PEAVEY TL-Six, the Tim Landers Signature! - *SOLD*

Really rare 1989 PEAVEY TL-Six, the Tim Landers Signature, a true Custom Shop model ! POSSIBLE TRADE FOR A LEDUC BASS OR OTHER BASSES WEIGHTING LESS THAN 4.5 KILOS, AND FRETLESS PREFERRED ! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €1550 Euros (£1375 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! New price was around €2000 Euros back in the day, so 34 years ago... !!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In fully working condition and in quite very good overall condition considering it's a 34 years old bass. Here are the specifications : Body (back curved à la Spector) : 2 wings of flamed maple with 2 stripes of purpleheart Graphite reinforced neckthrough : 5 pieces à la old Leduc (3 pieces of rock maple + 2 pieces of purpleheart) Fingerboard : Macassar ebony with pearl side dots and front pearl arrow inlays Frets : 24 in excellent condition (no marks) Headstock : 4 + 2 in line with graphite reinforced peghead Pickups : 2 Peavey frequency tailored (hum-cancelling) reversed P-Bass type (split coil) Controls : volume, blend, active/passive switch, bass, mids and treble acting as a tone control in passive mode Preamp : Peavey Dynabass 3 bands EQ with gain adjustable through an original hole in the rear cover Tuners : new Gotoh Res-O-Lite GB-350 Bridge : Kahler 3D bridge Strings spacing at bridge : 16 mm at the moment, but adjustable up to 18 mm Nut : graphite Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : original Peavey with rubber grip for the volume and blend Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : gold Truss rod : one, called a torsion rod by Peavey Finish : transparent blue Land of craftsmanship : U.S.A. Serial number : 04163684 Year : 1989 (very first series) Weight : 4.540 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with a new generic semi-rigid case. Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd for the reasons mentioned above. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It is fitted with a new set of Blacksmith ANW-32135-6-34 nickel-plated steel (Hexa Core) strings with proprietary AOT Nano Carbon Shield coating which prevents oxidation and dirt accumulation on the wound strings (32 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 135) that really serve the bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken under different angles and light to see the real condition, which is used with knocks, scratches and scars from 34 years of use. Link to the original Peavey user manual : https://drive.google.com/file/d/18AAjwZ5_BHR-fQQlrWgC6byYQ3vrD9k-/view?usp=share_link Here is the link to the 28 photos in high resolution and please do watch them carefully : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yKodgNXuqQJNia_Uu32LTFaslcaf4QBx?usp=sharing Don't hesitate to ask for more. Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4.5 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

Better put a nylon washer between your brass tuners and the aluminium bridge as brass will tear aluminium faster than you might think. 😉

Following as I like the original idea which seems to be : Let it come to life and see what it will be...

Another bargain from that studio in Essex

It used to be mine indeed, and the guy selling it is the very one I sold it to in 2015 and I still clearly remember this very sympathetic deal as a friend had been commissioned by the buyer and traveled 500 kilometres round from Holland to my place in Belgium to buy it for him because he was very busy. Another real good Leduc, the half fret lines are original and where asked by the original owner (J-P C) who is a friend of mine. So the full history of this bass is known with "only" 3 owners.

You know what, I'm fed up by the moderators dictatorship since @ped decided to take a break: you are no god and you can tell all the crap you want, I don't care as I don't believe in god(s). I give up and don't want to argue and then counter argue, and counter counter argue and so on as it's useless. A forum is not a real place, but a virtual place where heresy and power over people seem to be the norm. I've been away for something like 9 months and I came back to notice it's getting worst. You simply like to manipulate people and walk on them, so keep going on, but you must be in such a desperate position to act like this. I won't play your game, and if you are deaf, have no ears, and like to tell būllshit, just go on as it's what's you like. I never liked people wanting to rule the world by pretending they know everything. Farewell! PS: If you have bålls, leave this post unerased and start reading before posting.

You are mismatching a lot of things. If a preamp was designed to work at 18 Volts, the lower the voltage, the higher the distortion and also the lower the headroom, also meaning more compression and less dynamic with lower voltage. The Ibanez preamp you are talking about was designed around discrete circuits needing less voltage and also less current, so I don't see the point in what you're stating... And a lot of passive bass pickups are having a signal higher than 1 Volt peak to peak, except if you only hardly touch the strings.

So @binky_bass are going to say the magic words?
-
Not even close, it's a stupid marketing idea and they are proud of it... 🤦🏻♂️
-
Indeed, the USA made Cirrus line appeared in 1997, just a year before the end of the TL-Six series. Mine is from 1989, first year of TL-Six model.

Better low end definition and overall (faster) attack thanks to the added headroom to the preamp, always worth giving a try. In short, the preamp won't be pushed to its limits too fast.
-
As you know it Russ, I own a first generation TL-Six in not such an immaculate condition: amazing basses indeed.

After a couple of months, Mick?

The Glarry Glitter... For those who didn't get it. 👌 @King Tut 🤣
-
They are so proud of their work that didn't put a name or logo on the blue one, ... just in case.
-
Sounds like me trying to play with a tendonitis: I even can feel the electrical discharges.
-
Congratulations! 👏
-
All right! It's Zee Wango, Zee Tango...

Strangely they both committed suicide even if Roy Buchanan's suicide is still a bit of a mystery, if not doubtful... Loved the way they both played guitar.

My guitar hero during the 90's ! Thanks Jack.
