acoustibass...is there a way to find or change the battery box on Dyna - TL series etc... it's always missing or broken

I'm not aware of you can add the Sarzo to that. There's normally room to relocate the battery to the preamp pocket. Isolate it with some foam rubber. I remove the battery box and make a plate to cover the hole.

commenting on stuff from previous thread...

TommyKnocker: The old analog wireless systems may have degraded the signal some. But, I don't think I've heard ANYbody claim that they can hear any signal degradation from the new digital Line6 Relay series. I definitely cannot hear any from my Relay G30.

mark beem: Man! Nice TL6. I SO would like to try one of those out. Especially if I could A/B it against my Cirrus 6 (w/Mill pre).

Of course, Stu and I agree AGAIN !:hyper: I absolutely love my Line 6 Relay G30. It uses 2 AA batteries (not 9v) and it sounds better than using a cable. It is designed to sound like Mogami cables, though :hyper::hyper:

Peavey Cirrus and Foundation basses RULE by the way !!!

Here is my custom Franken-Foundy !
- Body and guts from a Foundation
- Neck from another Foundation. The black headstock looks awesome on this bass
- Replaced the bridge with an ABM bridge like on the Cirrus. Sounds and sustains better, believe it or not.

I think the Foundation is underrated by the masses, but anyone who has one knows they are wicked. They sound like a Ric and play 1000 times better, too.
Average Foundation price ? - $250 ?

Then, maybe the Dynabass ? At $300 how can you go wrong ? With an active/passive toggle, you basically have a hybrid of a Foundation and a Rudy Sarzo

Hmmm... Otherwise it seems that Peavey basses, and our collective "little secret" is getting out and Peavey's are commanding a lot of $$ across the board in general.

One thing Peavey makes very well are their basses !

Also, I hope this thread doesn't get out and start raising the prices on all the basses mentioned :crying::crying:

Picked this up from eBay today. Seller offered to pay shipping for Easter day. That was enough incentive for me! This is my first old-school USA Peavey. Has some scratches and dings on the edges, but nothing unsightly.

The phase switch isn't the original style, but that is easily corrected.

No, I PM'd him about buying the bass yesterday, on Easter, and he replied with the free shipping offer. So I accepted! I have seen only one other like this, and it sold for around $750. I got mine for $460 (shipping included).

And yes, it has the lined HSC.
