WHUFC BASS

All this talk of Peavey's and me wanting an early TL5 has prompted me to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286396469030 I've already got one ( from @lonestar on here) in natural and I love them, however I've always wanted to try the Super Ferrite early versions and saw this one for sale. Price is pretty reasonable compared to some of the ones available on Reverb which are £1000 plus import duties which didn't really appeal to me.

I've not heard of the Synergy amp but they look pretty similar to the Randall RM 100 MTS which allowed the use of three modules in a single amp. It's a novel idea and I'm surprised there hasn't been a bass equivelant made by someone.

I can't see them taking off to be honest. Not sure people will pay the same money for a Peavey Cirrus from the Czech Republic for what I'd estimate would be the same price as a Spector Euro.

Peavey amplification for me back in the 80s and 90s always seemed to weigh about a ton, be rock solid and be ultra reliable. I had a TKO 75 which I ran a 76 Jazz bass through and it sounded immense. I sold the pair for £250 in 1991 to fund a Trace Elliot stack. Yes, I've been kicking myself ever since. I still use Peavey guitar amps though, I have a 5150 block letter 2x12 combo as well as a JSX 120w head and a 6505 II héad. For me, Peavey amps were the dominant force in the 90s when it came to hi gain metal. Bands like Van Halen, Machine Head, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Black Stone Cherries, Opeth, Alice In Chains, Carcass, Skid Row, Killswitch Engage, Soulfly, Corrosion of Conformity and countless other hardcore and metalcore bands used their amps. They really did knock Marshall off their perch in the world of metal around this time.

Some great looking basses there, I love the TL5 in black, looks sublime.

Got a few Peavys, two Foundations and a TL5 in natural. Still looking for a black TL5 with gold hardware... Ahem @kodiakblair😂

Got a 2024 Fireglo recently, really liking it, sounds great recorded

John made up a Rickenbacker 4001 loom for me and it was just perfect. Thanks John.

£455... Sorry, that's a great band, my favourite in fact, a great lineup too but I just can't justify that price.

Interesting,mine is as follows
