A great bass to check is the Foundation V with soapbars. It actually sounds very close to a Cirrus, but with a 34" scale. They can be had super cheap too, very often under $200!

Assembled with the original warped pickguard, the wrong size nut and black tuners. Man it plays nice.
I just heard a recording of a pretty hip pop-type outfit, with a Peavey Foundation holding it down. Right into the board- what a nice, punchy, clean sound. Has a nice, sort of growly vibe and sits perfectly in the mix.
That's a good bass. If you're a player and have a Foundation, you want to think twice before you sell it.

Heh-heh... in light of my previous post, I think I will not be selling my Peavey.
And how about them swimsuits, huh?!
One of the rarebird red T-40's is on the 'bay right now. I think the asking price may be a bit high, but you never know with a hard to find color.
Member as of today! $200 Combo 300. I don't think I could have gotten this much volume at this price with any other amp. Only thing is it weighs too much for me to carry alone.

They do look good in red.One of the rarebird red T-40's is on the 'bay right now. I think the asking price may be a bit high, but you never know with a hard to find color.
Here's a gratuitous post of the best of my T40's.

Nice. I miss having one of those. If it makes you feel any better, my Hartke 410 weighs more than your entire amp.
I ordered my daughter a Millenium BXP (which isn't in yet) a few weeks back. I was really impressed with the pups and 18v electronics.
I liked it so much I bought this @ Guitar Center's Labor Day sale:

The setup is pretty close already, but I have a little more tweakin to do. Totally loving the modern sounds and wicked low action with this bass!

Meanwhile, there are 2 almost identical black, maple necked Foundations on ebay at the same time: One has hit $200 ( +$50 shipping) the other is at $27.00. How could anyone discern any difference in the pictures to make them fight over one vs the other.
The cheaper one doesn't have strings on it in the photo, though, making one leery. I'm surprised the other one is in $200+ range, though. Maybe we're driving up values with our Peavey praise!
I'm digging my Fury, I think I'd like a Super Ferrite equipped Foundation.

Heres mine, we should do a Peavey Club
* I did not put the Independent Sticker on it I got it used and it was on already, and it being on the back I just left it on

What were all the color they came in? I/m probably going to paint mine, and would like to know the factory colors.
To the best of my knowledge, there was natural ash, black, white, red, sunburst and I've seen a blue one, but I couldn't say for sure whether it's factory or not.
