This one was my favourite of the US basses. Patriot, cheapest model they ever made 🙂 Really enjoyed the simplicity of it, set me down the path of single coil P-basses 👍

It wasn't an issue if you hold it like a classical guitar, lower horn hooked over your left leg.

We are 12. But rehersals are always in the same place at the same time. If we are anything from 2 of us and up, we have a session.

Surely not much over 5 octaves?

Here's a scan from my Bromberg issue of "Bass player USA" i think these were made between 94-98 not sure how many but i was told mine was one of the later revisions (with the fixed Piezo) & Rick Tunner had A Lot to do with the design of the gubbins/pups (even before Peaveys signing on of Bromberg (RT is in BB's Backstage pass VHS talking about the project)...seems there was quite a bit of fall out after the release though and everyone went their separate ways never to speak again (or so im told) I know from my own research that there were a LOT of problems with the PCB/Electronics/piezo a number of players just ended up ripping it all out and fitting the Bartolini NTBT-918 preamp & piezo buffer as a replacement...something i looked at myself years ago. One thing i do dislike about this bass...you just can not play it sitting down...the hook on the lower horn is quite painful if balanced on your leg ! apart from that it's a stella bass (but quite marmite) Id like to try one of the Dean or Carvin All wood basses of brians design, again never seen one this side of the pond.

They did that. Trim pots on the back of the bass allowed you to set the output level for each string to pan the string left or right if you were going bi-amp. Sold mine last year to a fellow BC member. That's it to the right of my Palaedium. Selection of some other Peaveys I've owned.

Whoops... the video. 20260115_124629.mp4

3D printed Standard Beaverette mk3 all my design except some parts of the differential. All PLA except TPU driving wheels. Only non 3D printed parts RC gear, screws, ball races, motor and pinion and a few bits of cable.

Olympiad were actually pretty good though I prefer adagio, which are even cheaper

Bloody good gig at the Exchange tonight. Left us all buzzing. It was short notice so unrehearsed for ages. We have a big gig at the Earl Haig in February and two rehearsals to sort new material. After tonight happy we don't have to focus on the existing set.

20th Anniversary SR5 and it's less auspicious cousin.

I remember these! I don't think they were made for long. They were a beautiful, elegant design. Never seen one in the flesh but I remember Bass Player Magazine featured one, must have been sometime in the early '90's and they always looked lush to me. Didn't they have a piezo pickup in the bridge? I bet this is a beast of a bass. God knows what it would cost if it were made today.

Excellent. Out of interest, is it the NS Dimension 5 you have? If you ever fancied moving it on I'd be interested...
