Wait, how does this song start again??
Here's me new beest. U.S. P/J Forum. Worth twice what I paid for it and three times in satisfaction value.
Can I join you guys? 
I currently have a US Cirrus Redwood 4 and a Green Unity DynaBass, though the Unity is soon to be sold to give place to another Cirrus. Dont have a picture of the Cirrus yeet, but here's the DynaBass.

Finally I put SD srb neck pickup on my Patriot, now it's complete, here is the video:
Fell free to drive to Nashville and leave that Unity at my house.Can I join you guys?

Nashville is quite a few miles away from Oslo, Norway
Anyhow, second Cirrus will arrive on the Post office tomorrow, looking forward to find out wich one will be in B and wich one will be in E
Greetings, fellow Peaveyheads!
I have had a spark of GAS for the first time in 2 years (since I got my EBMM Sterling 5H). My GAS is for a dual P 6-stringer. The new Roy Vogt Carvin/Kiesel sparked the GAS, but that is too rich for my blood. Not to mention I don't find it a particularly attractive bass. I have been interested in a TL-Six in the past and now that interest is re-ignited.
Specifically, I am interested in the possibility of acquiring a 1st Gen TL6. I'm picky, so it would have to be pretty much mint, and either Red, Black, or Eerie Dess. Eerie Dess would actually be awesome! And, like I said, 1st Gen. If I'm playing a P bass, I really want it to have passive mode and a passive tone control.
Unfortunately, I don't really have cash to put into it, so I am finally admitting to myself that I don't play my Millennium 5 and I probably won't ever. The 35" scale just makes my hand unhappy. On the plus side, I figure my Mil should be pretty much an even trade value-wise for the TL6 I want. So, if any of you have a TL6 that matches my desires, and would be interested in a trade, please drop me a line.
I've posted pics before, but here are a couple again, of my Mill. The birdseye on this bass is truly redonkulous!

I found a used TL6 for sale on GC. The sales guy sent me these pics. He said the bass looks like it has had some fret work. But, this doesn't look like anything I have seen before and I can't figure out what would have happened with this bass that would result in a repair that ended up looking like this.
Does anybody have any clue what is going on here?

Being that it's GC, I am tempted to try it out, knowing that I can return it locally for a full refund. Even if I return it, I suppose having 30 days to try it out would help me decide whether to keep looking for a better one or not.
That sir looks like a horrible repair job an a fret that need either replaced or came loose. Or possibly it hit something and they back filled the end of it. Should be salvageable.I found a used TL6 for sale on GC. The sales guy sent me these pics. He said the bass looks like it has had some fret work.

But, doesn't it look like a bunch of frets? Like, the nut, Fret 1, and Frets 16 - 24, at least.
Yes sir it does. I've seen that done before on a Foundation I bought. Suprising or not it was done professionally at a Sam Ash facility. Might not be a cheap repair but if the purchase price is hella good might be worth the effort.

The paint at the frets has turned loose. I put it down to the different expansion/contraction characteristics of the fret board/frets and the paint being ultra hard. I have two TL-5s that have the same "problem" to a lesser extent. That does look like a brass nut and would not have been original but at the same time the fretboard looks to be rosewood and not ebony. There's a possibility it was a custom order.
It also looks like there is a thick veneer type overlay on the peghead. Do you have a pic of it?
