I definitely had a Peavey bass when I was younger but cannot for the life of me remember what it was or even what it looked like. 🤔 I have a 1991 foundation fretless that I currently have up for sale but I always, always wanted a TL5. I stopped looking a few years back as I didn't want to go out of my way to finally find one, only to be disappointed that it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Same goes for the Yamaha BB5000.

What new gear should be produced?
neepheid replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Thankfully well out of my price range, even their more "affordable" offerings. -
Set of rack mount bars for a GK RB amp. I haven’t owned a GK amp for several years but they would have come off of either a 1001RB II or a 700RB III as I owned both. The bars are complete with all parts including screws. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. I took the photos myself and I am blind, so my apologies if they look like they were taken by a drunk person.

For sale, excellent condition. TWA Krytical Mass. Brassmaster style Fuzz with more than most! Huge sounding with plenty on tap. More tonal variations than other Brassmaster fuzzes in the market. Huge low end and gain on tap, all important clean blend and various 2 lpf's and a hpf for tones, choice of 3 position mids. Edge to add in some top end, bias to get those sputtering synth like sounds, phase inverter to take some low end out if gets too boomy, this can go loud! Web schpiel: Prepare for meltdown with the TWA KM-01 Krytical Mass®! Based on the coveted Maestro Bass Brassmaster, Krytical Mass® was born from exhaustive critical analysis into the inner workings of that Holy Grail device and the few noble attempts that have been made to clone it. Krytical Mass® spits out fat, formidable fuzz with a pronounced octave up as well as a more subtle octave down and a scorching, filter-like sweep on sustained notes. Muted notes will “kill” the fuzz with almost gate-like precision, yielding a super-tight, synth-like pulse that is simply addictive to play. Where other replicas tend to be harsh and sterile sounding, Krytical Mass® is able to capture the aggressive yet warm & organic edge of the original Brassmaster using a unique complement of EQ and voltage manipulation controls. One of the great mysteries of the Brassmaster is its unmarked transformer and how it was wound. Analysis suggests that this component may have actually been wired with negative polarity, so Krytical Mass® includes a switch to toggle between positive & negative phase wirings for additional tonal options. Another unique feature of Krytical Mass® is the ability to adjust the symmetry of the transformer to taste, accentuating either 2nd order harmonics for more lows or higher-order harmonics for more complex waveform content. Also on board are selectable HP, LP and BP filters with adjustable midrange to fine-tune Krytical Mass® to your particular tonal tastes. Fuzz sensitivity of Krytical Mass® can also be controlled via external EXP pedal for dynamic manipulation of the fuzz to create synth-like drive swells and other interesting effects.

I've had a few Peavy basses over the last 35 or so years, all have been solid even the budget lowend stuff held it's ground and played/sounded good I bought this Peavey Bromberg B-Quad (from this very forum) many moons ago....here it is after i made a ramp for it a while back.. the PCB had a fault when i got it (seller was upfront about the issue) where it would drain the battery even without the jack in, It took a while (like 8 months) but Peavey spares UK managed to find me a PCB from somewhere...(USA department didn't have any) after that i took it to many places to try to get someone to change it out but after they took a look a the wiring/soldering job they wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!.....so it went back in the case for a good 5 years un-played......Till i meet a guy on a training course who claimed to have been a PCB design engineer for various companies inc Laney...i told him about the bass/PCB issue and he said well bring it down and i'll do it for you no problem....next day at lunch, 20 mins later he'd swapped it all out and it was totally fixed! he then took the Old PCB home and fixed that too ! (it's in the case pocket as a backup) & he wouldn't even take any payment, so i bought him a bottle of brandy and some cigs...he's admitted vices. Lets just say the B Quad is not a very Polite bass but you can get pretty much any "modern" tone out of and the slap/tap it bell clear unlike any other bass i've ever played/owned (after all brian bromberg designed it to be this way as he's a bit of a slapper/tapper (even if it all feel apart with peavey after they released it) I've come close to selling it a few times as i mainly play 5's now but as soon as i pick it up i quickly reconsider, also if it went i doubt id find a 2nd to replace it as they are rockhorseshit rare atm it seems, it's been years since i saw another up for sale and I've never seen a 5 this side of the pond.

First show of 2026 and we played a micro brewery in Calne, Wiltshire. Super friendly staff and great little space. No real walk up (it was on an industrial estate) but we had 4 or 5 groups of people come especially to see us, which filled up the audience. The only low point was when I made a flippant joke about Red Hot Chilli Peppers (who, whilst not really being a fan, I certainly don’t have an issue with) and it transpired that everyone in the venue liked them! The bar man even put them on the stereo after our set! I never criticise other acts normally so I don’t know why I said it, but we soon clawed it back. No harm done. Afterwards, I was asked why I had six pedals when I only have two feet. A comment that I reflected heavily upon, whilst driving home in my manual car! We played well and I was pleased we pulled as many as we did. A good night.

Buddster started following It's "for charity"

We've done a few gig for charity, which generally we don't mind too much. We've also been asked to run the PA for multiband lineups. This we don't do for free. We do charge, but at a reduced rate. Pub.. We're running a charity event, do you mind playing for free. It's good exposure. Band.. Sure. We're planning an event of our own. Can you supply free beer? You can advertise your pub.

A faithful replica of the Gibson lo-z bass humbucker
neepheid replied to Basvarken's topic in Bass Guitars
I used one of these inline things when I was testing/repairing my Epiphone Jack Casady - I had to take the stock transformer out of the equation to prove that it was faulty. -
No worries, I just set it up as if it was a Fender and dialled in my usual settings (10 thou relief and 2.4mm string height at the 12th fret) and with the tapewounds (very used set of long scale D'Addarios) it has tamed the clank nicely and I am digging it a lot. It's more even across the strings than my mustangs and I haven't touched the pickup at all. The E and G string saddles are nearly on the deck though. It arrived with well over 3mm string height which made me more clanky especially with the 19mm spacing at the bridge to have to get used to like I was playing long scale again. Might take a bit to dial in with my usual pedals and settings as the output from it is so strong, so might not need the usual boost from the RC Booster that I use with passive basses, it's weird finally turning the input gain on the Double4 down to around half, instead of the usual full setting I use whilst wishing there was more input gain (hence the RCBooster). Not having the volume always on full is cool, more sonic variation available, and the tone control is much more subtle (with less extremes) than usual Fender set up, I haven't had a look under the hood so not sure how they get the OMG sound and what value cap(s?) and pots are in play. If anyone has an unwanted black or white pickguard for it I'd be interested, though the tort isn't unbearable, as it's fairly dark and not too red.
