Did 87 Patriots come in Pearl White too?
Found it! So... according to this (not so sure of the year, but it must be sort of 84ish), the Patriot came in white, but not pearl white. Now, where is that banana yellow Patriot? Have yet to see one.

I have both a 4-string and 5-string Peavey Foundation and I absolutely love them. Criminally underrated basses and so cheap too. The 5-string version has a really narrow comfortable neck that I wouldn't have thought possible on a 5-string but it works. Very well.

The sound from them is great too. I've not tried the Super-Ferrite pickups but the 90s soapbars really do pump out some sound.

Somewhere here someone here shared at some point here a brochure that showed a yellow patriot with black pick guard...I'm not big on yellow but it looked pretty badass!

Edit- was it you @Giffro ?
