Now, this is a collection!

And some of these sure give me some G.A.S.

Remember to visit when in Scotland Added Artec SE-2 preamp & Status .40 - .100 tapes to T-40 this morning Wired humbucker mode only. Very nice

Can't help myself Korean Furys come in II,IV and V flavours and were among the last basses Mike Powers (RIP) designed. I'd been holding on for one of the pretty quilted top models but things have been quiet in Scotland

This graphite grey arrived on Tuesday.



With the pickup placement and 3 band EQ I was hoping it would be like the G-bass or Forum. If it had an 18v preamp instead of 9v I think it would.Can't fault the build or finish,neck is good. Bass is very light.

130euro well spent

[kodiakblair]

For just 6200 euro it's a shame the seller doesn't have 2 for sale

 

[kodiakblair]

How do you tell triplets apart ?

Answer on a postcard please

 

[Gast72603]

ahhhhhhhhh

 

[Kong]

Why postcard? Is there something to win, actually?

Again, nice collection! Its a shame I didn't dig them Peaveys earlier, because my flock is at a point where I can't start to collect another brand. Would double the ammount of basses - and lead to the question: Who for Croms balls is about to stay in my flat, me or the basses. No room for all of us.

 

[kodiakblair]

Nobody noticed what is different about the T40's ?

 

[Kong]

There is a knob missing on the five - banger.

When have you ever saw a 5 string T40 ?

Sakrileg !!!!!!!!
Ein T40 hat 4 Saiten zu haben - das ist eine plumpe Chinagurke . . .
. . . oder die Laubsägearbeit eines Wahnsinnigen.

Done by my own fair hands Standard T40 neck just with 5 string nut. Mono saddles giving 16mm string spacing.

 

[Kong]

Well, this is not fair!

It just looks as it should be a 5-banger.

Btw., 16mm are a bit too narrow for me. I need 17,5 mm string spacing (as on my Stingray 5ers) at last! No problem dealing with 5-bangers that have 19 mm string spacing as my Vychodil P5.

 

[kodiakblair]

Sorry @Kong
It was a sneaky trick Sadly the string spacing is set by the huge bridge and it being a 4 string neck. 17.5mm would have strings off the fretboard.
Previous owner had attempted the 5 string work but had made a mess of it When I got it on Tuesday it was back to 4 strings except for a huge hole drillled in the headstock I had the choice of throwing the neck away or doing a better job converting to 5 strings.

 

[Schrotty]

Sometimes death is a mercy . . .

 

[Kong]

@kodiakblair: You did a nice job, though.

As I sayd before, it looks like it has to be that way. Brilliant! Even better, if you can deal with the narrow string spacing.

 

[kodiakblair]

Cheers @Kong

I'll survive the tighter spacing but see trouble ahead on another. More about the "other" later in the week

 

[kodiakblair]

The sickness is upon me again While heavily drugged after a hospital visit last week a fellow Scotsman alerted me to the TL-6. Before I knew it the deal was struck First experience of 6 strings and first experience of asymmetric neck. I like the neck,not to sure about 6 strings Pictures are on drugs too

No More Peaveys !!
