Nope. I'm way up in the north country of NY, near the Canadian border.
Bummer. I sent the seller a message, asking if he'd ship. I haven't heard back. I'd really like to get that Patriot and turn it into a RicRiot.
Got in from work tonight & after seeing various pics of Foundations here, got my '86 Foundy out of it's case and had a play through my Fender Rumble 200 combo 
. Still amazed how that the skinny smooth neck feels and that sound you get with the SF pickups, plus the fit & finish is far better than a lot of basses out there today.

Hey all a Fury popped up locally and on my way to grab it now. It's got the block style logo but terrible pics, the owner said it has been in a storage unit for a couple decades, hoping for the best, guessing it's 94-95 i'll post a couple picks when I get home...
Thanks for that, I'll follow up. Hard to pass up for a C-note.Good luck hope it goes well for you
Ain't that the truth. I had a fellow play my Unity LTD for a couple of tunes that normally plays Spectors and he didn't want to give it back, seriously started talking a trade. He was aghast at what I had paid and invested to get such a great bass >$500 all in, I said no way.Got in from work tonight & after seeing various pics of Foundations here, got my '86 Foundy out of it's case and had a play through my Fender Rumble 200 combo
So back with the Fury not bad at all, needs a good going through and a set-up (way lower action than even I like) it sounds great! Darker tone than my 92 Fury.
Not sure what strings are on it no matter they are toast anyway...
The good: decent shape for decades of use on it, it's fully working (truss rod, nut, pots, pickups, tuners).
Goodies:
A nice RoadRunner gig bag.
4 cables 2 Fender 1 Monster and a 1/4" to USB (not sure what it's for). Also New packaged DiMarzio cliplock strap and Proline wall hanger.
The bad: need to repair/reseat the string tree, missing bottom strap pin, various dings/scars...

That's awesome !!! Congrats !!! The "bad" still sounds good !
I played my '92 Fury today that I leave at the studio, so I only get to play it once a week, and it HAS to have the lowest action / best feeling neck of ALMOST every bass I own. Actually, I can't think of a better playing bass than that, but some I own have better electronics, which is no stretch since it's a passive Pbass.
I hope you get a lot of joy from that bass. I'm now convinced the Fury is one of Peavey's BEST basses.
That bass is sweet AND you got a Road Runner bag ! That's easily $60, so $40 for a Fury ? Sign me up.
Looks like you got a great deal. Just a FYI on what else is out there....

Right on thanks, yea the "bad" not so bad workin on it now, bonus cables, gig bag, wall hanger, ect. and I agree wholeheartedly on the Fury bass being one of the best basses for various reasons especially the necks and my 1992 Fury is my #1 and has never let me down!That's awesome !!!

@mb94952 what color is your 92? Thow up a pic if ya got one.
Just finished squaring mine up.
Tugged the neck to treble side, fixed the string tree, strung it up with D'Addario EXL160's for now, about to give it a run good times!

The green Forum Plus is super nice, love the Racing Green body with the black pickguard.
Hey,
I picked up a Fury at Salvation Army A.K.A. "Sal's Boutique".. it was really beat up with about 1/2 inch string height at the 12th fret!...Paid $75 and proceeded to rebuilt it. Between 2 coats on Silver automotive paint, 3 coats on Lacquer, new Flat wound strings and a visit to the Luthier (to tune the neck in better than I did), the cost was about $235. I ended up selling it ta a young lady who wanted to learn for $200. Ok, I lost a few bucks but it went to someone who will use it for a few years until getting something better or at least she didn't spend that much for it...
Mine is black with a broken pickguard. It has the same break near the input jack they all have, which has always been a pet peeve of mine with Pbasses, so I just Gorilla taped the whole thing to make it all black. It was originally white, but this looks better to me.@mb94952 what color is your 92? Throw up a pic if ya got one.
