U.S. Peavey Club

I suppose I'll join the club as well. Here is my newly acquired 93 Foundation. You can read about it here: NGD: Early 1993 Peavey Foundation Project - PICS!

...and the word "Mint".

Interesting! I wonder if they stopped taking custom orders for the TL series after 92?

To the best of my recollection, this is where the factory was putting a ton of effort into high end and signature models.

The TL is kind of an offshoot of Foundation/Dyna era.

If memory serves correctly TL (Tim Landers) shifted his endorsement at this time.

Effort is correct, this bass is almost flawless. The sound coming from the instrument is almost perfect. I keep playing it then playing my Fodera, Benavente and Acacia. My ears and fingers aren't lying to me. It's that good.

Cleaned the frets up, still more work to do but I installed a spare set of string I had. I think I may go for light gauge on this bass. Truss is holding very well.

So at one point I decided I was going to collect all the TL6 colors made and got to 6 but never imagined there was a Koa one! That thing is awesome! The only other TL6 I saw that I didn’t have was white so if my math is correct they made 8 different finishes. Gratuitous picture follows!
