Need Peavey Foundation replacement neck

[jelly6466]

Sadly, my beloved Peavey Foundation has a huge neck crack that may not be repairable. Does anyone know a good drop in replacement? I am not remotely close to handy as a luthier so the easier the better.

Thanks

-super old thread i found, but sounds like T-40, Fury and Forum all have similar necks. That'd be a good place to start:
Peavey Foundation

-a few T 40s and one Fury neck on ebay right now.

@kodiakblair , any ideas?

T-40 neck will not work. Its 20 fret and the Foundation is 22. Foundation, Fury, Dyna Bass, Patriot, Axcellerator, Millennium BXP and many other Peavey 21 fret necks will fit. Keep a lookout on ebay and Reverb. Many that are posted for sale are overpriced.

 

[kodiakblair]

To the list @mech gave I'd add the Milestone BXP basses.

Following correction from @mech it's best folks ignore this.

This may not be worth mentioning, but have you called Peavey to see what they recommend for your bass?

 

[jelly6466]

Thanks all, great ideas and I am on the hunt!! I sent Peavey a message and am waiting to hear.

Here is the crack, is this repairable with CA glue and clamps?

That is repairable. Get some Titebond in there and clamp it up for 24 hours, good as new.

 

[godofthunder59]

If you prefer CA use that, I like Titebond myself.

 

[jelly6466]

Titebond is best? What is the difference between the two?

Milestone is a 20 fret neck and won't work on a Foundation. It has to have a 21 fret square heel neck.

@jelly6466 ....that crack is repairable. Titebond is the best glue for this type of repair. Crack must be thoroughly filled with glue and well clamped.

 

[jelly6466]

On to clamping!!! Thanks everyone

Float some CA into that crack and clamp it up!

 

[jelly6466]

Glued and clamped at 10 am using Titebond. I will give an update tomorrow.

I dare say yes it is repairable. Probably needs to be separated completely to get a perfect bond. Completely loose the truss rod and reinsert when assembling. I'd use a top quality yellow wood glue. Coat both surfaces, let get slightly tacky, then clamp with several cushioned and appropriate camps. Clean off any excess glue carefully. Don't stress it for at least maybe a week before restringing. Perfect alignment is a must. Yes I would do this. Nothing to lose and your original beloved neck to gain. Repost with the outcome.

Titebond, clamped, 24 hours (approximately). I am going to wait a few days to string it up but all looks good. Thanks everyone

Shouldn't be to difficult to find one to bolt right in. That has a similar pocket and bolt pattern as Fender right? (not saying they're the same) I have a USA Millenium neck I may part with but I'm pretty sure that's way diff than yours.

What is CA glue? The wood glue you used may be easier to work with? I'd keep watching for a spare neck to come up too. I think Moses and Modulus build replacements but that's a whole nother story

Keep in mind that Foundation necks are VERY skinny...thinner than a Jazz....I dont think a T40 neck will work if that Foundation thinness is criteria for you...its possible a Fury or Dyna Bass neck will work.....good luck

i thought the foundation had 21 frets!
