U.S. Peavey Club

I have wondered if someone like Warmoth would make a neck to replace the foundation or other models? Has anyone used any other brand as a replacement? It’s hard to find anything that fits!
I do know the Warmoth Warhead 32" necks fit Peavey 34" scale bodies with minimal modification needed. I do not know if they have a 34" scale neck that fits the Peavey neck heel like the Warhead necks.

Jaime, If you want to reply to something someone posted, just click the blue reply down at the bottom right and it will quote them and you can then just type your reply. ;)
 
Mine has a crack about the same as at the headstock right along the line where the bi-laminated neck comes together. It’s stable and hasn’t shown any sign of getting worse. I will try your suggestion.
You can get CA glue (super glue) in various thicknesses and the thin stuff can be applied with a syringe to get it to go in a crack and make almost no mess.
I just keep putting it in a little at a time every half hour until the crack is filled up, it seeps into the thin cracks pretty well.

I will try your suggestion. I’m not terribly concerned since it is my punk beater bass that I don’t have much investment in. But I always keep an eye out for a replacement neck!


Jaime Poole..here's the ad from where I bought mine last Saturday. Threw in a nice $60 Fender gig bag too. Still struggling with the action..little too high for me. even after a teck worked on it. Like to know the secret to getting low action on these Foundations.

 
Here's one for you all. Here's my killer Teal Patriot, some of you know the struggle I had having the truss rod replaced in this neck but it all ended well even if it took 2 years. Anyway I was psyched to get it all back together and playing again. Problem, the truss rod rings terribly with the open "A" string making it such a disappointment to me that I was about to list it! I noticed it stopped if I pushed the sting down just behind the nut, so I reached out here on TB. Here's the solution that absolutely solved the problem...and extra string tree! I am so happy, and this bass is now becoming one of my favorites!

Cheers!

Congratulations on your success!

This hobby has been likewise with me, some of these guitars take years to get right, but they are so worth it when it finally happens.

I have one of those coming on Monday hopefully it will solve the issue on my foundation! I’m happy it worked for you!!
The Stealth retainers are really great. They make getting a proper downward angle on the nut effortless. For years, I had to make sure to get extra wraps of the A string on the 4s and the E string on the 5s to keep that rattle at bay. Now I just throw on a Stealth...
