there have been many --- but most are gone now --
I still have the ONLY Telecaster that has ever STUCK-- USA made PEavey Generation
ANd the neck through 90's era Unity Bass
and last but certainly not least -- the HOT DIRTY DIGITS loaded Peavey Patriot all mahagony body maple neck -- this little 80's era realic RIPS on many levels
came to me in rather rough shape-- @Hackmaster took pitty on it and me -- and handled
Soldering
clear coating and polishing
new switch
new hand made custom "E" string saddle (it had a fender one jammed in the odd ball bridge/tailpiece and finding a factory proved impossible
re wiring
(posts and input_
custom TRC
new pick-guard (based on original layout -- different pup sizes)
it is TRULY a wolf in sheeps clothing now
KUDOS Hack -- another masterpiece from the wood shed

Awesome Collection of Peavey Guitars and Basses! :dood:
I see different models of the guitars on CL, but hardly ever the natural wood grain basses.
Are the basses in the pics considered short scale......
For future reference, whats a good used price for one...
Thanks!

no they are full LOOOOONG scale -- the T-40 is a full 46.5 inches stem to stern and weights in at almost 13 lbs----which is why I call it the BIG BAMBOO
the red one is 45" and MUCH lighter neck through sculped body THIN fast neck -- its like night and day to the T-40
only BIGGER bss I own is the Thunderbird which is right at 50"!!! -- I know size doesnt = scale but....you know they are long scale--
DUde prices run the gammit-- and the OLD stuff is the natural wood like mine 70's era -- the Patriot is 80's -- the red ones 90's then they started getting JIGGGY --- weird models
(Mantis-- and Rotors and Razors and Reactors-----)
here is a good "cheat sheet" -0- you can always PM me if your looking AT one inparticular and Ill let you know if its a stud or a dud -- its very tricky --
but any of the OLD 70's and 80's stuff is USA lines get blurred in the 90s and by the 2000's most all are foreign made (they dont SUCK byut the way and many are on par with Squire and Epiphone for sure)

Not sure if it was the angle but your photo looks more normal. It might just be that the other one need to have its claw adjusted tighter
