I don't need it, but dang it's cool!

$70 is a no-brainer, Just Do It!

 

[Wisebass]

$70 and no tax

my kid (middle schooler, not a baby) was in the car

hi Doc these are two good signs:
A nice price!
And your middle schooler did not leave with your car

so for me that means: get the thing asap!

greetings

may the bass...

If you want a custom made pickguard for your new axe, check with my dude Tony at pickguardian.com

KBD, i have stopped going to the shops, i get it man!

The weak point on those is the jack mounted in the pickguard.
I had a Fender JP-90 that was similar, with just a two ply pickguard.
Using a right angle plug helps to keep it from breaking.

Don't most Fender P-basses have the jack mounted in the pickguard? Do you mean the Fury's design is weaker than most?

P-bass pickguards are known for cracking at the jack too. That's why I'm glad I have an aluminum guard on mine.

So Doc, you get that bass yet? I've come close to picking up a Fury a few times, myself.

Rescue pawn shop rejects! Fix them up, make them playable and make music! My current main bass is a $50 Fender "Squire Series" made in Korea P I bought in a pawn shop. Needed some TLC and new electronics, but I got a bargain.

 

[Mr_O'B]

I say buy it asap! Peavey basses are well built basses!

 

[Mr_O'B]

I'm going to be the odd man here & say, "If you don't need another, stop going into the shops!".

I bought two basses in quick succession, because I was visiting the shops.
Since I bought the last one I haven't been in the shops & haven't bought any more basses.

It also freed up time for playing/practicing.

Nothing wrong with visiting music stores and pawn shops. It's always good to keep your eyes open to what's out there.

I'm never GASSY, so I can check out basses without feeling the need to buy every bass that I see and lay hands on!

No, I may get it today.

I was in there looking at deals on lawnmowers and weed whackers.

Ain't weed whackers gut strings for double bass ?

For $70 you can't lose. You can always get a blank piece of clear Lexan from the big box home store for under $20. Trace the outline of the old guard onto the Lexan, cut or Dremel it, paint the bottom side whatever color you choose (or leave it clear), put the noise shielding foil tape over the painted back side. Voila! Hope this helps.

 

[fhm555]

Easy fix for the guard. Cut a piece of thin aluminum or thick lexan long enough to span the crack then narrow it until it just clears the body so it will allow the guard to sit flush, then epoxy that patch to the guard, clamp it up and walk away for 24 hours. After the wait, dill it for the jack, load it up and mount it up.

Depending on the break it could be all but invisible, or it may look no different, but it will be strong enough to support the jack with no worries.

Doc, is it a USA model? If you decide to pass, please give me the pawn shop location...I'll most likely snatch that thing up!

 

[kodiakblair]

@Dr.Cheese

St Louis is 6 hour behind me here in Scotland so the pawn shop will have been open 2-3 hours by now.
Hope that "real life" stuff isn't getting in the way of Peavey buying

 

[wintremute]

A Peavey Fury? Get it.

It's USA or I would not be interested.

 

[Bassamatic]

YES!!!! Grab that Fury! I got one the same way a while back that had been sloppily glued together with hard case for $100! Probably my best buy. AND - Peavey still had stock on the pickguards and sold me a new one! (best Customer Service EVER). Be sure you get the right one - there are some that are flat on the bottom and others that are curved.

When you install your new one - I would put an additional screw or 2 at the end to prevent this in the future.
