Wonderful set of La Bella flats arrived from Cal this afternoon. Cal's a good guy so expect an easy painless transaction if you deal with him.

Top Man is Lee 🙂 Bought some pedal connectors from him last week. Very easy fella to deal with. He gets my vote of confidence.

Same deal as happened with the Jeff Berlin Palaedium. The design belongs to the Player not Peavey. Jeff went to Cort and Brian moved on to Carvin and Dean.

40+ I have a lot of basses 😃

Here was me thinking Manton was talking about chambers not cavities. Sorry folks.

@Manton Customs The OP thinks the pickup area is made from MDF. They cut a big hole then place pieces in to house the pickups.

Parcelforce won't insure guitars unless in a hardcase,there's a poster on the wall in the Edinburgh depot explaining this. No idea if they cover damage to the case. Was in there Monday night. 19hrs Edinburgh to Redruth for £9.78 😎

Have I got this right,you think they cut out a square then drop in MDF pieces with the pickups already cut ? That makes absolutely no sense. It would take the same time to rout out a big section as it would for the pickups. Then they'd be back with the router when the top was added. Been a carpenter 35 years,the MDF pieces would be a huge waste of time and money.

My pal over in Florida bought the J/MM and the P/MM,both in 5 string flavour. He didn't say they were the best basses in the world (says those are his Peavey G-Vs) but he was more than happy and is keeping both 🙂

Not surprised none of those Foundations sold. Over-priced for the UK market, different story over in America. @fleabag Your memory is correct,those are single coils.mid 90's Peavey were getting pickups from Korea and to cut costs further used the same shells,this has lead to folks claiming mid 90's Foundations have VFL pickups. They don't, VFLs are active pickups. @Bassassin The T20 didn't last too long. It got a reshape and was renamed the Fury. More confusion followed when later Furys got skinny jazz necks and standard split-P pickup,Poplar bodies too. My old T20 is beat to hell but weighs just 9lb,a lightweight compared to my 10.5lb 1st gen Fury. If you fancy trying one,drop me a line. @WHUFC BASS ebay sold listings give £400 to £550 as the price range for T40s,not such a high price tag for a legendary bass. Owning 4 of them you can bet I wish folks payed Reverb prices 😃

I've bought basses from Germany a few times,both private and ebay sales. Bank transfers are free or almost free over there . so most tend not to use Paypal. Sending money through Transferwise will save you a packet,better rates and no fee for starters. Regarding PP/ebay buyer protection. I'll admit to feeling uneasy putting money in a stranger's bank account but then the goodies arrive and I feel a total derrière for doubting them.

Sensible move 🙂 It's a shame Peavey's Artists division didn't work harder at promoting these. Fingers crossed you get a sale quickly 😎

I very much doubt you want to hear this but I bought my Tragic PXD for £150. The white Void was £50 !! Those daft prices don't mean much as they certainly don't reflect the quality. Peavey were very hands-on with their Chinese builds,the PXDs are damn fine basses. I'd say ask for £200. Hardest thing is finding somebody who knows the PXD basses exist.

I sold my Traben to a pal few years back. It was the bog standard Neo so no Duncans or D-tuner 🙂 From what I recall it was a bright sounding bass,that could've been the Roto Nexus strings. Nothing comes to mind as below par in fact my abiding memory is the pots felt very smooth and robust.

Nah, you're back on the ignore list.

Question asked was P/MM pickup positions. Your input is where ?

Looks good. Congratulations are in order 🙂

@arthurhenry Looking at that lot,there's no way I'd let you near a jukebox 😃

The Retrovibe Super-P is a P/MM. I get 730mm to the split in the P and 805mm to the centre of the MM.

Do you think that applies to Anthony Jackson, Victor Wooten or Bona and Garrison ?

Who says it's not scientific 🙂 You're trying to help and it's greatly appreciated 👍

I thought about that. The USA bolt on 5 string Grinds were 35" but don't come up often,folks are asking daft prices too. I've yet to see a BXP Grind 5'er but the 4 string is 34". The neck thru Grinds were 35" so it's still an option,though it'll be expensive removing the neck then reshaping it for the Cirrus pocket. Thanks again for your input.

Many thanks Vinny. I've posted this question in various places and your reply is helps to make the picture clear. Looks like my pal is out of luck.

Aye. You're dead right there. Of course contributors to Vinny's pension fund should just ignore it 😄

@lemmywinks If you do buy one and hit a snag,well don't panic. Nate who runs Guitar Fuel is a sound fella, I was convinced the blend pot was dodgy in the Tune Bass Maniac,forgot I'd put a T Monster in that 😃 Anyway he just posted me over a replacement. No shipping fee got mentioned. I've a spare 4 knob version in the drawer if you fancy trying before buying 👍
