I had a g bass and I totally regret selling it

Also had fury I shouldn't have sold

 

[Bassman474]

Here it is! '93 Foundation with a maple board and transition period pickups. Plays and sounds wonderfully, I forgot how fast these necks were! Also a pick of it by it's T-20 cousin for good measure.

 

[BassikLee]

Two nice basses. What's that short scale six string? A piccolo bass of some sort?

 

[geoff_in_nc]

Does anyone know the truss rod allen key size for a Peavey Axcelerator 5?

5/32" and 3/16" seem close, but don't seem to be engaging right.

@geoff

It's a metric 4mm Allen key you need.

 

[BassikLee]

Correction, there WAS one on reverb. This will be my first deal thru them. Will arrive tomorrow. Looks to be almost NOS clean.

No wonder mine didn't fit right! Thanks!

SO you got that G bass on REverb? I was looking at it all last month. Congrats.

 

[BassikLee]

Yep. Listed at 799. Offered them less, they took it. Same $$ as the one I just got on ebay. It will arrive tomorrow. Still have offers pending on two others.

I was thinking of grabbing that one too!

I still wish I could swing a GV but with my bass budget being low and the available stock being purchased, I will have to wait until the action on them dies down a bit. Enjoy our bunch of them BassikLee.

Beautiful basses so far in this thread.

 

[BassikLee]

They are out there. Seems the going rate on these tops out around $700. I've seen them go for much less. They are a truly world class bass, compare extremely well to the modulus basses. I'm not just saying that.

Looky what I just scored, and at a good price...US Foundation 2000 5'er! I've heard that these are supposedly rare, and this one comes with the bombproof OHSC, too. I'm going to have an active 3 or 4-band preamp installed, either an Audere or Pope (Audere is a good chunk cheaper). It's supposedly in awesome shape, and I didn't have to pay shipping, because I'm picking it up the morning after our gig that just happens to be in the seller's city...BOOYAH!

 

[BassikLee]

Great bass. Never seen one of those before. The foundation 2000s I have seen had more of the regular foundation shaped body, and pickups that weren't as long. Your bass has more of the Millenium/G-V body shape, and longer pickups like the cirrus or G-V. Great score!!

 

[BassikLee]

Bad pic, but that's what I think of when I think foundation 2000.

An image search showed plenty of them like yours tho.

 

[BassikLee]

So my burst GV arrived from Reverb. Really nice. One ding on the back edge, which was clearly shown in the pics.

Prepping her and her cousin. Neck swap. Graphite neck onto millenium body, wooden neck onto GV body. Film at 11. I'll take a few pics.

I had one almost the same color, but yours looks new. Congrats on a great find!

I've never seen a peavey in that color, that color is gorgeous especially when contrasted with black pickups. Congrats.

Operation successful. Given that they both have black headstocks, and pao ferro (spelling?) boards, the look didn't change much. Now I have the following US Peavey fives:

Cirrus
Stock GV
MILLY/GV hybrid
GV/MILLY hybrid

Still looking for more GV basses. I might grab a foundation 5 with SF pickups. Definitely looking for a TL-5, and maybe a Forum 5. Great basses, woefully underrated.

There are a number of TL's out there for sale right now. There are two nice 6's on Reverb, and a 5, for starters....
