U.S. Peavey Club

#5,002
Solid colors with a bolt-on neck. The 4 is a P/J and the 5 is J/J.

Here's a scan:

Here's the back of my Peavey Dyna. It's the bolt-on version, and many of these were built before the Dyna-Unity was introduced. The small toggle switch (on the front of the bass) is an A/B switch for selecting either active, or passive.

So, if the battery dies during a gig while using active mode, flip the toggle and keep playing. The battery is housed under the single panel in back, and it lasts so long-that access should never be considered an issue! Click to enlarge photo.

I have a 5 string Dyna in the same color. It is a '91. I also have an'87 in a dark metallic silver. Great basses.

Back in 2004 I played two of them in a music store in Nashville. Very nice. They had the 5 string and the 4 string. I too have the brochure of them,(got it at the music store). I see every once in a great while one come up for sale on GC used site. They usually mistake it for a BXP.

Nice. And right across the bridge from where I'm living right now! I might have to go look at it when I'm home (in a couple of weeks :().

There's actually several nice Peaveys on GC Used. At least 4 US Furys, some Dynas (Unity and not). 2 TL-Fives. 1 TL-Six. 2 US Millenniums. A Foundation S. Looks like market prices on Peaveys is trending up, too. Yaay! :-)

Well, they're trending up, but many of those have been sitting for a while. I'm just waiting for them to trend back down, especially those Mills.

I'm in the DC area right and keep feeling a tug to go try out the TL-Six up in Rockville. But, with an $800 price tag, the tug is pretty well counterbalanced by the Cirrus 6 I have at home. Heck, I didn't pay that much for the Cirrus!

Yeah that thing's been sitting for a looong time. Not sure, but it seems like they think they have something they don't. I'm sure it's a great bass, but not at that price.

Just picked up a G-Bass to add to my US Fury, US Patriot and my RJIV. Four is the magic number so far!!!! Always looking though :)

I have looked at these a few times online when they pop-up on ebay and GC but have never played one. What do you think of them???? Also, at what price point would you say is to high for one in near mint or excellent condition. Thanks for the advice in advance.

I've owned a couple of G-Basses. They play great and have beautiful Pau Ferro fret boards on the graphite composite neck. The neck has a nice C-profile... not to thick, not to skinny, but I could never get comfortable with the 35" scale length.

The market has fluctuated quite a bit on the G and G-V over the past two years.

It'll be interesting to see what the concensus is regarding current fair market value of a nearly mint G-Bass.
