U.S. Peavey Club

Yeah, gone from Reverb, but now it enters the TalkBass family.:cool: Have been waiting and waiting for the right Cirrus four string to come along, and finally pulled the trigger on this one.
Congratulations. Nothing better than getting the dream Cirrus. I'm STILL in awe every time I pick one up. I swear, our TB family must own a majority of the Cirri out there. :) and that's a good thing.

That's because they're the best!
Dont look at me like that.... Wenge is the best, too.
Amen, brother ! Nothing to add.

My Patriot collection. The neck for the Teal bass is in LA at RWR Guitars since April '21, the owner, Randy, won't send it back...such a huge drag!
Anyway I'll get some closer shots soon.
Cheers!

Darn, you have an amazing collection of Peaveys, almost as many as @kodiakblair .
That one of the very left with the decal on the guard looks really cool.

@Bleecker , do you happen to know the whereabouts of the blue DynaBass ?

Now, this one is super tempting. I dont mind a beat up body, and could do a refin at some point.

Same seller as the white one posted by @JTbass44 yesterday.

It's about an hour and a half drive. I'm kind of glad it's not closer.

I'm glad it's not closer, too. I'd be all over that Foundy Custom. Black with rosewood and matching headstock for $225? Oh yeah!

I'd ask some questions like...does the truss rod nut turn and is it maxed? Is there a ski jump.
If the answers were favorable, I'd be in the car on my way.

Yeah, I saw that one from that seller as well. Certainly more beat up, but the black/black is nice.

So some of you know I got a Dyna some years ago with the intention of stringing it BEAD which I did. I bought it, cleaned it up and immediately strung it BEAD with Chromes. I played it two or three times for a church gig I was doing at the time. Then I put it away and it has sat since then. So today, I made the decision to put it back to EADG and use it as a backup to my Bongo in in my classic rock cover band.

I originally used the mech method to widen the slots where you wrap the larger diameter string in fine sand paper and gently sand down to the bottom of the slot. It worked a charm. This makes it easy to go back to the original string which will still center in the bottom of the fully radiused slot. No need for a new nut. It worked perfectly. Minor tweak to the setup and done.

So far I'm super happy with it. I've never played it before except in the BEAD configuration and I have to say I really love the pre-amp. I had to make a trim pot adjustment to equalize the volumes but once that was done she was ready to rock. No more sitting in the closet for this baby.

Gorgeous. My favorite Peavey bass color, too.
