At @Soundchaser11460 's defense, I KNEW this looked familiar. He was quoting the very first post that started this thread.

After many months of dragging my feet, my forum plus is finally back in working condition. I bought it on TB as basically a closet queen, but it had some serious neck twist/ski jump that I hadn’t noticed until it was too late to return or ask for money off, etc.
Fast forward to today, here it is with a freshly planed board, new frets, a new bone nut, a new bridge, and I buffed the satin finish up to a more 80s Peavey-ish high gloss. It plays good! It’s still not immaculate in terms of board geometry, but I already took a lot of material off and at this point, playing clean is good enough for me considering how rough it started. Consider this a cautionary tale that great condition doesn’t always mean great condition, ya know?
I do think I’ll be converting it to a passive system here soon, leaning toward the Geezer set. Maybe a black pickguard? Black pearl? Idk, opinions welcome lol

B/W/B pickguard and a set of Geezers is exactly what I would do.
Somebody scored a USA Millennium 4 J/J off GC this morning for $214.99. It was listed as a BXP.
WOW !!! It wasn't me. Gotta love when the stars line up like that. That is crazy. It's exactly like mine. I own a white one, too. Best growl, ever.
It was already gone when I saw the listing or it would have been mine. LOL

Looks like a real player, I love the wear on that! What's the fourth knob I wonder...?
Yes. The tuners, bridge and electronics are USA.
Yep
No bxp I’ve ever seen same with white
And 5 controls and a headstock like that
And a bridge like that
According to the ad,Peavey Foundation bass with up-graded EMG Jazz active pickups and 2 volume / 2 tone controls. $350, no trades. Ad will be deleted when sold. Include your phone number for a reply. I will call or text you. Thanks and stay well.
Apparently I didn't read the ad...thanks! Upgrade is questionable.
Assuming you're talking about switching necks and THEN moving the bridge to compensate, that would definitely be possible provided you have the real estate to spare behind the bridge. Can't say I've ever done it though.
No. Assuming the scale length is the distance from bridge saddle to nut, using a narrower bridge that can be moved back an inch from the original.
