Well, ordinarily I would jump thru my bunghole for that Foundation, but I also had to refrain from buying Mike's RJ IV he sold here on TB a couple of weeks ago...and that was probably the hardest "pass" I have ever had to take, cause I have wanted a silverburst Randy Jackson for many years! Having to gut and remodel both bathrooms in my house has cleared out my piggy-bank.
We redid our bathrooms a few years ago. It sucked. Good luck!
 
Alright, I got a find for yall. This popped up on my local music-go-round's website (Greensboro NC) a few days ago. View attachment 4337841

Color me intrigued, so I went and checked it out. The bass plays great! And sounds just as good. Oh, and did I mention that it has a matching headstock?

It seems to be in great condition with only some minor scuffs that may even buff out a bit. It comes with a case too. Truth is, I'm getting married in 14 days and couldnt me more stoked :D so I just dont have the $$$. But this is a great pick up for someone :thumbsup: Below are the pictures of any knicks, scuffs, or dings I saw

That a beauty? Thanks for the hands on review. It's also on reverb, I've made 3 offers all declined, no counter no message. $400 was my latest to be declined. Ugh, that a custom color foundation...GAS is killing me!
 
Married never stopped anyone from a good Foundation
Buy Right Here!

My private stash has been going to active group members.

I've never had any issues with a talkbass transaction-- zero...

I've gotten some insane deals here "dude, wanna buy a schack fretless" and "I need a quick simple sale for an Emerald Flow"
What do you mean ? What are you selling ? Just curious. I'm think I'm GASSED good right now. (Famous last words..)
 
Here's my USA Peavey Foundation 5'er. Just got this off FB Marketplace. It's a 1999 and looks almost brand new. Came with a nice gig bag. Been playing bass since 1969 and this is my first 5'er.
I'm an old dog who's going to try and learn new tricks. LOL I'd like a number if you're still giving them out.

Welcome 60bass ! I'm sure that Foundation sounds killer ! I know for me, the post Super Ferrite Foundations with single coil, passive VFL's sound fantastic and one of the best sounding passive basses I've heard. Perfect for recording and live, (so everything !) due to the lack of annoying 60 cycle hum.

Right?! It was super clean and the fretboard is pristine! The price isn't awful for what it is but I do feel it's a bit high.

Rather its important to start a marriage on a solid foundation I wish, but it's not a need and we just have money tied up right now.

That is a rare bird, right there. I forget the official name for that finish...like a champagne color. That's only the second one I've ever seen pop up.

Edit; Is it Silver?

And whoa....is that an ebony board I'm seeing on that thing? Dude, you're on a roll, up your offer! That Foundation is worth more than the gold Fury you just snagged. To me, it's worth at least as much as the Gold Foundation that sold recently for an astonishing $800+ shipping. You'll likely never see another like it. I'm half tempted to grab it myself. :D

The only caveat I see is the total lack of any info about condition in the description. Pretty lame listing by Musicgoround.

I feel special that I'm referred by name now, ROBERT !!!! :)

It IS silver! You're right, the listing isn't great but it seems to be in fine shape

Well....this post pushed me over the edge, I bought it this morning even before I brushed my teeth! I was negotiating for about $100 off asking price, I saw this post and the fact that it was in someone else's cart...a hard quick "CLICK"!

This bass will look pretty sweet next to my Pearl Rose, Sunfire Red and Pearl White custom Foundations, now I'm only missing a Pearl Heather...

Thanks for the push @Templar. Looks like I'll have a few reviews to do for you guys, I can't wait!

Cheers!

Congrats!!! I do suspect its rosewood, not ebony.... my early rosewood Peavey boards are very dark. How would one tell the difference for sure?
