U.S. Peavey Club

It is a unique bass ... pic from our Halloween gig

;) ... Our singer Denise as what else a cat

Of course she is. :) Cool!
 
Is a Cirrus 5 a "better" bass than a Millennium Plus 5? What would make you choose one over the other? I know that some of you have owned a Millennium in the past and sold it when you got your Cirrus because the Millennium sat unplayed - why did you play the Cirrus more than the Millennium?

Thanks!

I'd like to know too.

Anyway, here's a pic of my USA Millennium Plus 4:

There is a Peavey Unity at a local pawn shop that I had a question about. I am familiar with both the Dyna -Bass and Foundation Unity series, but this bass is just labeled Peavey Unity. It has the stepped headstock like most late '90's Peaveys,is neck-through, and has P-J pickups(Not labeled Foundation S). Is this bass active or passive. It doesn't have a separate compartment, but I have seen Peavey place the battery in the control cavity on lots of basses. It only has one tone control which leads me to think it is passive, but I have seen Peavey use boost only preamps before so this also doesn't convince me. Can anyone who has played one of these shed some light on my question and give me your basic impression of the instrument? It is under $200 and is in great condition,but I want to know more about it before I pull the trigger on one more bass I don't really need.

Does it look like the one in the pic at the top of this page?

If so my guess would be passive EQ with vol/blend/tone. Under $200? Great deal if a neck through PJ is your thing.
 
Hey thanks. When I saw it a couple years ago I couldn't resist. I would love to find a matching fretted version in black or natural but I have never come across one.

Originally made for Norm Stockton and purchased from a fellow t'ber off of Craigslist.

I have his DVD's and that's where I started to get the GAS from...well, I had GAS for them when they came out in the 90's and once I saw it on the DVD, my GAS flared back up.

My understanding is that Norm played in on a tapping solo on one of his DVD in the 90's and then the bass sat in storage for awhile before being sold. It looked practically new when I received it.

If you haven't played a B quad yet they are certainly worth the prices they fetch on Ebay. The neck is just fantastic and I get a very clear and growly tone. Great in the lower mid's.

Only problem I now am running into is finding someone that can deal with the electronics. Apparently some of the electronic components are unusual or hard to work on. Oh well, small price to pay.
