I have the first generation Fury. It's really a T-20 with a few changes. I bought it on a whim but it's now my go-to bass when playing out. Even though it is only a single pup, that slant Super Ferrite.... I LOVE the sounds I can coax out of it.

Good to know, thanks!
Moderately narrower string spacing at bridge I can deal with, but narrow nut spacing drives me crazy. Maybe my fingers are just too long. What I really like is wider nut spacing (like a P-bass) but a more shallow, flatter back of the neck. It's not something that's really common, but my Carlo and my 90's MIM P-bass have it and I love it.
Do you happen to know how deep and thick the back of the neck is on the Forum 4 string? The 1.7" nut sounds ideal to me.
Very nice!
How do you find the balance? I had and gigged a Ferrite Fury for a while, but it was pretty neck-heavy and I liked the sound of my P-bass a bit more. It's a very cool instrument though, with it's own take on the "P thing".
If it's the active Forum 4 string I get 0.86" at the 5th rising to 0.96" at the 12th. The nut is 1.66" not a sweet 1.7" like my T-20
The balance on mine is good. I've never played a true T series but recall that was more an issue on those.
I the four string active Forum with one big humbucker would sell for you, they are just rare.
T series have no balance issues at all because of the ridiculously heavy body.
Good to hear your Fury balances well. I think maybe mine just had an unusually light body.
That seems pretty nice, though as Doc Cheese says, they seem pretty rare.If it's the active Forum 4 string I get 0.86" at the 5th rising to 0.96" at the 12th. The nut is 1.66" not a sweet 1.7" like my T-20
I really don't need another bass, but I'll keep my eyes out anyway if one pops up locally. I have a buddy who wants to play bass and it would be nice to have a bass I could loan out...
Just the typical short production run from Peavey. Few made it past 5 years,longest run was the Foundation with 18/19 years followed by the Grind BXP on 15/16 year.
