WHUFC BASS Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 There's a few on eBay at the moment. These are great basses for the money and these are not that common in the UK. Made in the USA and really playable too. I'm not affiliated with any of the sellers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Used-peavey-foundation-bass-guitar/333067770533?hash=item4d8c62daa5:g:oYUAAOSwBPRcTZ1Q:rk:2:pf:0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Foundation-Bass-guitar-made-in-USA/132926157851?hash=item1ef304341b:g:yH0AAOSwLKhcQdku:rk:1:pf:0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Foundation-Bass-guitar-94-Made-in-USA-Rare-with-Laney-amp-leads-case/202596272100?hash=item2f2badc7e4:g:JIUAAOSwVZ1cZET4:rk:3:pf:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 They are fine basses IMO. I have more than I need already though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Pups look like humbuckers, but they're really single coils , aren't they ? Not sure, just i remember reading somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Always been tempted by these - liking the red one. This popped up on one of the listings - don't think I've seen one before: 1983 Peavey T20 with original case - £325 Where are our Peavey experts when you need 'em? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I saw the T20 whilst I was looking at the Foundations. Interesting looking basses. I've had Peavey USA made guitars and the workmanship really is top notch. For the money I can't think of a better bass, certainly a USA made bass. The T40s are legendary and command high prices, even if they do weigh the combined weight of every sumo wrestler in Japan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Not surprised none of those Foundations sold. Over-priced for the UK market, different story over in America. @fleabag Your memory is correct,those are single coils.mid 90's Peavey were getting pickups from Korea and to cut costs further used the same shells,this has lead to folks claiming mid 90's Foundations have VFL pickups. They don't, VFLs are active pickups. @Bassassin The T20 didn't last too long. It got a reshape and was renamed the Fury. More confusion followed when later Furys got skinny jazz necks and standard split-P pickup,Poplar bodies too. My old T20 is beat to hell but weighs just 9lb,a lightweight compared to my 10.5lb 1st gen Fury. If you fancy trying one,drop me a line. @WHUFC BASS ebay sold listings give £400 to £550 as the price range for T40s,not such a high price tag for a legendary bass. Owning 4 of them you can bet I wish folks payed Reverb prices 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
