I'm so glad to see that civility and adultness have championed the day!

Consider your chops busted!

Bring it baby, bring it!

With a big shiny ribbon on?

Shmetglo, that's my TEAM!

Stinkin' BLACK guitars!

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

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


And, I use a Vypyr 100 amp...

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...

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!

Congrats, Tony!

Here is another USA Peavey, in your color, too!

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!

T-60s are great guitars, just wiegh a ton!

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!
