SOLD Made In USA Peavey Foundation SOLD £175

[Stompbox]

Here’s my Peavey Foundation bass guitar up for sale. I’m looking for £175 –I think that’s very cheap for an American made quality guitar. It’s a really good example & I’ve owned it for a few years now and gigged it a good few tiimes.

It’s a really excellent instrument – made in the USA with a really nice maple neck and fretboard, the scale length is 34”. The neck is fitted to the body like Fender guitars, with a four bolt mounting plate and it has a microtilt adjustment.

The electrics are as on a Fender Jazz bass with two passive pickups each with a volume control and an overall passive tone control – I had this bass fitted with a pull potentiometer so that when you pull out the volume pot nearest to the neck the two pickups then run in series to give a bigger, fatter sound – more like the sound of a Precision.

The bass dates to 1991 from the serial number (04973566), and it’s a really nice player, the weight is nice & easy at 3.5kilos, and the neck has a lovely feel to it. It has a few minor marks on it but no bad dings, the machine heads are all good, and the neck is nice & straight.

I’m up in Morecambe near Lancaster, and you’re welcome to come over & see & try the bass before buying, alternatively I do go over to Rochdale pretty well every week now so you could see it there.

I could ship it in a well packed cardboard box by Hermes or similar at extra cost.

These American made basses are, I firmly believe, future classics, but I’m having to downsize and this guitar has to go.

I have a matched pair of these (fretted/fretless) in sunburst and they are incredibly good instruments. Great necks to play, good hardware and electronics, at this money you cant go wrong! GLWTS

If I didn't have one already (a rather battered metallic pink one), I'd definitely be after this. In fact, if my Aria sells...

Totally agree.

These things punch way above their weight.
