Looks like that great old unit is in very good shape JB...Looks like it was made yesterday, so well done. I think you may be able to pick up a footswitch if you google them. I still have one floating about somewhere in my spare room..lol The old DIN type connection to the amp was a funny choice for a footswitch plug and from memory the cable wasnt that long either. I'll have to see if I can find it. If you do go looking for a footswitch be careful though that you get the correct one as they made a lot of different types for guitar amps and bass amps etc for different functions and differing amount of buttons too. I know my MKIV Bass amp takes a different switch than most other Peavey amps. You'll see how many types there are with a simple google search..lol

I am also 59....my surgeries were at 23, 28, 30, 37, 40, 47, 50, 58.
Recovery time from surgery does get longer as I get older for sure, seems that is even the case recovering from a really heavy day of labor,
...I hobble out of bed the next morning feeling like I've been beaten with a stick!!
Giff, the vasectomy was not really painful for me after the deed was done. ...think maybe I got lucky.
Best of luck in however recovery goes for Shawn.
Thank you 58 kites they did the operation last Wednesday, got rushed back in on Thursday night due to just over 700ml of bile swilling round my upper right quadrant
. Back in surgery Friday morning to repair the damage, then having a stent put in on Monday afternoon to re-route any excess bile to it's rightful course. I'm 51 this year my last operation was when I was 34.
I’m 46 and you guys are filling me with dread!!! Best wishes and speedy recovery.... but dang, I’m scared now LOL
It’s not perfect, but it seems to work like it should.
I’ve done the internet searches and have found some images, but no footswitches for sale.
Check this old thread here on TB and see if you can dig any extra info up about the amp or the footswitch JB
Teach me about this Peavey 400 Series Bass Amp, please!
Manual can be found here...

I am very sorry to hear that, it sucks to work hard all your life and then have the stuff hit the fan when it's time to relax a bit.
Still felt pretty bullet-proof into my late 40's.. I have a harder time keeping up with the young guys (work and play) in my mid to late 50's, but overall have very few health problems.
I've had a lot of repairs to various broken/damaged/worn out parts but my back, knees, hips, shoulders and feet are fine and internally everything is working good.
My parents are 95 and 92 and are pretty okay, not sure what will take them to the great beyond.

Can't take anything for granted, that's for sure. Enjoy life every day and do all you can to take care of yourself. I'm 57 and surgery free until last year, my left proximal hamstring came loose from my pelvis in a fall on the ice and had to be surgically re-attached. I'll never be the same but I've made great progress. As my name suggests, I was a runner and that was taken away from me when I fell. I just ran my first 5k after the fall last weekend. I struggled but finished and I'll keep pushing to do more. Other than that I'm healthy and medication free which I'm thankful for.
Even with all our medical woes "we" still have exceptional taste when it comes to bass guitars

Whatever it turns out to be, it will probably happen rapidly. I just finished up 9 years of primary care giving for my mom. She was doing so well, with no apparent health issues, that I really thought she would go on well beyond 100. Mostly smooth sailing until near the end when she went into sudden sharp decline. It was like she had an internal clock that expired and forced her body to just "shut down". She made it to age 99. RIP, Mom.
92 and 95 are way beyond the norm.....over 1/3 of my class has passed or serious health issues.
I did have one aunt live to be 98....she was very weak and frail the last years, no quality of life.
I want to keep doing physical things...no desire to sit in a chair all day long which some are content to do, but thats not me!
I've been doing hospice care for most of the last nine years or so, as an aide. I'm currently in a nursing program. I plan to do hospice care for the rest of my working days.
As for basses, yes that axcelerator from GC had quite a healthy bow to the neck, and the action was high even with the saddles bottomed out. The good news is that the truss rod works fine, and the bass is equipped with a microtilt adjustment. As such, a few minutes with a couple allen wrenches, and she's a keeper. Gig report after tomorrow night.

Hey k
Awesome - and MUCH respect for you being in hospice care. Both of my parents benefitted from that amazing program and the angels that are at the heart of it.
Looking forward to the gig report!

Well for the first time since I had my operations last week, I have managed to have a little play of my Foundation Custom (thanks to Giffro for posting the catologues never knew that). Anyhow found a comfortable sitting position and just had a quick run through some bass lines, very happy indeed .

Hey, last week I saw a green Accelerator at Value Pawn on South OBT in Orlando.
So..... if a guy already has 2 US Milly 5's, and he found a third one for sale (that happened to be a 5+BN with matching headstock and insane birdseye maple neck, and it looks like it's never been played).... should he buy it?
asking for a friend....
