The Millennium is in very good shape for a 30ish year old bass. A little staining on the back of the neck, a few small chips. Sounds great.
The G-V is in pristine condition. I'm wondering if it was NOS. came with a case. There is exactly ONE mark on the bass, at the end of the head. Looks like it hit a white wall, and got some white on it. I'm sure it'll come off. That bass sounds freakin huge, and has this inherent 1K-ish bite to it that just cuts.
I'm going to play them both with the strings they came with for a week or two, then switch to my dunlops and tweak the set-up on each. So far, I'm THRILLED with them both.

Here is my 1983 T-20, I am loving the color. Gotta get her all setup this weekend when I have more time.
Congrats on the best bass I've ever played!! (G-V) does it have the weave?
Dunlop super brights? Nickel or stainless? How's the growl? My GV has NYXL
And let me know when you want to sell it
Weave. Stainless. Playing the current strings until they die first. Not for sale. In fact, I'm looking at grabbing another one soon.
All the necks have the same weave, some got clear coat and some got black, otherwise exactly the same neck made by the same people in the same place.

Nice! I'm looking for one of those if the price is right.Here is my 1983 T-20, I am loving the color. Gotta get her all setup this weekend when I have more time.

Nice score on a true American classic. Looks just like the one I had. Pretty sure the official name for that finish was Frost Blue.
I'd still have mine if it wasn't so heavy. It had a distinct "plonk" sound, different than a Foundation or a Patriot, but identical to the early Fury's with the same elecs.
I'd been looking for a blue w/black pickguard T20 like that for a while, after I bid on one on ebay a year or two ago, and the seller cancelled the auction the next day, never seen one since then, until today!
I've got a set of T-40 Grover Titan tuners I'd put on, not that into the cloverleafs myself

@BassikLee Thanks. I thought my GAS was good for a few months now but you just have to go putting up pictures of a GV. I really want a G bass now. drool
Speaking of GAS, my Millennium just got delivered to my father-in-law's house.
Now I have to wait for Christmas 
or see if I can get it disassembled and packaged so my MIL can take it on the plane when she visits in a month.

Five bolts. Quick to yank apart. Have them cut the old strings off it, after loosening. You'll want to set it up anyway.
As for GV basses, they are out there. There is one on reverb. I sort of have a deal pending on #2 and #3.

Looks like your GV wears a non stock bridge as well. All of them that I've seen are the three screw ABM like the Cirrus 5 uses. Not my favorite bridge, but they work.
Yes I believe it was an all parts Abm quick realeses string style bridge
