That looks prettty awesome, and yes Giblin was on a few KB tracks , as was David Paton, another fine bassist who played on 8 of the tracks on her first album and 5 tracks on her second
Yes i see the bridge is not original , as bridge pup is not that close to the bridge on the 900
But the measurement from the 12th fret will be accurate
I can only repeat - use the 715x
It may not have the 12 band EQ or dual compressor of my SMX, but if you cant get a suitable tone out of a TE, you need to see a specialist
Just because, here's the other 2 colours Peavey issued for that model
I think the dark one is called T-Black, though it was really some kind of nice burgundy/brown. Cant remember what they called the light red model. It'll be on the web somewhere.
That's a fine looking axe. Maybe thats the sweet spot, but tone is personal so it wont be the sweet spot for everyone, but i'm kind of thinking somewhere there abouts.
