Peavey TL5 US Tim Landers Signature *Price drop to £500* - *SOLD* £550 North Essex

[lonestar]

Selling this as it hasn’t seen much action action since I got my Sadowsky. Price reduced to £500:00.

 

It’s in excellence condition 

and was originally a rather horrible blue burst colour. It had been  stripped and nicely oil finished when I got it.

 

It’s a later model USA made one which I think came just before the Cirrus. Controls are separate volume and blend knobs with stacked pots for treble/bass mid/mid sweep.
The mid sweep is brilliant for quick tone changes. Overall it’s in great condition for an early’90s(?) bass.

 

There is a little nick on the back of the neck by the heel and the gold hardware is showing signs of wear and tear. The stacked knobs  look newer. I replaced the bass/treble one a few years ago and although everything works fine  the mid/sweep one has lost it’s centre detents and will howl if turned up full. Otherwise the electrics are all quiet and the tonal range of this instrument is great.

 

It hasn’t been gigged much.

I have the original Peavey hard case, included in sale, but it came pretty battered with damaged corners and lives under the bed. I’ve used another  cheap hard case 

 

It’s quite a beast; I reckon 10-11lbs, but quite well balanced and comfy on a wide strap and really nice to play, lowish  action and nicely finished neck.

 

Prefer not to post but you’re welcome to come and try it, although now I have a big box from Thomann, due to NBD on Wednesday, I'd be happy to courier this in the UK for  cost.

Maple body

Through neck

yes i too have thing for peaveys. this is lovely and a lot of bass for the money. ive had two b-quads(awesome) and i really want a midi/cyberbass as they have the proper electronic fret midi system thats supposed to be the best latching possible. 

 

whoever buys this will get a fantastic usa made bass for silly money. sadly i am skint and cant play 5 strings. glwts
