Deal or no Deal?

[OxJohnson]

I found a Peavey Foundation 5er USA for $149... deal or no deal...?

For information I have a Dyan5 and a TL5 and love them both. They are my main gigging bases.

I'd go for it. Is this a trade or are you just getting another one for the collection?

 

[darkstorm]

If its in good to excellent condition itd be great low price for it imo.

 

[Thunderitter]

If it's a playa, go for it!

 

[EagleMoon]

As long as everything works and all the hardware isn't rusted, it's a great deal.

I don't even play a 5 and I'd hit that!

+1.

lets see pics when you get it!

I watched a decent one sell at a shop yesterday for $225. Would have considered it myself. If it's in good shape, it's a deal.

You'd better have gotten that. I've heard good things about those basses and thats for the price of some SXs which means it's gotta be a great deal.

USA made, (I assume) Super-Ferrite pu's, and an offer to buy it for 149? No auction, no BS, just 149? No brainer...

I paid 200 for my 4 string and still think I got a good deal. After I set it up, changed the strings, plugged it in...I KNOW I got a great deal.

 

[pinebrookjohn]

Go for it i have a 4 string and its great

Assuming the neck isn't warped, or it hasn't been chewed on by Pit Bull's, I'd say that's a good deal.

 

[WoodyG3]

If it's in good shape BUY IT!!! That's a very good price. (Again, assuming it's in good shape.)

My opinion is my Peavey Foundation 5 is compareable to and US made production bass as far as quality goes. It's a simple bass, not a lot of features (no graphite in neck, passive pickups and preamp, simple hardware...etc) but it's well made and the pickups are very versitle if you tweek the knobs.When I bought mine I took the strings off gave it a good cleaning, hit the pots and input jack with contact cleaner, adjusted the sadles and replaced the strings. The string spacing on this bass is tighter than a fender but that works for me because I use a pic on this bass and chords and arpeggios are more comfortable (to me). It's a good bass, what color did you get?

Hey, for under 200 bucks, you can't go wrong!

...(given that it's decent shape, of course.)
