So I just joined the Peavey Forum, after almost 40 years of being around Peavey gear in some form or another.
I had a T-40 from 1980 to 86 and traded it like a dummy.
Fast forward to this year. For some reason, the TL5s always caught my eye. I’m a big Tim Landers fan, too. A few months ago, I bought a TL5 with the intentions of making it fretless myself.
That turned into a disaster very quickly because of my ineptitude. I literally butchered the fingerboard of that TL5 and gave it away.
I really liked playing that TL5 as a fretted bass. I should have left it alone, but I’ve found another TL5 that I’m very much looking forward to getting in a week or so.
Is the TL5 just not very well liked? Out of all the great Peavey basses, it’s my favorite. I scrolled through 9 pages of the forum and didn’t one post about TLs.
Later on, I may get a T-40 and convert it to a 5-string. That project looks reasonably straightforward to do.
No TL5 love?

If you take a look at my "Prestige" you'll see 1st & 2nd gen TL-5s and my TL-6.
Have photo of my T40 5 string conversion in there too
Did I see a FB conversation between yourself and my good friend Ronnie this week?

I’ll look those pics of your TLs up. I’m interested in a TL6, but I have no practical need for a TL6 at this time.
Which won’t stop me if that wild hair grows enough...

Coming from Ronnie it'll be in tip top condition. He shipped a lovely Dyna/Unity Series over to me here in Scotland a few years back.Geri O wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 6:03 pmYes, you did!
