You might be able to whittle that price down a bit, but those Furys are terrific P-basses with J-necks. Plop a GZR pickup in and you've got magic!
Part of a VooDoo ritual?
I agree, I bet you can get it for $175 which is fine price for a great bass.You might be able to whittle that price down a bit, but those Furys are terrific P-basses with J-necks. Plop a GZR pickup in and you've got magic!
Two of my Fury basses have got the EMG GZR pickups and they sound great.
They both needed new pickups, one came with a dead pickup and the other came with a Duncan Quarter Pounder which I didn't care for.

Looks like they pulled out the foam and lined it with whatever the craft barn had on special that week. I guess the Easter grass is just extra padding for the shipping?
Also, what's with the price?! $800 for an amateur refinish?
The case is horrible, the easter grass stuff is obviously shedding all over the place.
Looks like he turned the filter on the phone all the way up for the photos. Good way to hide as much detail (or issues) as possible.
Wow, looks like the seller used what was left of the sofa purchased at the same time as the bass to line the case. I have seen grassy stuff like that in affordable furniture.
Oh, and please clean your phone camera lens before shooting pics!
It was a Washburn Bantam series bass with a TK18 Bass tremolo bridge w/ fine tuners - I believe licensed by Floyd Rose , That bridge is still sold thru CH guitars UK --no affiliation - Now back to our Peavey forum

Peavey kids are honest and pragmatic
The red one at GC appears to have recently come out of a case with foam that is dropping/smearing schmoo all over the bass.OOH! ME LIKEY! But I have the beautiful blue Foundy I got from Chuck...thats the only one I need
Also, the frets are green as can be...other than that, it looks in great shape.
I find myself looking at it and saying ohhh! me likey!
....then I have to remind myself that I sold my Foundation because I don't need a bass with pickups in those two locations.
I would also rather have your blue one than any red one on any day.

Yeah....that blue one that I bought from YOU!
For what it is worth, I have yet to play a Foundation that was not a wonderful bass. Some had issues, mostly caused by poor set up and that darn micro tilt, but all were terrific. The most amazing ones were fretless. Gee, Peavey made superior fretless basses.
My fretless was a studio warrior apparently, and has the wear to show for it. It needs to be planed, but there’s a spot under the e string where it’s worn through to the side marker(!!!) and I think planing down that low would be a lot of work and likely problematic. Someday I’d like to CA the board and plane that, as I think that’s probably gonna be best for the wood that’s still there, but I need to hone that skill on a few junkers first.
Edit: not to mention needing some way to sand in an 8” radius, or having to use an off the shelf block to convert to 9.5 or 10... just sounds like a pain lol
