Hey guys, I just had to share a NBD post for this one. I came across this bass on an online auction and after 2 minutes of “reseach” I threw down a bid and a came away the winner. About $265 after taxes and shipping for an America made bass with unique pickups. She is defined player grade, it...
A CL find, the seller (a musician) was consigning it for a neighbor who had lost their son due to an illness. Glad the funds went towards medical bills of the family and am truly grateful to own it now. Am a sucker for the old USA Peaveys and they seem to get genuine respect around here.
Been...
I have a 93' Peavey Foundation, and recently whenever I try playing theres a crackling with the slightest movement of the cable in the jack. Its so consistent and annoying I haven't been playing it.
Is there some kind of weak connection, or some electronic is dirty?
Slightly puzzled so if...
I had some free time this afternoon, so I set up my iPhone and took a video of my playing a rough facsimile of Groove is in the Heart on all four (that’s right, FOUR!) of my basses hahaha. The room is by no means acoustically great, and neither is my playing, but I figured some folks here might...
Peavey Foundation Body bought it here on TB with the intention of putting a neck on it, but ended up finding a closet queen foundation on CL. As you can see in the pics the paint is faded but body is in good shape for its age. Price includes shipping CONUS.

Bought this for a project that never happened. Loaded body with neck plate. Maybe someone else can make use of it. $225 shipped conus will consider a trade

For sale is my 1997 (?) Peavey Foundation 4. Frets still have a lot of life left. Has a brand new set of rounds. Everything works beautifully. Price is firm at $350 + $85 CONUS shipping.
Hi everyone! I'm a short-term viewer, first-time poster.
I'm searching for a Jazz bass and I've come across a Peavey Foundation Bass vintage USA 1987 with the Super Ferrite pickups.
I've seen some threads on here about them, but they are pretty old and I wish to know (I'd haggle anyway) if this...
Just want to compare "burpy" bass tones from my basses.
Why not show your bass "burps" tone ?
I recorded 3 of my bases to compare "burp" tones.
Which one fits the "burpiest" tone?
The basses I used.
1. Cort Artisan C4+ Otab Zmbh
Bartolini pickups
Mark Bass Mk1 preamp...
Actually bought this awhile back, but never got around to uploading the pics to my 'puter...
wanted to play it for awhile and see if it was worthy of keeping before doing anything else!!
It works pretty darn well! So then I was like...it's pretty plain as is...hrm....what can I do?
After...
Found this nice black 4-string at a local pawn shop and after trying it out...
knew it had to come on home with me :)
Didn't hurt that the price was definitely RIGHT!
Serial comes back to 1994, mid year probably.
It's got a little buckle rash on the body & 2 Cymbal cuts in the rear of the...
Bought this awhile back from here and I have always been impressed with the MIA offerings from Peavey, whether it be the Foundations or Furys, etc. Just prefer other instruments in my stable and no longer need to keep this around for a bass with just flats, as my primary is sporting flats...
I should probably finish my other projects before picking up a new one, but this popped up on the Goodwill site and I couldn't resist.
1983 Peavey Foundation Bass by thaddeusthompson, on Flickr
If I'm reading the serial number correctly, it's a 1983. It's missing a tuner and the truss rod...
Very nice excellent shape peavey foundation 2000 4 string in Rare gold. New ecb81 chromes. And a great gator case. Vinyl stickers of fret board can be removed if you want. Plays great. I bought a G&L. Not that i dont think this bass is every bit as good as the G&L its just the G& L is 6.9...

Hey TB
I have here a ‘86-‘87 Foundation S. The S stands for Schaller pickups, these are similar to Dimarzio, they sound high output to me.
The bass is in good condition cosmetically for a 32 year old bass.
It has been played for sure. Not sure if the body is alder or poplar, it is pretty light...
After much digging and searching around I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to what the radius is on a Peavey Foundation fretless neck. I have one I'm using on a project and I need to get a sanding block the right radius so I can resurface the neck. Any help/advice is appreciated.
I am trying to determine where exactly this bass sits in comparison to more modern 5 string basses.
Look, i love the bass, the action is outstanding, it sounds great with the VFL's but i am contemplating whether to look at other 5 string basses but it would need to be quite an upgrade if i...
I’ll be adding pictures tonight.

This is a late 80’s Foundation 5 with the Super Ferrites. You don’t seem many fivers with the SF’s and they sound great and the bass plays like butter. The finish isn’t in great shape, there’s a decent amount of wear throughout and some small...

Old USA Peavey Foundation. Sounds awesome. Jazz bass on Steroids with the Super Ferries. Neck, Frets, Truss Rod, all in good shape. Recently set up. Smaller neck like a 70's Fender Jazz. Some Rust on some screws, but nothing is stripped. Shows some wear with nicks and finish thinning...

This one was rescued from a Goodwill, where I located it in awful shape. It looked like it had been left outside for years at some point in its life: the metal parts were badly tarnished and parts of the finish were almost black with grime. I did my best to restore it, cleaning up the metal...

pretty happy about this one. I really love my gold 83 4 string and also love playing a 5. Couldn’t believe I found a matching one in gold. Will post pics of them together when I get the 5’r home. Can’t seem to find much info on the Foundation 2000, except they weren’t made but for a few years...
Good condition Peavey Foundation S four-string bass, made in Meridian, Mississippi in 1986. Red metal flake finish. Thin, fast neck, P/J pickup configuration, plays and sounds good. Two non-original knobs. Got its share of dings, some through the finish into the color coat. This is a player's...

Hey, y'all. This Foundation neck still has significant relief, and I can't get the socket deep enough in the channel to turn the nut. Initially I was able to get about a half-turn, but that's it. I've tried enlarging the channel in the headstock (the truss rod cover will hide all this), but the...
I got this in yesterday - I've been looking for an 80s Foundation for a while now... I've always liked those headstocks for Peavey, and wanted a Foundation with Super Ferrites in it... It was REALLY grubby when I got it, but cleaned up pretty good - it's actually in really good condition, and...
I have a chance to pick up either a Ibanez SR500 with the Mohogany body or a 1995 5 string Peavey Foundation locally for about the same price. Both are in good condition. The 4 vs. 5 string doesn't make a difference to me; it is the bass quality, playability, and tone that matters most to me...
