My old boss treated me like I was a waiter, so the other guys called me 'Garson' as a joke. 20 years later and one of the same guys I see occasionally at the new job calls me that and I'll respond. Ha!

I think that various terms of familiarity like that come and go over time and who uses them sometimes is age dependent.
Buddy, guy, fella, pal, mack, man, bro, dude, brother, etc....
I'm old enough where "man" was a common term (Hey man, how's it goin?) and now I only hear that from old guys .
Bro was a term that was reserved for black men when I was young and then it eventually got popular and tons of people used it, I didn't.
Dude came along and got super popular to the point where some folks say it fifty times a day.
I always thought the brother term was for men who belong to an affiliated club like the military, police or a bike gang, and now somebody might address me with that while I'm buying a six pack of beer or at the hardware store, and it feels weird.
Can you tell I've turned into a friggin' old man?

Brauh!
58 -- must be tough gigging.... I'm confident I receive "Bro" and "Brother" at least 50x a night.
Broskilicious?

Such a shame it all had to end here in the US. And such a shame that people hold Peavey equipment in such low regard. Or maybe it's just Talkbass. Peavey was such an awesome company.

In total agreement..as most Peavey folks here know..i have used a Peavey 1991 Dyna Bass 5 most of my onstage career for at least 30 years with my MKIV/1820 rig and have nothing but praise for the Peavey line of bass guitars, guitars, amps, cabs and all forms of electronics and hardware that Peavey produced in the golden years of the 20th century. Musicians all over the world have likely used Peavey products at some time in the musical adventure of their lives. Discerning musicians surely would have.

I miss Peavey being a big, badass player in the US industry.
It is not surprising that the US made Peavey gear has jumped a lot in value lately, and therefore harder to find. Seems their 'rediscovery' to a point, was brought on by the younger generation in the 2010s. They found out that T40s and those older aluminum knob amps really killed it for tone, durability and value in genres like Doom, Sludge, Stoner Metal, etc... Next thing ya know, the spotlight was on the 70s stuff and it jumped up in value.
Same with the guitar stuff, the 90s Classics, 5150s and Wolfgangs were accepted just like the Cirrus. Seriously cool gear. Even the various generations of Bandit is seeing respect.
I used to love playing out my Foundation through the Century 200 head and the guitarist on his 76 Classic 2x12" because there would always be some cork sniffer that would go "Peavey... huh?" yet have at least a minor revelation when they heard or played the gear for a few seconds. Now, we get someone saying "Peavey... yeah!" when playing out. Funny how it changed over the last 10 years!
RIP Eddie...Lots of adverts in my Monitor mags for 5150 amps too bigtone...Peavey...Yeah! to quote you lolI miss Peavey being a big, badass player in the US industry.

I tend to see a good many T-60s and even a fair amount of t-40s in the DIY emo/indie circles. This Audiotree session with Mom Jeans certainly comes to mind.
And this rig rundown with Charmer (basses start around 5 minutes)

Looks like a little Fender Rumble or some-such that he keeps banging down on the floor then sitting on...hope its not for hire lol
The editing and bits in that video never fail to make me laugh lol
I agree!! Both those videos are great....for different reasons.
Seller states "Very nice" Peavey Fury...Can't you tell from these outstanding, back-lit photos. Really, *** - why post photos like that and can't they realize the problem? Also, what makes it "custom"?
