U.S. Peavey Club

[dangnewt]

I am now the proud owner of 1984 Peavey Foundation with Maple neck and Maple fretboard. Finished black body with all orginal hardware. May I join the club?

Sure, and while you are at it you should join the mighty Black and Maple Bass Owners Club.

Looking forward to some pics here and in BAMBOC.

I own the 4-string version of cb's 5-stringer (here strung with DR Black Beauties)
and a natural T-40 with some wild grain.

hey guys sorry it took me so long to do this, but i finally found enough time to take some pics and post um up here. here's a pic with all my gear, including my main bass of 6 years, a walnut Peavey Cirrus 5, and my Peavey Combo 115. I started on a Fury 4 with a TNT100 15"BW and I've been hooked on Peavey ever since. the rest of the gear is my GK 210 cab, and the newest addition to the family, my '92 BC Rich innovator 4, that i converted to a fretless. once again sorry it took so long.

and here we have a better pic of my precious Cirrus.

Nice looking Cirrus.Those combo 115 amps are pretty nice too,about just what you need for medium-small gigs especially with that 210.Nice gear.

Just scored an '81 T-40 with original case in great condition thinking I'd flip it for cash towards a five string, but I've fallen in love. What a cool bass. I'll try to get pics up, it's a beaut.

What do you guys use for a truss rod tool? My nut driver and socket both don't fit.

You can order a tool from Peavey or you can use a Gibson truss rod wrench. I think it's 5/16 but it's got narrower walls than a regular socket.

Great, thanks! Sounds similar to my Taylor acoustic truss rod, which unfortunately is a different size than the T-40's. I'll order one unless anyone else has a cheaper tool/option.

 

[CHILDISHGAMBINO]

You might be able to get/use one at your local shop. Most shops have a Gibson tool I would assume.

Go get a thin-wall socket that fits the exposed nut, and drill a hole through the socket sideways (through the walls of the socket) to allow the fitting through it of a small stem of steel- like a little allen wrench, or similar. There it is, a truss-rod tool.

Truss rod tools like these are not that expensive or hard to find... no need to drill holes in sockets and such.

Stewmac has them, and they're probably not even the cheapest source...

The 5/16" wrench for Gibson nut from Stewmac.com is the one I got for my Peavey T-40. Works perfectly with no need of drilling.

 

[Would'e?]

Is that the same one that would work with a Foundation?

 

[Count Bassie]

C'mon guys! Where's your sense of adventure? Where's that good ol' DIY spirit? Why go spend $10.95 when you can just squeeze it out of your forehead?!

I have a set of thin wall sockets and NEVER use the truss wrenches. They work much better, IMHO. Plus, I have a flexible shaft 1/4" extension that makes getting into the tough ones........easy Having a proper fitting socket with a 1/4" socket wrech provides a much better feel for making fine adjustments.

Well, let me share a little something here...I just spent entirely too much time last weekend "drilling" a hole in two sockets to make some riser extensions for my Sporty...two words: tool steel. Hard. If you have some cobalt drill bits...it's possible. Don't try it with HSS bits. Gave up on the drill press and went to a die grinder and carbide burr.
Much easier to get the durn wrench!

Two words: Cheap sockets! But I hear you on too much for too little. I've often found myself standing in a short line somewhere, avoiding the greater expense of time and effort. I'm also a believer in "Time + Energy = Money"...

 

[StarscreamG1]

While we are on the subject, ALL of my basses need truss rod adjustments etc... 2 foundations, t40, dyna, precision and eventually my VMJ will need it ... let me guess they are all different sizes right? Call peavey on the peaveys, call fender on the fender and squier? and call it a day?

 

[FL Knifemaker]

Is it a Peavey Chip Todd Custom basslet? This is a Peavey thread - not the classifieds.

 

[fourstringbliss]

No need to be a douchebag fourstring.

Hmm...

Didn't think I was being that offensive.

It just seemed a strange place to talk about a non Peavey bass. It just seemed like you were hijacking a thread with classifieds stuff.

My apologies to anyone who was offended.
