Bridge is a Gotoh, Tuners are Schaller M4S's. I did the research last night while I had it all apart... would be about $300 to buy all black hardware for it. Gulp. Turns out some Nevr-Dull polish turns most of the gold into chrome, which was better than what it was.

Are you sure that the turners are not the old style Grover Titans? The Shaller M4S's look pretty much identical, but have a different spacing between the two pins or location of the pins that fit into the headstock. I thought that they were the same until I found that M4S's dont' fit in a headstock drilled for the older Grover Titans. All the older Peaveys that I have seen use the old style Grover Titans. Grover replaced the pins with screws on their new version of the Titan turners.

I'm confused. :help: Where are the two pins (Schaller or older Grover Titans) or screws (newer Titans)? Photo request going out...

I found a pretty good shot of the new version Grover Titan, but couldn't even find a decent shot of the back of an older Grover Titan or Shaller M4S. On this new Grover tuner you drill two small pilot holes and attach the tuner to the back of the headstock with two screws that go in the two holes visible in the picture below. On the older Grovers and Schaller tuners, the tuner has two pins (cylinders, dimples, ?) that project out from the backplate where the two holes are located on the new tuner. Both the screws and pins just keep the tuner from rotating in the hole. The ferrules thread on to the tuner and hole it securely in place, but don't prevent it from rotating.

Ah so those are also Titans? I bought a set of those hoping to get something close to the tuners on my former '79 T-40 which were IMO the best tuners I've ever used, and put them on a non-peavey bass that I wanted to have good solid tuners. Good to know I was almost spot on :D Love em.

Also I finally broke down and bought a truss rod cover for the patriot, I still think its silly to spend $15 on one small piece of plastic but its the cheapest I've found and I'm sick of looking at the big ugly hole in the headstock.

Can I get a number? I just picked up a Foundation from a TB member. It's joining a non-US made Peavey Fury IV in the stable. I may be crazy to get another bass after only 4 lessons but who cares, right? Well other then my wife. :D Here are a couple pics to prove it.

Here's the NEW old one!!

Here's my all koa Unity I picked up a couple weeks ago. It was pretty rough when I got it, but some elbow grease, Teak oil, and warwick beeswax polish made a world of difference. It sounds great and plays well. It's actually on the classifieds right now because I want a lefty 5 string, but it is a really cool bass.

Just explain to your wife how much "cheaper" it is than playing with cars or motorcycles ! !

Seems to work for me ! ! :D
