I have a Peavey 5 question. Are their 5ers narrow spacing? I have gotten so used to the wide/19mm spacing that I can't go back.
It would be great to have an early Foundation 5 painted something 80s for my tribute band, but if the spacing doesn't jive...

IIRC, my Foundation 5 was 17mm at the bridge, and is 1.75" at the nut... I installed a MIM Fender 5 string bridge, and that brought it out to 17.5mm - and now it feels almost exactly like my EBMM Sterling 5 HS...
The US made Milly is about 17.5/18mm. Will the bridge go wider? Sure. I'm not a huge fan of having the strings off the edge of the neck tho.
Agreed...was just thinking of the adjustability....could possibly be useful. My 4 goes to 19. The 5's must be different.
Hey jjk2007..your TL has a big sister..my Lucy.
'91 Peavey Dyna Bass 5 (Peavey stickers took me ages to cut out of Contact book covering and stick on 26 years ago loll)

I don't know about the bullet guitar cases but the bullet bass cases fit the T series, 80's Fury/Foundation/Dyna/etc. shapes perfectly. The 90's re-sculpted body will fit the bullet case very closely although not perfectly. The 90's basses came with rectangular cases with the large embossed Peavey logo. They will only fit the 90's re-sculpted body. The older shape will not fit the rectangular case.
T Series guitars fit in those. I have seen several T-15 guitars with those cases. Some of the cases even have a small practice amp built into the case. Like most of them yours is missing a ton of foam. The glue would either separate from the foam or the foam would turn into powder with age.
Very nice! I do have to say mine's an '89 so I think you have the little sister....
. Nice work with the stickers on pickups too......that's dedication right there!

That stinks. I hate that for you. Keep us posted on how things progress. Just out of curiosity, how does it sound passive?

Honestly it sounds decent, it's just a bummer that I lose out on the EQ mobility, especially since the preamp is NLA from Peavey. It looks like a partial refund will be how things go, we shall see.
I can try to get a sound clip at some point!

Some Peaveys at GC right now....
Sunburst T-40, rosewood fretboard for sale for $399 with the Peavey case.
The T-40 is missing the toggle switches though, but toggle switches are cheap to buy.

Zodiac BXP for $149.

So peavey is now making an American guitar again
You guys think there is potential for an American made bass again?
