For sure it's a type A. I emailed the folks at Hipshot asking - just checking here in case anyone already new.
I think I'll end up replacing all of the screws at the same time to make sure they all take the same allen wrench.
Although the original bridges on those weren't much to write home about lolWrong bridge too.
GV Update - Gone
thanks for being so cool... the sunburst GV found a very cool home.

Old DynaBass up for sale. It's a little overpriced and it looks like someone drew on it, so ....

Converted fretless G-Bass here on TB. Anyone want to fill him on the necks not being made by Modulus?
For Sale/Trade - Awesome fretless USA Peavey G-Bass with epoxied fingerboard - mwah mwah mwahhhhhh...

That's a pretty bass. He might be holding onto it for a while at that price. That's collector money and I'm not sure that a Dyna Bass can get there even with the Entwistle provenance.
That fretless conversion is fantastic. Very well done.
Yeah, Entwistle was cool, but a little bit of sharpie on the back of a bass doesn't add $5000
This is one thing that came up when I worked at the store. He signed it and played it? Cool.... prove it. One customer won a Peavey Wolfgang guitar giveaway. EVH came to the store and met him, signed it, etc. He made sure to get a photo with him, him signing the guitar, and one with him and the serial number showing... all that good stuff in case he ever sold it.

Took a break from the T-20 so I can comment on the Tragic & Void.
2 interesting Peaveys. The guitar side came first, basses didn't appear until 2011. My guess is Peavey though they had heavy metal players covered with the Dave Ellefson Zodiac DE Scorpios. Dave finished up in 2010 hence the PXDs the following year.
They come from Peavey's Chinese days. Back then they were giving the factories a realistic budget and Mike Powers was over there in charge. Both were well constructed with great finishes. The through necks are lovely and a change from the standard 1 1/2" nut. G&B again were providing the pickups and preamp, 18v powering both. Hardware are Gotoh and ABM clones.
Body shape throws the balance off slightly but not by much, just a little dive. If you like the peg head at 2 o'clock, these prefer 3 pm
Not the lightest, my two nudge past 10lbs.
They were a bold move for Peavey's last original bass design.

GC has a black/black Patriot Bass listed as great condition with a case for $299.
Looks all stock, has Titan tuners and even the fancy Peavey neck-plate.
Might not be a give-away price but it's looks like a really nice bass with a case for three hundred bucks.
I want it but I don't need it, somebody buy it and relieve my GAS.
Seems every Patriot I look at was built on a good day at Peavey, the neck/strings/bridge alignment always looks centered properly ..which seemed to be a challenge at Peavey on some days.
My mahogany Patriot has the tightest neck pocket of all the Peaveys I've had here, the control cavity is also soldered cleaner than any other Peavey I've had here.

I never understood treating music gear like sports memorabilia. In sports I get it -- the target player is going to sign the game ball and associated team gear. That stuff is only going to appeal to customers in comic and pawn shops.
Music gear is about the creation of the actual art. If a piece of gear was owned, recorded, and toured with, then it tends to yield a higher resale. Fans seeking autographs for money is campy and rubs me the wrong way.
I agree. I wouldnt mind having a bass signed by one of my favorite players (Les Claypool or Stu Hamm come to mind) but I wouldnt do it for financial/resale reasons. Back in 1998, I went to see Stu Hamm on tour with Joe Satriani. I met him after the show and he gave me a set of used and autographed strings. I've had them up on the wall in my workshop (yeah, on display) since.
It was a lot more fun than going to Jr Prom by myself.
I agree.
I spent a week figuring out and executing a signature removal from my Yamaha Attitude Custom bass, I like Billy Sheehan but a don't want a Sharpie autograph on the front of the body. I finally got it removed but it had been there for 20 years so it was not easy.
