DAYUM That is a sexy beast!!!I have no idea what possessed me to get this one...I honestly didn’t think my bid would come close to cutting it.
Heck, I can barely handle 4 strings in the bass register...where the strings are more like cables
But I won the bidding, so here it is in all of its flamey blue splendor!!!
A late 80s/early 90s(haven’t dated it yet-preamp board has April 89 on it) Peavey TL-Six:

Sorry, I lost the sun for the pic’s, but hey....this thing is crazy!
So far:
Plays well.
Cleaned up well.
Makes a decent sound.(needs some work-someone’s been up to something with the pickups, but it functions)
Active, AND Passive!(both work, well. Just as they should)
Pretty good shape for 30-ish years old.
And it’s Blue!!! The color of justice!

Congratulations on a fine bass,
I am like some of the other members, I would be lost with the 6 strings

OP
BOOM
It gets better looking every time I look @ it
Hey a big CONGRATS DON she's a real BEAUTY!!! Rockin the colour Bro. Very SWEET!!
Thanks guys!!!
The six strings is kinda weird, but I’m getting used to it. I imagine that it’s not too different from getting used to a seven string guitar, or a baritone guitar.
Last night, it actually got to be fairly comfortable to play after a while....so, practice, practice, practice it is.

Very nice
The high C probably makes sense for bassists. It makes each string as you go lower a fifth of the one above it, or more accurately each string is a fourth of the one below it as you go higher
If we did this on a guitar the tuning would be EADGCF or BEADGCF for a seven-string
