U.S. Peavey Club

I have a green TL6. It's not for sale.

Man I am like a little kid. I never get tired of posting that picture!
 
This is odd.

This Accelerator AX is said to have appeared in the Sept 2012 edition of Vintage Guitar, and also in an upcoming book (letter from book's author attesting to its authenticity included). But the photo in the magazine doesn't have the sticker.

"Now, about that sticker: It was added after the bass had its "portrait" taken, and is an official NASA item given to media in late 1970, prior to the early 1971 launch of Apollo 14. In other words, the sticker is 25 years older than the bass!"

What the hell? The seller destroyed a spotless bass, and a vintage sticker!

I'm pretty sure the headstock say Forum AX. But I agree. I think a sticker should be pretty easy to remove though. There are a lot of good products for that, these days.

Putting that sticker on that bass was really stupid. You ruin the sticker and devalue the bass. Although at $260, the seller isn't completely unrealistic for that bass. (I don't think Willie Moseley's certificate adds anything to the value)



*Looks like the ebay seller got the sticker, and the bass, from Willie Moseley. And only a couple weeks ago.

Hey guys, I am a new to Talkbass and would like to join the Peavey USA Club. I am a bass guitar collector who loves peavey USA bass guitars in particular. Please pardon me being such a newb at this, I have searched your forums for years and though I would finally join. I would be more than happy to post pics of the Peavey's that are currently in my collection. Thanks, Chris.

Post pic's!
 

Gorgeous bass. It's missing the thumbrest ring. Whoever changed the knobs must have removed it. I think that's the ash twin of my '83, which is maple.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, I think it's maple. The big grain threw me. It's really nice.

I've recently re-discovered my '87 Foundation S, and it's quite simply one of the best sounding basses I've ever played.
 
Chris, you are really well qualified to be a member of this club! :bassist:

BTW, my Dyna fiver is the same color as your Dyna (Frost Blue).

How crazy would it be if I told you that the Dyna is my favorite? I love the Cirrus guitars I have to death, but I always grab the Dyna when it's time to play. Needs a bit of a fret dress but other than that, what a great guitar. Thanks for the vote!:hyper:
 
Any David Ellefson fans on this Peavey thread??? I thought maybe there would be as he used to play Peavey guitars for many years including the Cirrus and then his own signature model that was sadly only made overseas..the Zodiac. I currently own a Jackson David Ellefson signature model made in the USA that he played during a clinic at sweetwater guitars in IN.... At any rate I would like to add a zodiac to my collection but have never played one. Has anyone touched one of these? I would like to own one just to compliment my collection but at the same time I don't want to waste any money. :help:

I just wanted to clear-up that I don't work for Sweetwater, I work for Uncle Sam.
