Guard them closely. The Atlantic ain't much of a hinderence to the determined Peavey player who can doggy paddle
Avast...there be pirates!!!
back to you.
Best you an the powder monkey batten down the hatches. No time for black jacks, this old salt is 3 sheets to the wind an on his way !!Avast...there be pirates!!!
I just remember back in ‘90 going to Broadway Sound here in Knoxville (Peavey dealer) and watching the guy use a long T handle truss tool on my Foundation. Probably a pro level tool.
One could make something like that pretty easily out of a section of the screwdriver I linked, and a cutoff 5/16 allen wrench
Nothing wrong with it for sure. But, it’s not worth that kinda dough. I would think the dark burgundy is more rare. 3t burst is hard to find too. And isn’t there a trans red/black burst?
I lucked out that the 6 Peaveys I have/had all worked with a standard Gibson TR wrench.

That’s the one I have. But, it wasn’t deep enough to reach my latest T-40 nut. Still wanna get my own deep socket so I don’t have to borrow my buddy’s.
Yeah, I've owned over a dozen, and none were recessed to the point that a Gibson wrench wouldn't work on them - although two of them required some wood removal before the wrench would fit in there...
I've got that TR wrench that MN showed - it doesn't get down there far enough. I chiseled at it last night, and I have a thin wall socket that I think fits - I just need to get a 1/4" flex extension. Again - there are no threads on the rod showing above the nut, so I'm quite sure the nut has not been cranked down. I really don't want to have to take the tuners off to adjust the truss rod!
That’s weird. My Allparts tool wasn’t deep enough cause I had over 1/4” of thread showing above the nut, keeping the tool from being able to grab the nut. With the thin wall deep socket, the flex extension was needed cause the socket driver was too big around, hitting the headstock, making the angle wrong.
I have used the blair cutter (hollow drill bit) to clear some wood out and yes, i did NOT want to take a chance, so i removed a tuner etc......thin wall deep socket....worked great no issues.
I had to 'really do some trussrod tightening' on 2 of my 80's Peavey basses, so i couldnt risk damaging the trussrod nut.
It took several rounds but all is well now.....all 3 of my Peavey basses play outstanding...well worth the trouble!
Am loving the sustain on the T40 ok it's heavy but the notes seem to just go on for ever and the playing is effortless...... Just wow.....how is everyone not playing these? Tuners are a little tight but it came with unfitted new set. Any handy tips for the tight pegs other than lubricant?
