Haha I love that you kept the metaphor accurate !
And it sold! Not a surprise, I was going to make an offer for the hardware and pups, but what I really need is a neck...!
Another white custom

I can say that a US Peavey guy grabbed the bass.
It wasn't me...
The steering rack in my 86 Toyota Van sprung a leak while I was contemplating an offer, and a reman rack & pinion will run me about $250 after the core exchange, plus I ordered a couple outer tie rods while I was at it for an additional $50. Rather than pimping out my RicRiot with black hardware, the money is better spent on keeping my beloved SpaceEgg on the road. FWIW, if y'all haven't already, check out Rockauto.com. It's my favorite online parts source. Was turned on to it from my nerdy 80s Toyota Van club/cult.
That's nice! Can't tell from the pics, but I'd wager that it's the cool pearl white offered with the Customs. When I got my loaded white '87 Foundation body off of ebay, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was pearl white. It's subtle, but much nicer looking than regular ol' gloss white.

Rockauto for the win. I may have several fridge magnets from them
@bigtone23 Yeah man, your SpaceEgg deserves to stay fit and healthy, and pearl white looks KILLER in person and I can only imagine that it looks great with either black or gold hardware.
@Bleecker , I LOVE your avatar. That is another SUPER rare color, as we all know and yours looks new. What a score.

Hey there all....I asked a similar question in a thread called "tell me about Super Ferrite pickups...need info..." and they sent me to this thread (thanks to some of the folks on this thread that I recognize that helped me out there, especially @bigtone23). So here goes:
I've had a mahogany bodied '85 Foundation with two Super Ferrites in it for a while now and it sounds amazing...it does the Geddy Lee thing better than my old MIJ Geddy Jazz did imo.
I have a Peavey Fury body from '93 that is beat to crap that I wanted to do the Dave Meros 4 pickup thing in it (two jazzish pickups in the Ric positions and two in the 70s Jazz positions). I've found that trying to find 3 more Super Ferrites (I have one from a Patriot I'm modding) when there is so much hype is a pain in the keester (though I am on the hunt and still will be regardless). Plus, if possible, I'd like to get pickups in an easier routable shape...preferably a jazz shape or a more common soapbar shape like EMG35 or Bart. So my question is, do any of these pickup types (or ones I haven't listed) sound anywhere close to Foundation-style single coil Super Ferrites? (I am open to any/all suggestions and comments on the following pickups tones being anything/nothing like SFs):

Speaking from MY experience, you're right @xsogol nothing sounds like a SF and it DOES the Geddy thing better than ANY other bass I've ever played, without using a Darkglass to cheat.
So, I can nail the Geddy toone from my Cirrus if I use my Darkglass Microtubes B3K.
Otherwise, keep an eye out for destroyed Foundations, etc and they are a wealth of spare parts. I DO have ONE set SF's in my parts box, and I started with three sets. I am hesitant to let them go, but everything has a price...

I need a rear cover for a 9v battery, and one of you has them 3D printed. I didn't see where the ad went....
Hey all, I’m looking to make a custom pickup ring for a spare foundation super ferrite I just picked up. I want to put in my telebass.
Would anyone here that owns a T-20 be willing to mail me a tracing of the pickup ring w/ thumb rest?
Also, does anyone know the angle a t-20 pickup is set at relative to the center line of the body?
my idea is to essentially combine the dimensions of a foundation ring with the thumb rest & angle elements of the t20.
Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, nice. It's the same color as my RJIV, gunmetal gray. It just looks so classy, to ME. I know some people hate it.
I'd rock the hell out of that...but I'm strange

I like ALL the RJIV colors because ... It's an RJIV. I could see doing a little mod to the paint with some vinyl wrap, maybe pin stripes, or something. I can't think of any good ideas now, but I'm sure after looking at it from different angles, holding it I could. Maybe some paisley on the upper horn.
