U.S. Peavey Club

Can i have a number please?
Peavey Axcelerator 5

I call it... Purple Rain.

Hey!!! Another Barney Bass. I always liked that color.

My life feels empty without the cheap Peavey thread.

What made that finally close? Did it get too political or divisive?

One troll and it had gone on too long but it wasn't taking up nearly as much space as the "upgraded pickups for whatever Fender bass" threads or the "my strap button screw came out".

I thought about starting one that asked why Peavey players don't ask about PU upgrades. There have been surprisingly few of those.

I want a t-40. What's a fair price? What's a good price?

 

[gard0300]

If you have the patience you may find a nice one for a deal, less than 200.00. If your looking to buy a nice one soon from someone who knows the real value of these basses..... Probably between 250.00 - 400.00 realistically.

On eBay, T-40 have gone up, but sometimes sneak through in the low 300's.

I am probably going to buy this USA made Fury. The only problem is that the logo has been removed from the headstock. I am getting it for $100 with a Peavey case. I think a good deal considering.

 

[fourstringbliss]

You could get a replacement logo made.

 

[tonybassman]

I guess, but I think for 100 bones this is a good deal. I play gigs at the beach and this would be a good beach gig bass. I would probably use the Peavey case with my beloved black Foundation.

$100 is a great deal. Especially w/a case! That bass looks to be all original except the logo is gone.

I recently got one just like that, only more beat up, and with the logo still on it, for around the same money... If that one plays anything like mine does, you'll do well for yourself to grab it, IMO - mine has excellent fretwork, and plays very well...

Not sure if I'm in the club or not...pretty sure I've posted my 83 T-40, but this just came in today...

Fantastic condition...been looking for a nice blonde Palaedium for awhile so there we are

Next up, Foundation!

I'm intrigued by the pickup placement on that Palaedium. Would love to hear it.

Nice looking Sarzo just popped up, the brown one. Not a bad price.

That is a GREAT price for that bass. And it has a hardshell case. The brown Sarzo's don't appear that often. Man, if I didn't own 2 Sarzos now, I'd buy that.

SMCD thats against the rules. I hear by
request that you donate one of your Sarzos to worthy organization. I think you should look into Gard's Peavey Against Envy organization. I will forward you some information.

I like having a bass or three around with a wider pickup placement like the Palaedium has...to be honest, I've just noodled on the bass. Haven't had time to run it thru an amp yet

Hey all, I have a chance to pick up a natural '83 T-20 with the slanted SF.
I already have an '83 slanted Fury, which I believe was designed to replace the T-20 in the market. From my understanding, there really are no major differences other than body shape and weight. I'm guessing that 1983 was the only year that Peavey made both the T-20 and Fury...true?

The guy wants $150 for it with a good bullet case.

 

[gard0300]

I believe the fury featured the graphlon nut as opposed to the T20. Sound like a great deal.

 

[smcd]

The bridge is different on the T20 vs. the early Fury, but not much else. $150 w/molded Peavey case is a very good price! I'd buy it.

The main thing for me at least, would be the cool factor of the T-20. Those things just look so freakin' cool, to me
