I have a pair of second generation TL5’s and they sound great. The generation 2 electronics sound similar to the Cirrus but have a bit more edge IMO.
Okay guys, I need some Peavey help. I have a US Millennium that I bought a few weeks ago, and now I'm having some trouble with it. The problem? I'm getting no output. Like, none. I replaced the batteries right after I got it, and I don't leave it plugged in. I've tried adjusting all of the knobs: blend, volume, EQ; none of it has any effect. I opened up the back panel and everything seems fine, but I'm not an expert. I'm going to take it back to the shop and let them try to diagnose it, but I thought that maybe this was a common problem with a simple solution. Any help?
A broken wire from the battery connector or a faulty out put jack are the probable cause. It is also possible the battery wiring is not correct and it stays on all the time even with no cable plugged into the output jack. Try a new battery first. These basses do not have a history of problems.

Hola a todos, espero no llegar tarde, tengo conmigo una madera natural T40 1982, soy parte del club! En el próximo correo electrónico enviaré fotos de mi t40 y la forma en que funciona el selector de 3 vías que me dio la tarea de ver cómo funciona, debo decir que soy un entusiasta novato (a los 54 años, ja, ja)
Is that a new app ?
Oh I hope not! I'd hate to have to deal with the regulatory guys on THAT!
Might be able to get this Peavey Foundation here locally. Don't the year,but is Red,with rosewood fret board,with OHSC,for less than $150. Suppose to meet up with the seller later this week.
I am looking for 2 Peavey basses. Please let me know if you know of anyone having either for sale. Bass must be in excellent to mint condition.
Millennium plus 5 with pau ferro fingerboard in OHSC.
Palaedium in the OHSC.
Thanks for your help!

If anyone wants to hear a clear deck recording of a Millenium Plus 5, PM me.. just got a pack of MP3s
Hey Chuck - Did you get inspired to buy a Palaedium from the video ? It turns out he's US Peavey Club member #421
Not really. Just got reminded that I have wanted one for a while. Every time I see one it is either beat to death or priced too high. Jeff Berlin has influenced my education as a bassist with his rather pointed observations about how bass is taught. I have always admired his tone and how he plays and would much rather have a Peavey than a Cort!
Yeah, I was just kidding. I figured the video was just an appetizer. Yeah, Jeff Berlin is the man. Happy New Year, brother. - Mike
Saw Jeff a few months back in Nashville, met Billy Sheehan too. Jeff wasn’t near the ###hole that some say he is. I left there a new fan of Berlin... what a master! And of course, I got to meet a hero of mine! Billy is a true gentleman and so humble!
Yes. I have successfully done spin a split on quite a few instruments, including my Ibanez platformed T45 clone. I think it has something to do with the traditional VVT wiring sending the pickup input to the wiper vs the resistive track on a switched harness..?
Either way, I didn't want to replace a perfectly good factory pot for a push/pull, already had a mini DPDT switch in the parts drawer and therefore didn't mind drilling a switch into this body that got all routed up for the mods. I do prefer a switch for splitting you get full tone control usage in split mode and a little more top end air in humbucking mode. Those S curve pots used in spin a split Peaveys (and subsequent models like my early Foundations-I'm sure they were just using up the parts) are kind of cool as a traditional tone control. They roll off rather slowly at the top of the range, then dump as expected in the middle, then roll off slowly again at the bottom.
I have a somewhat weak and disabled SF I would be willing to have Xrayed.
Just got my 1992 Peavey Fury. Sounds great and overall nice condition. Only missing the truss rod cover, but shouldn't be hard to find one out there.
A Peavey Club member again. (My first bass back in the early 90's was a Foundation "S" active, but sold that many years ago - wish I had it now).
