This Foundation 5 is something of a rarity since it has the matching headstock. I don't recall ever seeing another Generation 2 Foundation 5 with the matching headstock.
The bass plays and sounds very good indeed. The pickups are Peavey single coils and the controls are volume/volume/tone. Some of the older Peavey passive basses had controls that were unique in the way they worked but this bass has controls that work the same as those on a Fender Jazz bass. Straightforward and easy to use.
The neck is straight and the set up is spot on with low buzz free action. The strings are fresh D'Adarrio XL's. The truss rod works fine. The condition of the bass is excellent but not pristine. There is one spot on the face of the bass above and between the pickups that looks like a ding was touched up. I included a photo of the area that makes it look worse than it is. You have to get the angle just right to see it. The neck is unmarked and the maple fingerboard has a lovely hard clear finish on it. The bass weighs 9 pounds, 11 ounces.
Ships with no case or optional case is an SKB that fits the bass well and is $50 additional.
Buyer will pay actual shipping cost. Paypal is okay.
