So awesome sir! How does she play/sound? :bassist:

These medium scale warmoth necks are really nice! Action and relief are low. Neck is buzz free. I put an angled shim in the neck pocket and the setup is perfect. It plays incredibly easy.

I just need to find my A string nut file and set the intonation.

My red patriot is out getting a neck pickup installed, but from what I recall, this one sounds a bit more round. I'm loving it. Right now!

Oh god I want that body (if I had a nickel for every time I said that...)...:drool::roflmao:
My Gen 2 Fury is that blue.
I changed the pickguard to B/W/B and the hardware to black.
Peavey chose that blue because it was a color that Chevy used for some of the 1962 Corvettes.
Somebody at Peavey must have had a nice vette. :bassist:
 
Gotoh are the Go to for me , can't beat the machining quality at a good price.
You'll get no argument from me on that score.

Never had a Gotoh tuning peg fail and I've sets going back over 40 years. Their Carbon range is impressive, full Fender size tuners weighing just 35g and only 46g for the 4 string bridge.

Frost Blue according to one of those charts, cool color for sure...

That Fury on EBay might not be the '62 Custom Blue, it might be Frost Blue like your T20.
My Gen 2 Fury is '62 Custom Blue (according to Mech) which is definitely a darker and different shade than the Frost Blue.
Here it is with a B/W/B guard and black hardware.
It had a white guard, chrome hardware and no pickup when I bought it.
You can see the this Fury, a Foundation I sold to Chuck and your T20 in page 742 of this thread. The Foundation and Fury are 62 Blue and the T20 is Frost Blue.

If you could find a clean pair of black, ice-cube control knobs with the white numbering, that would make your Fury look pretty darn slick! It already looks fantastic, just sayin'. :thumbsup:

At this point it has black knurled aluminum knobs that look pretty good, but I would like to put Peavey lightning bolt knobs on it.
 
Hopping in here because I've been curious what the consensus is on the USA Millenniums Peavey did awhile back. The wood they used on them is stunning and some can be had for around $600 bucks which in today's market doesn't seem that crazy. Just wasn't sure how hard replacing anything on one might be if I ever ran into troubles with one.

Peavey Lightning knob vs. Peavey Ice Cube knob Fitment Question:

Own an 1985 Foundation w/ ice-cube control knobs. During that year, Peavey seemed to have made a knob change going from the Lightning P knob to the Ice Cube w/ rubber grip knob according to this thread. Read post #6 by @bigtone23

https://www.talkbass.com/threads/peavey-foundation-evolution-serial-to-date.1473543/

I have not pryed the ice cube knobs off of their shafts yet but I'm thinking the shafts are splined.

My question is....
Will the Lightning P knobs fit correctly on splined shafts?

My bass. Having a clean set of Lightning P knobs on there would sure make it look fancy! Thank you for the advice.
