Very much so! Congrats on the score, and hopefully you'll either dig it or find something else that works for you!

The bass plays amazing, its just I play back by the bridge and if there is a pickup back there it gets in the way. Its the reason I dont use my Foundation as much as I would like to.

Here are some pics, The marks by the jack plate wiped right off which made me very happy.

Here are 2 more, These are the bad if the prior 2 were the good.

And 2 more, the back is almost perfect. No scratches, like it was never held against a body.

 

[metlman72]

And the final 2. Over all this bass is amazing, its just gonna be getting used to the color.... Oh yeah actually one knob missing and one is not original so they will have to be replaced. Best 140.00 I ever spent.

Best 140.00 I ever spent.

I could be wrong, but I believe that's the best deal I've heard of for one of these. Dang.

The machine heads would retail for more than that. Score!!!

I know where one is in the greater Puget Sound area.

A '94 model, Orange-ish, in very fine condition.

The guy won't ship, so it would be a face to face deal only.

I've seen and played it but can't get it due to pressing bills.

He wants 500.

Millenniums weren't made until well after 1994, so it must be another model. Either way, $500 for a Millennium is too much money.

Craigslist find:

Someone had a sticker on it, really visible in this pic, not so much under normal light, any suggestions on how to fix the finish?

Love the tone from this patriot, tone knob dialed back and it grrrowls like a mofo.

If sunburst in excellent condition they sell for 650+ with case

Sanding.... Or staining..... Unfortunately thats a huge patina area to cover

I believe he was referring to a second gen TL-5.

I believe he is refering to a TL-5. Thats what his title says anyway. If it is thats not a bad price from what I have seen. I personaly dont like 5 ers, but they look to be nice quality basses.

If you ever get to play one that's well maintained and set up, you'll change that to "exceptional quality". Even at Epay prices they are a steal. Couldn't get anything that's new and better quality wise for much less than $4K, IMHO. Check out a Sarzo or Dyna Unity if you ever get the chance and you'll see what I mean about the build quality.

I got my first peavey today, a very nice T-20 for $150 with the original case. within a few minutes i had her re-strung and setup. best neck ive ever felt. no pictures due to not having a camera, but i will post some once i can borrow one.

 

[MNAirHead]

If "amber burst" this is a desired color

There's a specific tber that will call bs on the value --- my dyna unity (sometimes known as a tl-4) sold for $650 ... The owner then returned to buy another

The key to USA models is to select proper mated strings and set it up to engineering design

FYI iem contour cases are worth $50-75 each

A picture of my Peaveys, minus the Patriot. I let someone use it and now I cant get it back. The dude has offered to buy it at least 3 times.

The Milly is something man. It almost has to many options, just when you think its dialed in...... a little tweak and its better.

 

[metlman72]

OK, so I used the Millenium for the first time yesterday at practice. I was blown away by the low end of this bass, but the higher end of the spectrum seemed to be lacking. I tried to adjust as best I could but it just seemed to be a weak exp on the G srtring. I am going to try raising the pup on that side a little to see if that helps.
Has anyone else had this problem with their Millenium. My band plays mostly in C# as the standard, well that and drop C. I dont know if maybe the down tuning may have something to do with it. As always any help appreciated.

It seems like the more I play mine, the more I dig it. Millenniums are extremely versatile.
