together til you said so. I love Tony Williams the drummer, but never heard of the bass player, like you said obscure. What a think to quit music because a wife asks.

The sad truth is that black Americans were openly treated very bad in those days. Musicians were typically not well paid and lived a dangerous life. Tommy Williams’s wife probably loved him and wanted him home at night.

Anthony Jackson is a terrific musician. I especially enjoy his playing with Michel Camillo.
