I do like a 45. Think that's something to do with a certain imported malt liquor

Did you know Colt 45 used to be French 76?
I had a 1983 Peavey T45 that I bought at a pawn shop for under $100. I liked it but didn't have a truss rod tool that fit it. I ended up trading it for a Fender Jazz Bass. Really should have kept it. I'd buy another one.
My recently bought 1992 Peavey Foundation, this has become my main player now. Looking at getting an earlier version from 83-89
I have actually owned 4 Peavey basses. The first was a T40 (ash), bought in 1982 during a period of inactivity. I paid the ridiculous sum of $125 for it and flipped it for a $100 profit. The second was a 1986 Foundation (white), which I played until 1992. It developed a backbow in the neck that could not be adjusted away. I replaced it with a 1991 Dynabass 4 string (black), and played it until 1996. It also developed a backbow that could not be fixed. I did a "Jaco" on it and ripped the frets out, and messed around with it a couple of years until the neck got as flimsy as a rubber band ! I parted this one out. The fourth Peavey bass was a 1996 Axcelerator Plus (sunburst) purchased from a friend who was in need of quick funds. He wanted $150 for it, but I gave him $180. I never gave this bass a chance - it stayed in my rack at home for 2 years basically unplayed. I asked the friend if he wanted it back - he declined, so I sold it to another bassist friend. My fave of the bunch - the white Foundation ! (Sorry, no pics !) I wish that I had all of them back !
Not a Peavey bass, but the amp and cab are some made in the U.S.A. Peavey goodness. Sorry, I'll see myself out now.
USA Millenniums....mmmm, yummy. I also have a nice g-bass in a closet somewhere.
Here's my US Peaveys: (i) 95 Fury with Geezer pickup and Raven Labs preamp, (ii) another 95 Fury with Lindy Fralin pickup, (iii) 83 T40, (iv) 95 Foundation 5 with VFLs and (v) a Cirrus 6 with Audere preamp. Missing from the picture is a Super Ferrite fretless Foundation which is on semi-permanent loan to a cousin who's a young bassist with an up-and-coming band.

@ 3, Peavey is the most represented brand I own. (Millennium was sold)
I also own a Westone, Gretsch, Epiphone, BC Rich and a parts bass. Didn't vote in poll, I like all USA Peavey.

That copper brown T-20 is a very different looking Peavey.
Do you know if the color is original?
Also looks to have a bit of a jazz-ish offset to the body. Is that just a camera angle thing?
I think G/GV basses are not nearly as rare as some people say...They are just hoarded by TB members.
I like the color change a lot, not a big fan of CAR.
I didn't know that a T-20 and a 1st Gen Fury were different basses.
Thanks, Rootbeer was the color it was called I think.
T-20 and Fury are pretty similar...body shape and hardware about the only change.
