lol, yeah i did. Black with holoflake finish. The owner had 2 and prefered the burst finish on the other one he had. I wish it had the visible graphite neck but it has one of the plain black ones (ill live). Theres a few things id like to change on it including the knobs and tuners but aside form that i think im gonna leave it alone. I just need to know if the tuners on hipshot are the large sized ones and what size i need really. Theknobs i can figure out on my own. Ill get good pics a little later. Im not home and wont have time till probably tuesday.

On the topic of serial numbers, peavey kinda ticks me off by using stickers. Its not that big of a deal for most things since theres usually some way to identify what you have but sometimes its a headache.

On the serial # stickers.... There are susposed to be one or two "hidden" stickers that would be placed in locations where the unit would have to be pretty well disassembled to find. I've seen them under pcbs in amps, inside speaker cabs. I've never seen one in a bass/guitar but I may not have any from that era.

Floyd Eye..your Dyna would be awsome with my tux. :cool:

MTMTEX...that's quite a nice herd. I always really liked the TL-6 but the neck just doesn't fit my hand and I really tried. I need to find a TL-5 beater cheap enough I could mod with a P/J set. You need one more with the HBs.

Thanks Mech.

Too bad you're not near me, I'd let you borrow it. ;)

It's definitely not for sale. :D

Quick question for you guys since ill be treading into new territory. Ive never swapped pickups on any of my own basses and recently ive considered it. The problem i have is the pickup covers (or maybe its mre in depth). I want some EMG pickups in a beat up peavey im going to try and throw together. The porblem is the mounting of the EMG according to the pics on their site is a lot different (one or two screws on the left and right of the pickup) then the stock pickups (the 2 screws on the top and bottom of each pickup) currently in the body. Am i SOL as far as those pickups go and need to find something else or is there a way around it?

You just have to carefully drill new small pilot holes in the new positions. Carefully, because the body isn't very thick at that point and you don't want to drill all the way through the back of the bass. Take a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw, and then drill only as far as you need to. I measure the length I need to prevent drilling through, then wrap a piece of masking tape around the bit at the point so I can see just how far to go.

Ouch, i guess ill have to find some different pickups. I dont mind a little work but i dont like having to modify stuff to that extent unless i decide to find and put stock stuff back in later. Thanks for the info though.

I'm not sure what kind of pickup yours has, but if the screw holes are under the pickups they won't show if you put the original pickup back in. It is a simple job. I've done it on quite a few basses, and I'm no woodworker.
