ash Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Peavey Foundation Bass I am selling this US made Peavey Foundation with maple board and cream finish. It’s in very good condition and the neck is nice and slim. I had it strung with heavy strings and tuned it with a low D for a while but now I’ve decided to buy a 5 string so I’m getting rid. I recently had the neck pickup rewound by Aaron Armstrong at Armstrong pickups who did a great job. These Super Ferrites are highly regarded but hard to get into to repair. It’s a nice light weight bass under 9lbs with a Jazz vibe to it. No case or bag so I may take the neck off to transport it if postage is required. These basses are well regarded for the price. I reckon this one dates from the early 90s. Pickup preferred so you can play it. No trades. Can post in the UK at buyers cost.

pluckedout Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Excellent basses; that's definitely an early one, before they changed the headstock to use the newer (less pointy, more 90s, worse) Peavey logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hard to imagine a better bass for the money. Fabulous basses full stop, let alone for under £200. I have the 5er. In fact it is the second 5er of these I've had, plus an earlier 4 stringer like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 90s one, I had the same one in black. Foundations were made from about '83 onwards, so not an early one. These were made in this style for a short period, with a differently shaped body and rounder headstock than the 80s ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
