I hear the start of a Monkeys song...

Not strictly true , unlike later Furys/Foundations, the B-90s were discontinued before Peavey started importing necks/bodies.

They were produced on the exact same machines worked by the same button pushers as every other US Peavey .

Quality of parts varies. Patriots and B-90s both had the basic BBOT bridge seen on most Peaveys , early Foundation-S got the old Foundation trapezoid bridge/ later builds also got the BBOT . B-90s got pretty average tuners , Patriots had decent tuners , Foundation-S had Schallers.

Pickups is where the basses differ greatly. B-90s got some run of the mill ceramic PJs , Patriots used existing Ferrites. For the Foundation-S ; Hartley had Schaller re-engineer the classic DiMarzio DP 122 & 123.

So would you think these are the same pups?

Those are the Schallers that Hartley had made as copies of the Dimarzio Model P and Model J.

If you don't have a Patriot in your Peavey collection yet, buy that black one, you will never regret having a Patriot.
Great bass that sounds unique to all your other Peaveys and any other bass I know of.

Too high or just right?

Everyone here (okay, most) will say too high. If you’re in Scotland you can get these for two-fiddy.

However, per my own observation, the longer you wait the more expensive they get. The condition of the bass and whether it comes with the correct case also factors into the price.

Peavey made a ton of T-40's but the youngest ones are still about 34 years old while the earlier ones are well over 40. Like all of us, they won't be around forever.

I didn't get it.

My luthier is recovering from surgery. If his recovery lasts much longer, I might have to pick up the parts from him. I'll definitely post when it's back together.

B-90s got some run of the mill ceramic PJs

Are you certain of this? The one I have has alnico pickups, unless you're talking about the active versions, which could certainly be ceramic. I actually quite liked the pickups that came in my B-Ninety. The way Peavey did it was weird though - they didn't use pickup foam, but hot glued the pickups into the covers, and used springs. I tend to see a lot of B-Ninety's where the glue has given up and the pole pieces are falling into the body while the cover is held up by the springs. I'm not certain my pickups are original, but mine had this issue as well, and I doubt its a coincidence.

Curious, how do you know that Patriot has the wider nut...?

I can tell by looking at it. About half my Peavey 4 strings have the 1.5" nut, the other half are the 1 3/4".

My Fury is an early Fury much like a T-20 with single angled super ferrite pup with thumb notch.

Ah... that sort of changes my suggestion.
The Foundation S just tied with the Patriot to compliment your Peaveys. Since you don't have a Peavey with a split coil/P type pickup... However, you might have some other P bass type, so I don't know...

Thanks.
None of my Peavey's have a P bass type split coil pup.
