benebass Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Hi - I'm selling my white Peavey Foundation Bass that I bought a while ago on here. It was made in the USA (I was told it's from 1987) & is basically Peavey's take on the Fender Jazz Bass. It has a beautiful slim maple neck, rosewood fingerboard & a pair of Super Ferrite pickups, which have a lot more presence & output than an average Jazz. There's a lot of love for these in the States, but not that many made it over here - Peavey basses from this era were really good quality & I think they'll be seen as classics in the future. Only selling it as I'm not playing bass as much as I'd like these days. It's in a really good condition & bizarrely still has the plastic on the control cover on the back! Looking for £175 collected - I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

cocco Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Why did you have to be so far north? It would cost me that to collect it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) These are great basses. Well made, fast skinny neck, sound good, look good. I'm tempted to buy it as an investment, but that seems a waste of a fine instrument. Bike shops often have nice strong boxes Edited September 1, 2014 by alyctes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer a face-to-face deal really - had a few courier nightmares recently... Cheers, B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I've got too many already. Also, white's not my colour Edited September 1, 2014 by alyctes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I don't mind white but this popped up about an hour after I done the deal on a Zodiac. Last 2 weeks I've been looking at fretless and Zodiacs, twice I get outbid then a fretless Foundation appears here for about an hour. At the weekend the fretless Tanglewood went back up and I got it then a guy in Germany got in touch about a Zodiac.It's on the way,can't say I'm not tempted.
