Nope, it's USA.This body looks like an import...
THAT is killer!Millennium - is this a frankenbass?
I have many USA millennium
Dumb question... This body looks like an import... Anyone know if it's USA?
Nope, it's USA.
Import passive JJ have a different 3 knob arrangement which don't allow for those on the pictured bass. Millennium AC follow the arrangement but have 2 Cirrus VFLs.
If you have doubts, ask the scale length. All* USA models were 35", imports were all 34"
* There was a 34" US 4 string. It was a passive PJ which nobody talks about![]()
I have Chromes on my Slant Fury. Love them. Been on there for probably 6 or 7 years. Bass gigged regularly. Full deep tone but unmistakably still Super Ferrite.'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)?
I'm with Kodiak on this....that looks like a USA all the way. Maybe its a custom ordered finish?Doesn't the body look import? They normally sunburst the edges
I do not think I've seen that finish
Wow where does the time go?
Hey Everybody,
I recently bought a Peavey Axcelerator 5 off of someone locally. I burned myself by not noticing that the neck was twisted and the truss rod was maxed. Does anyone know any necks that would fit for this bass? In the alternative, what are some necks that would need minimal routing of the neck pocket to work?
Thanks!
It might. If the distance from your saddles (at the midpoint) to the neck pocket is roughly 10.25" it will work.So, the Axcelerator neck is a 21 fret, 35” scale. I don’t think it would work.
I'm in. I have a '82 Peavey T40 and need some advice on the barrel jack.Hey guys I am starting a U.S. Peavey Club here at Talk Bass,please let me know if you are interested.Thanks Joe![]()
Yeah, unfortunately, with one 1/4 turn, I snapped the truss rod, so the neck is essentially shot given the value.I've had frequent luck loosening the truss... clamping to a straight edge... then snugging back up.
Sometimes it takes lighter guage strings too.
It's a switchcraft barrel jack, they wear out and fail. Just replace itI'm in. I have a '82 Peavey T40 and need some advice on the barrel jack.

In the alternative, would a Foundation 5 neck work? I know it's 34" scale instead of 35", but if the heel is the same width and shape, I could deal with the 34" scale.
Do not make my mistake... buy a switchcraft (and not a chiwaneeze copy).It's a switchcraft barrel jack, they wear out and fail. Just replace it![]()
