U.S. Peavey Club

#124
Ok, Im in! Havent posted much lately but seeing that its a Peavey thread, Im in.

Current Rig: U.S. Cirrus 5 redwood top, TVX 410 4ohm, Combo 300.

Past Rigs: GV with custom metallic blue finish, Firebass 700.

I have LOVED all my Peavey gear and am a Peavey gear lover. Had my Cirrus for 7 years now, the longest Ive ever owned one bass, Ive had several other basses in the past but the Cirrus is the one I cant part with.

The TVX.....I still have it after many years WHILE owning a D410XLT, D410XST, Golliath II, Golliath III. Every cab except the TVX is gone.

The Combo 300 sounds incredible for a combo amp, I guess the BW helps out quite a bit. I use this in my house for my practice and for gigs the call for a drummer who uses electric drums, its nice to keep the stage volume down once in a while.

I let the other Peavey equipment go because I just didnt use 'em anymore and wanted to downsize. I still miss the GV, it had a great sound and feel.

I've had a Minx 110 amp for a bit, and just picked up an '83 T-40. Do I qualify? :)

I think I had to many beans because this thread is giving me GAS! Those T-40s look freakin awesome. I need to get one!

I love mine so far. I've seen some posts where people have gotten great deals on them, too. I paid $80 for mine. Just too good to pass up.

I should really get some better pics. Those don't do it justice. It's not mint by any means, but cell-phone cams only capture so much.

I would like to join :D
Just picked this up in a trade,
Peavey TL-5 - 1st generation (super ferrite pups)
I have owned a bunch of Peavey equipment over the years and you just can't beat the quality and reliability of Peavey
I currently play through a Peavey SessionBass amp.

'79 T-40. I have a Natural T-60 and was looking for a Natural T-40 to match. Found this on Craigslist and couldn't pass it up, but I'm still GASing for a Natural.

Count me in.

I first had a Grind 6, that got stolen along with two other basses and a bunch of other stuff. Luckily (mostly because one of my basses had a replacement value that far exceeded the price I actually paid for it) I was able to replace my three bass with a splendid Cirrus 6, with a bubinga top.

It's been four months now that I have it and I still can't believe how good this thing makes me sound. I use it with a Roland Dbass 210.

The only problem is that this is way too much bass for what I can actually justify with my playing... if you see what I mean. So, I am thinking of getting something less spectacular (like a peavey milleniumm, or the new Squire 5) for those gigs where the audience is mostly composed of the musicians who will play after you and who are thinking they are " better than you, so what the f... do you need such a great bass for..."

So what would be my membership number? Is it 45? Who decides that?

I know what you mean. It's kinid of embarrasing to come out with this megafantastic ultra-bass when your skills aren't there yet. But what the heck, right? Keep practicing, you'll grow into it. :)

Never mind trying to be justified in the eyes of your 'betters'- be justified in your own conscience by just getting down and playing the thing. You dig the bass? Done deal.

Those few insincere posers who might rail on your ability/instrument ratio are nothing but insecure egos needing a foothold with their 'friends'. The fact is that after you've been playing, learning and improving, you'll find you have earned your respectable place in the local pecking order- and they'll salute you. You may well blow right by 'em...

You just play your bass and grow into it, like the man said. :bassist:
