Yep! Sky jump, I've adjusted the truss rod, the string height at the bridge, and changed the strings from rounds, to flats, and tape wounds. Right now I have minimal relief and the string height very high and it buzzes up a storm.

Zoinks. That's a bummer. I'd be inclined to clamp the frets and glue them down, then try to level it out with some counter-fall-away, but if you think that's probably not the ticket, then its probably not.
This is probably the one time I've heard of a bad Peavey bass neck. With 7ender, I expect it, but not with USA Peavey. It had to be neglected for years in a bad position by the person who owned it for the longest time in its history. I've NEVER had a problem with a USA Peavey neck. My $150 dollar '92 Fury has stupid low action with zero fret noise. It outplays EVERY Pbass there is.
Yes, Peavey necks are interchangeable for the most part, as far as I know. Send it to :

I came in to say what these fine gentlemen have already said.
Too much relief and a low action does not work.
Ski jump is very real with Peaveys (and Fenders and G&L) with the micro tilt. That feature gets abused and it causes issues that can usually only be fixed with some neck heel fret filing or a trip to warpedneck.com. I can vouch for warpedneck, they took my compound issue Dyna 5 neck (twist, ski jump and fall away at the nut) and made it factory straight. I was charged almost double for the treatment since it required two separate treatments, but it was the best $135 spent on that bass. It's perfect now.
Oh, and yes, the Foundy 5 neck should be fully interchangeable with a Dyna neck. However, consider warpedneck.com. He is a miracle worker and you get to keep your bass fully stock. The SF equipped Foundy 5 was short lived and relatively rare.
Apparently the seller doesn't realize the mirrored finish accentuates his bright green panties

Two Patriots for sale on CL, northwest of Detroit. Priced nicely. Not a fan of the pickguard job at all for the white one. (No affiliation). Also has many Peavey heads listed. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Potential cause for a celebration over here.
Possible buyer for the MIDIbass
Sale dependent on 30 year old tech working properly

Nice little pickup from ebay, not that I was in dire need of either, but those t-20 pickups aren’t something I see too often.
Might upload a video of the probass and make a comparison
there is no proper HD videos lol if the probass
firebass I’ve seen but I’m actually here more bottom and a fuller rounder tone

NICE, Jordan !!! I still think the Firebass 700 is THE BEST solid state amp out there. So warm and LOUD. Enough power to play a stadium, it seems. I don't know if there's a difference between the red or white face, but the fact that everything is on the front makes SO much sense. I'll never forget the time we played a big club show in 2010 and the soundman said my Firebass 700 was the EASIEST amp to work with. No flashlight needed to plug in the D.I. since it's on the front. I played it with my Cirrus that night and my tone was getting compliments all night !
Also, as far as neo cabs go, I find that GK, SWR, Mesa, and Bergantino sound the most ceramic to me. Good choice there !
I hope you make the video, Jordan. That would be nice to watch. Not too many Firebass 700 or Nitrobass videos out there. The Nitrobass is the younger sibling. Same amp, less power.
Just put my G-Bass neck on classified ....

Modulus had nothing to do with the G-bass , the necks were wrapped by Bell & Carlson.
Ugh... That's why I said IDK who made it and I'm honestly tired of the debate. I don't care anymore !!! I changed the ad, but it's a moot point now.
I would fully scoop the teal Patriot and Standard head. Glad I'm not in driving distance!
We're just joking and I keep shaking my head at being at fault for starting this thing.
It's still funny that this came up when I posted a gloat thread about buying a Fleabass (no not the cartoon looking one)...
