This is posted in the USA Millennium 5 plus thread, but I couldn't resist showing it here as well. 2001 standard, candy apple red with optional birdseye maple neck/board and matching headstock. :)

That is awesome looking. ^_^ I see all the talk of Millenniums and it makes me irritated that I canceled my lay away on my Millennium 5 last year BUT it was a BXP and seeing the US ones makes me glad I did. But its all moot. My GAS I think it almost over.... yea I know, how many times have I and everyone else said /that/ eh? :p

Check your PMs, Knifemaker!!!

Just purchased an '89 Fury off the bay today.

I was really looking for an older model with the slanted pickup but this was simply too tempting. With a SD SPB-2 already installed, Schaller strap locks and a Schaller bridge I don't have to touch a thing. There is also some switch which bypasses the volume and tone knobs, I'll have to see what I can do with that first. I'll have some group shots with the T-40 when I get it in. These old Peaveys are addicting, now I have the urge to get a nice Foundation. Also my first bass in a while that isn't a natural finish with a maple board....such a great combo.

Edit... I dig the Foundation, esp in the natural finish... but that T-20 purely rocks. That is the shape of a bass (same as the T-40, I know- but simpler), and now, I am going to have to find one. I've commented consistently on this model, for good reason: It has a fundamentally solid shape- very stout with fat, but somehow graceful, lines. And with the single p'up it has an almost P-bass-type classic look to it.

If it has a tone that goes with that look, I want one, and in Natural! I am daily becoming more of a Peavey player- I may just sell my other 2 basses, keep the Dyna-Bass Unity, and look for a T-20.

Good to my word thus far: I'm selling off my Burns Marquee and my Schecter Stiletto Elite-4 (very modded). The only bass I now have that is currently functioning is the Dyna-Bass Unity.

I'm very happy with it- and it's good for me to be back to my original "day" of having just one bass. When I was starting out in Miami, everyone in a band, especially the bass player- was known for their axe. Those of us poorer sods had just one, and we had it a long time- it became a part of our identity, until that day we'd saved up enough to get another or a different one. And this Dyna is a great axe, I'm dang glad to have it. So now I can liquidate the rest of the "quiver".

The only other is an Ibby Roadstar currnetly being converted to fretless- and a new shape. For another day...

If I go back to gigging regular I'll pick up a Dano or something for backup. Or maybe that T-20!

I've been working on a T-40 project for a few months buying things piece by piece. I have everything but the wiring harness to complete this bass. I bought a T-40 fretless neck from a fellow T-basser and just installed it on the bass. I have Rotosound flats on there. I can't wait to get the electronics and get this baby up and running!!!

The body is refinished with a gloss finish. Opinions on a pickguard???? I'm thinking a classic tortoise guard. Whatcha think???
