Pea Turgh

I think some boffins wrote a program to buy anything under 50 squid. They chuck em on eBay then, not mentioning origin and charging full whack. Naughty people. I only ever managed to get one - bought it as I was so shocked it hadn’t sold already. Sold it two days later to a mate (for the same price, with full disclosure of course!)

I’d be tempted to remove the big bit of black plastic with Hughes & Kettner so you could have just one big square of grey/silvery grill cloth. It’d look pretty 50’s I reckon!

If a modification is reversible, and you like everything else about the bass, I’d swap pups.

TWO nice bottles of wine!

I like the look of that first one - any more pics? I think you should make a thread in the gear porn section of all your completed builds.

Thank you Mr Fleabag for the Peavey 2x10 cab modded with Beyma drivers! Good communications, speedy delivery, well packed - A smooth transaction. i heartily recommend!

Love a good back story! They look quite a bit like Bass Collection ones, don’t they?

Weirdly, I think it looks alright. And I don’t usually like relics. Or Warwicks. But I’d never spend 5k on any bass!

Maybe it just needs running in?

Get him a box of wine and help him out!

Loving this - what a find!

The for sale sections here are ace - could’ve saved myself a packet doing my homework then shopping here!

Cab-wise I just bought one of two Peavey cabs from Fleabag on ‘ere that he’d upgraded the drivers with Beyma’s. 2x10, 400w @ 4 ohms. Im yet to use it in anger, but the sound I’m getting in the house is very promising. £105 delivered! Might be a good cheap yet highly effective option for you.

I’ve never before wanted a modern looking, and/or 6 string bass. However; if my lotto ticket is a winner I’m getting one of these! It’s beautiful.

Yes!

From what I understand, Behringer have been known to exaggerate wattage in the past!

I was just trying to think “when have I ever played a stage that dark?!” I remembered then - about 20 years ago playing a pub gig with a rock band, ALL the power goes out (amp too, so still no use for LEDs!). The drummer being an entertainer through and through starts playing and singing at the top of his voice We Will Rock You by Queen. The whole pub joined in. Excellent.

Chocolate thunder?!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Let’s hope he’s not a Basschat member then... awkward! I really wanted LEDs in the 90’s.

Omg that’s fantastic! That neck wood grain!

That’s a nice wall!

I’ll be the controversial one, then! As much as I love Fenders, sometimes I think the tuners look stupid. There; I said it! A full set of “T” (or are they called “Y”?) shaped ones would look fine, but if the rest of the hardware is that dark chrome I’d look for replacements in that colour.
