U.S. Peavey Club

Looks good from far, but far from good. It's either really dirty or has been refinished poorly. And, look at the E srring from the pup to the bridge. What the heck is going on there? I'll be very, very surprised if it sells anywhere near that price.

It really does look nice until you zoom in though.

I see what you sayin' I was thrown by the squier neck plate. Also I have never seen a fury with a painted neck.

Cheers!

Normally, quad coil refers to a humbucker, where each coil is a split humcker on its own. That allows for several different coil configurations, all of which are hum cancelling.

Straight coil, like a jazz? Sure
Dual coil, like a regular humbucker? Fine
P arrangement? No problem
Reverse P? No problem
 
Well I'm looking at the owner's manual for the Peavey Palladium and it says the pickups are quad coil design. There are no controls to split coils, etc., only a pan knob.

Those pickups were designed by Bartolini with a lot of input from Jeff Berlin. Peavey may have had someone else make the PU's since most were made in Korea but they are really Bartolini designed.

Whatever they are, they sound very good to me. I had one of the last model Dyna 5's and in passive mode it sounded very much like the Palaedium. In active mode it sounded okay but in passive it really sounded great. I have no idea what PU's are in the last model Dyna basses.

MAYBE you have a blank canvas to wire it custom how you like it. I had my local tech add coil taps to my Ibanez SR5000 so it could be series / parallel and that wasn't stock. Just an idea. You could end up with a pretty custom Pbass with coil taps, or something else.

Sorry..I'm an old timer and don't know how to do pix...and I'm too old to let it matter. I've still got my old flip phone.
I can relate ...

So.....
I've got an empty Foundation body and one T40 toaster pickup.....where exactly would be the best place to put that one pickup?
I am tempted to put it in the mudbucker location knowing it will provide deep bass tones but not be too muddy because it's a T40 pickup and not an actual mudbucker.
But I would like to to know what you folks think is the best spot?

Keep in mind I have:
Gen 1 Slant Fury
Gen 2&3 Furys (Geezer pup in each)
Patriot
Gen 3 Fury that has a Thunderbird pickup in the exact P position
EBMM USA SUB Stingray
Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision like the Fender 51P
Squier 2010 Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB (which is a '72 Tele reissue with the Fender wide range humbucker in the mudbucker location).

So what would be the thing to do with that Foundation body and T40 toaster pickup to make something I don't have covered?
