Favorite Peavey bass you own: Cirrus 4 maple/maple
Most desired Peavey bass you don't own: B Quad 5, of course!
Best tone from a Peavey bass: Cirrus 5 Bubinga
Best neck on a Peavey bass: thats a tough one...its a tie, my RJ-IV or DynaBass Unity...and the tiny thin necks on the old Patriots too
Best finish/color on a Peavey bass: Anything flamed maple in any color
Most undesireable Peavey bass: for me? Any T-20 or T-40 but obviously there are plenty of folks that love them
Favorite bass overall (can be non-Peavey): Spector NS 4string...Euro or USA

I just wanted to make the comment about the never-appearing new basses from Peavey. My level of enthusiasm for whatever they may (or may not) release is, sadly, dead...
I’ve been quiet on TB for a long time…I will definitely play in the next couple days. I love this @Runnerman and am digging people’s answers!
Priced to sell!

'82 T-20, just not bonding with it, and I think it's the strings. Even with the tone tuned all the way down it's just too "zingy." Per the guy I bought it from it has Elixers on it, and I believe I'm not a fan.
Before I give up on it what are folks favorite strings for their T-20 (or Fury's with the slant pickup)?

Tone knob functions, through the whole sweep, it just never takes the zing out. So I will check to make sure everything is hooked up and working properly under the pickguard. I have an old unknown set of flats that I can throw on there (dark blue silks, bronze/red/black/green balls) to see what they do - if it's zingy with old flats, well...
I don't have a T-20 or a slant Fury, but I love the TI Jazz Flats on my split coil Fury and my Ric position, 916 Super Ferrite equipped, G Bass.
My t40 has a super ferrite in it and cobalt flats sound great
You replaced one of the humbuckers for a single coil . None of my business of course but I can't help but wonder why ?
I have loved my t40 for years, but all of my basses are in B or A flat, and the huge magnetic pull of the toasters makes a low B mega choingy. So, I pulled the neck pickup and ran it with just one toaster to verify my hypothesis, then ordered a pickguard from pickguard heaven and a pickup from eBay. My choing factor is much more manageable now and those two pickups mixed sound killer.

Guess it must have been the strings. I always kept one T-40 tuned BEAD, La Bella Jamerson, with no issues.
Tried most of those but EADG. Oh man it still smarts how much I detested chromes and cobalts
Just remembered I'd run my Patriot BEAD but not really through choice. Neck had a terrible bow, down tuning gave me a bit more playing time between straightening sessions
That's the reason my t40 has an aluminum neck now!!Tried most of those but EADG. Oh man it still smarts how much I detested chromes and cobalts

I’ve settled on Fender 9050L flats for my T-20. I prefer them over the TIJF I had on it previously. Don’t worry, TIs were moved over to the Stingray Classic were they will remain.
