Almost ALL ARE BLACK!!??? Oh man...and I bet all of them don't have the mojo mine has. LOL Ahh well, I actually love the mojo on mine for some reason. 
Mine has this killer 'broke in' and knows its job feel. Those who have owned this baby in the past were good, if that makes any sense at all. LOL

Um...would that be mojo or dents from being fallen into?

LOL I haven't crashed into my black Foundation...yet...
Actually its mojo isn't bad. Its got a fair scuff on the back, little scuffs here and there. The only part of its mojo that has me a bit meh is on one edge of the headstock theres a few gouges in it. I think if I wet the wood and press it back together and let it dry they are fixed. They aren't that big thankfully. You feel them more then see them. Other than those, the rest of its mojo is 'cool' ... And as light as the RBX4 A2 is, this is why I bought a case for it...it would never survive me falling into it one night.
And Im not exactly a big person mind you but once gravity takes over, look out LOL I can still hear all my basses thwanging that night and falling into each other when I tripped over my practice amp...sheesh....LOL
Just bought another '92 Black and maple off the Classifieds. Let you know how it is when it gets here. I am pretty sure this is verging on addiction and I may need intervention soon.
Dear Lord.. this will make 4?? You are bogarting all the goodies... intervention needed indeed. 
Yeah.. I am looking at a Fretless foundation if the guy calls me back
I cannot even play a fretless yet, but I love my fretted one so much I figure I will grow into the fretless.
I mean a freatless foundation w. TI Jazz flats on it. "The Perfect Tone"?

This is really bad. There's a 90's Unity series in spotless candy apple red at a Pawn Shop around the corner from me. They were asking $250, but it has been there for about 2 months so the price drops to $203 today. When I looked at it the guy tells me anything that's been there over a month is now 25% off, which drops it to about $150. Everytime I drive past the store I feel like I should just stop and go get it. But I already have 14 basses including 5 Peaveys. Floridabwoy, I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're in the Orlando area the pawn shop is in Fern Park/Maitland on the corner of 17/92(Northbound side) and O'Brien. I am fighting the urges, but it may be a losing battle.

I'm not bogarting. If your in the Orlando area let me know and I'll be glad to let you play them. But you're right, I don't seem to be able to quit on my own.
It's like the people who collect SX basses. But with the exception that Peavey's actually have quality.
ain't dat da truthIt's like the people who collect SX basses. But with the exception that Peavey's actually have quality.
+1
well its not that sx sucks, but
Peavey Foundations are soooo good
I just got a new 4th and I feel like I'm in a harem. So many different flavors of Foundation.
and yet my wife caught me bidding on a 5th (" it was a lowball bid, a lowball bid")
I keep trying to lowball bid, but I must have too many years of Fender built up in my system. I can't seem to go low enough.
How does the foundation neck compare to a jazz? It looks nice and slim. Does someone has neck width dimension? How thin is the neck?
When compared to my MIM Jazz, the foundations' seem to be about the same nut width, but the depth is slightly less front to back. When compared to my Pre-CBS(1961) Jazz, they are slightly larger in both dimensions.
Hey thats ok, Ive got 3 Foundys right now and am about to get a parts lot of 2 and at least one will be complete when Im done....I think there needs to be a 'Foundations annon' around here for everyones sanity at this point. LOL
Ok StarscreamG1,
FOUND the thread you were suggesting I post on....THANKS AGAIN!
Here is my mystery Foundation 5er.
ANYONE have ANY idea what these pickups are?
I picked it up around Thanksgiving of last year. It was on Ebay with some pretty rotten cell phone pictures. They LOOKED like Super Ferrite pickups which is why I nailed it. BUT, these just say PEAVEY on them.
The previous owner "removed the PEAVEY logo because he was a pro and this was a backup. I don't endorse any brands so I dind't want the brand to be seen" and he removed the water slide PEAVEY logo. The MADE IN USA still remains.
Thanks in advance! ANY information would be appreciated!
