My first guitar was a T-60 back in 78/79. I sold it. :-(

So, here's the replacement I just picked up.

Congratulations Matt!

That is one sweet looking guitar!

You can get so many tones out of that baby.

My new addition will be here in about a week.

I did some trading, Peavey for Peavey to get this USA Millennium. I've wanted one just like this for quite a while.

Tony, that bass is just beautiful. The flamed front but especially the color-with-grainthrough on the back - really shows off the color.

Ya know? I've never really liked turquoise, but that bass has changed my mind. Simply gorgeous! I think it's because most turquoise (Ricks in particular) don't show the grain. Yeah, I'm a confirmed grain freak. I'll admit it...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Thanks John & CJ,

I'm nuts over it.

It took a three way trade deal to make it happen. I consider myself very lucky to get this bass. And the folks that made it happen, I owe a huge debt to.

I wasn't too thrilled with the body style (actually, I hated it for years) and I resisted getting one for a long time. I found this solid blue standard USA Millennium spelled incorrectly on Gbase. It was NOS and I got it for $235.00 SHIPPED. I couldn't resist for the price. The "PLUS", with the grain frequently bring $500.00 - $700.00 in good shape but originally sold in the area of $1500.00 when new.

I have the "standard" version and it plays amazingly well. I think I have a pic of that bass, but you can't compare the looks of the two. Hipshot hardware, 18V passive/active system with tons of tone, light but kinda ugly. I'm REAL happy to land the trans blue teal!

OK, I got this back from having the neck worked on and a re-wire. OMG!

I'm thinking I might like this guitar better than my 620, I know I like it better than my 330, and it's a tough call on my 360/12 as it is a 12 and hard to compare!

This is an awesome instrument!

OK, I added a third factory pickup to my T-60. I'm calling it a T-63. I thought she was awesome before---now she's really cool!
