Yes, I am doing that now. Photos and more details when it's done, but it's gonna be SICK. I sent @Thundar a text of it.

Well, all your notes would be very flat if you added an extra inch of compensation to the bridge without changing the fret locations
Unless you've got a new neck with fret positions to go with the new scale, you're in for a world of disappointment.Yes, I am doing that now. Photos and more details when it's done, but it's gonna be SICK. I sent @Thundar a text of it.
"Sick" is right. Just not the Sick you mean.
Side dots will be way off just like frets would,
but hey, knock yourself out.
I saw the listing after somebody had already snagged it and before the listing disappeared.
Black with Wilde P46/J45L, but that’s just me and what I did with my green Forum Plus.After many months of dragging my feet, my forum plus is finally back in working condition. I bought it on TB as basically a closet queen, but it had some serious neck twist/ski jump that I hadn’t noticed until it was too late to return or ask for money off, etc.
Fast forward to today, here it is with a freshly planed board, new frets, a new bone nut, a new bridge, and I buffed the satin finish up to a more 80s Peavey-ish high gloss. It plays good! It’s still not immaculate in terms of board geometry, but I already took a lot of material off and at this point, playing clean is good enough for me considering how rough it started. Consider this a cautionary tale that great condition doesn’t always mean great condition, ya know?
I do think I’ll be converting it to a passive system here soon, leaning toward the Geezer set. Maybe a black pickguard? Black pearl? Idk, opinions welcome lol

Saw this sell on eBay earlier.
Feel like sending the seller my condolences , boy did they take a bath on this.
36 bids for a total of £345 (Squier CV money).
Bad enough they invested in Gotoh/Schaller hardware but the finish was done by T Dog Customs. Toby runs the top finishing shop in the UK, hope the seller had the work done years back as today that purple holo sparkle would be £345.

Another cautionary tale re resale values after mods and eccentric color refinishes?
Cautionary tale regarding Peavey's status in the UK.
Price of G-bass here has remained pretty constant last 10 years. Friend of mine has had zero interest in his Unity despite it being listed for over 3 years. 2 T-45s have been up over a year now and I've been seeing the same TL-5 for at least 10 month.
Heck a tiger eye Cirrus custom took 3 attempts and it was at Fender MIM money.
Pretty cool video !!!! The definitive T-40 song. So punchy and driven !!!!!
When I was in junior high school, a kid named Joe, who was a grade behind me, wore a JOURNEY TOUR silver, crew only jacket to Miller Creek Junior High in Marin County 1982 because his mom was dating their drummer, Steve Smith. This was when I played trumpet and never even knew bass was in my future.
I had another buddy from another school who's mom dated a guy named Jimi Hendrix... I think I've heard of him.

Don't be so sure about that.
The T-40 was used for 1 tour, PR work along with the backline. Ross plays a Fender in the official video and he's on the Magnum in Tokyo. There's no word from Ross the T-40 ever saw studio time.
Hex Wrenches - GLennium
I need to buy 2 dedicated hex wrenches (truss rod and bridge)
----------
For some strange reason, my neck on the GV is very seasonal (more than anything else I own).
Thank you.

Interesting. For me it's the Patriot...which is crazy because it's a much chunkier neck than any of my other Peaveys.
That's too bad. I always thought it was a T-40. So what about "Don't Stop Believin'" ? That's a T-40, right ? Also, that Ovation on the Tokyo video is really cool. I just saw a Rare Guitars video on it.
