Got this today for $50 at a local music store. I went in there about 5 months ago and they said someone dropped it off for repair months ago and haven't come to pick it up. I asked about buying it from them and they wanted to give the guy until the new year to pick it up. I'm glad he didn't do it! They did a quick setup and out the door I went. Gonna put some flats on it and am thinking of replacing pickups and put a 2 band pre in it. Was thinking a Bass Mods or Guitar Fuel pre. Don't want to spend too much on the mods. Any suggestions?

I had one a while back, great bass. I'd replace the knobs and play the crap out of it as it is.

There was a time a couple of years ago when these were everywhere you looked, not so much anymore. I think that TB is responsible for a lot of these finding good homes, they are no longer the secret that they once were.

You don't see many of the sunburst ones, I'd leave it stock.

You got a steal and if everthing works ,leave it alone they sound great out the box and keep sounding great.
I ,ve got 2 USA Peaveys now and they are the only unmodified basses I have.Only thing to change is the strings.
Mega solid build,if set up well,play very well,both are original apart from the strings,Forum95 and a Foundation 84

I put Fender 9050 flats (the old versions) on my 87 Fury with the hot Duncan....its definitely a lower mid punchy sound but very warm...way more vintage in tone but I can dial in enough top end to suit my ears.

I don't know what the stock pickup is like....I assume it is a ceramic P type?

If you get a chance give us a resistance measurement on the pickup.
