U.S. Peavey Club

Is that a US model? For some reason I always thought single casting bridge meant US and bridge casting per string meant overseas.... was I grossly wrong there?

It's hard to see, but it looks like it has Hipshot tuners, and the Millennium preamp (stacked knobs) are 2 indicators it's a US. I too thought only the imports had the single bridges, but I guess not.

The single casting ABM bridge is an indicator of US manufacture only on the neck-through models. The bolt-on US Cirrus models have the the individual "finger style" bridges found on all the import models. Another indicator of US manufacture, which NicJimBass noticed, is the Millenium preamp, evidenced by the stacked knobs.

Foundy 5 dropped yesterday. It reeks of cigarette smoke, which is thankfully confined to the smoke film on the guitar, and not the case lining. It should come clean with a little elbow grease. But it sounds and plays great, and no problems that I can find. 1993 serial number. Came with a Peavey hard case for $140.

If they're anything like other Peavey basses they do. The neck pocket probably doesn't match though

That is the main problem. The Fender necks have a rounded heel while the Peavey necks have a square heel.

Fingers crossed! I've found as of late that my GV has all but cured my GAS for Mills... as blasphemous as that sounds!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]- Randy Jackson sig, silverburst. Has replacement pickups (EMG), but looks like it's in good shape otherwise.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. That's an Axelerator with a factory installed 2-Tek bridge. Rumor has it they're somewhat rare.

I finally heard back from the guy last night. The Mill was already gone. No surprise there...

Dang! If I were close, I'd scoop that up! What's up with all these nice Peaveys for fire sale prices?!?

Just when you say that.... two of 'em went up on eBay; one is fretless, both are very classy.

Any lefty's out there? Here's a rare opportunity. Don't recall ever seeing a lefty Foundation. This one looks pretty nice.

I believe its the same seller on both of them. They both are nice, but isn't his price a but high? Also you gotta love the Peavey add in his pictures.

What is the spacing of a Tl-5, dynabass 5 and a US Millennium 5 at the bridge? I am looking for a companion to my US Cirrus 5. Thanks.
