Wou


I mean I’ve always wanted an ebony board. What about fretboard swap haha

Honestly if you go through the trouble of swapping the board, you may as well pull out the truss rod and install a 2-way rod. Two birds with... two stones lol

Not sure where you're located geographically, but if you live somewhere that gets a good hot summer, you can clamp it in a frontbow and leave it in the back of the car for a few weeks. Certainly not as "controlled" as one of those heat clamp rigs, but the inside of that car can hit 150F in the summer, which is plenty to loosen the wood up.

Or, don't jeopardize the bond of the wood and the composite, and just plane the board level again. That'll likely include a refretting procedure though, so either not the cheapest or the most time-sensitive solution. And that's assuming theres enough board to even level.

The frets are pretty bad, I thought about refretting this in a year or so anyway after I get my fret press and tools. So not a bad suggestion at all.

What about the warped neck guy, I've heard good things.

I don't know if Peavey used the same bolts on other basses, but the ones I received from Amazon today are a perfect match for my G Bass.

With my new build almost coming together I’m on the eletronics


Grind usa 5 stock pickups?
May leave stock (I did the caps )

and upload to YouTube for the sake of- never seeing a grind USA in the wild


On the other hand I saw what lobster did to a Spector with two Emg BTS preamps at 18 volts ? I think

but he had a preamp for each pickup!


I thought what if I paired it with my 70s/ alnico 2 big singles in and paired it with two! EMG BTS preamps just for the giggles

 

[wild4oldcars]

This is a looooong shot, but if any of you fine fellas are hanging onto a set of pickups from a passive B-ninety and wouldn’t mind losing them, feel free to holler at me.

My Warwick Fortress Masterman had a 2-band preamp for each coil of a Dual Jazz pickup from the factory.

The wiring is easy.
Pickup to preamp
Both preamps to a blend
Blend output to a volume, then to your jack.

You could have 2 different preamps in there also. Say a Musicman style 2-band for a MM pickup, but then have a Nordstrand 2-band on a P-pickup. Lots of options. Watch for my Summer Buildoff

I want to drop this question here since I missed the Peavey customer support window by 30 minutes.

Does anyone know if the Grover 145C4 Titan bass tuners are a drop in replacement for the tuners on the T-40? They look similar to the tuners on my T-40 bass with the screw holes on the Grover 145C4 being the main difference.

Summer Buildoff?! I need to be in this!
