Peavey Forum

Hi all,

Picked up a candy apple red Peavey Forum today. MIA, p/j pups, awesome sound...loving it better than any bass I've picked up yet. The serial number puts it at '94...but other than that I have no info on it. The neck is sweet and it looks like a three part maple/rosewood but I'm not sure. I have no idea what the body is made of and if anybody knows that would be cool. Also, does anyone know where the Forums were made in the States? Thanks.

Here's a link to a couple of PDF files. Not sure which one is the one you have.

If neither of these are it just go here:

I think all MIA Peavey basses were made in Meridian Mississippi.

Thanks Mark! Mine is the first one.

If it's a '94 P/J, it's probably a Poplar body.
Just picked one up myself last week.

poplar was very common... if it's lighter this is probable

I just picked one up in ebay, the first one too. Passive pickups, rosewood neck. Looking forward to playing it. I'll give a review once I have played it for a while...

My 92 Foundation is alder I'm pretty sure all US peavy's back then were alder. Just checked link above, they were poplar. I don't know nuttin.

Thank You, I stole it from one of Mott the Hoople's Guitar players.

Yup - Luther Grosvenor. I grew up a huge Mott fan. Well done.
