U.S. Peavey Club

[MNAirHead]

I picked up a case for a recently acquired Foundy and after taking it out the foam which had deteriorated has adhered to the strings. Anyone have a safe, easy way to remove it?

Replace the strings and use soap/water/pateince on the body---- never a solvent as will splotchy remove patina

New red foundy 80 bucks I'd call it a steal.

 

[sharkwagon]

A steal, I'd call that grand larceny!

Sweet score!! Nice brothers you have there!

 

[rusthoneybass]

Thanks y'all! I am gonna take some close ups of the red foundy its has some pretty curl on the neck. I love my foundation basses this generation in particular.

 

[tk421]

did someone modify the headstock on that red one? otherwise, it looks like mine did before i stripped it (with a maple board instead of rosewood).

i'm guessing late 91- mid 93 range? star wars font + super ferrites is my favorite combination.

 

[rusthoneybass]

It doesn't look to be touched the white one however is a mystery. Maybe you can help me never seen another one like it the pickups don't have anything written on them except Peavey in the corner. It also seems the head stock shape is different. Is it a transitional year where they were about to switch from the super ferrites to the vfl's? Just curious as to what anybody thinks? Also those are my favorite foundations as well I have had a newer one with the vfl's didn't like it at all.

Yes stock pickups -late foundation before the model and name changed

 

[tk421]

from what i understand, the plain peavey pickups are the transition between the super ferrites and the vfl's. that would place it in the 93-94 range iirc.

as for the headstock, my 93 with SF and rosewood board has the bump like your white one. i have not ever seen one like the red one - it looks a lot like someone tried to sand the bump flat, kind of like the SX Ursa headstock ... Maybe Tim would know?

 

[MNAirHead]

During this period little differences were tested

It's rumored that there was an effort to streamline, refine and reduce these models

Youll also notice that the tl5 and fury had minor nuance changes etc

Doesn't make any better or worse - just modified

"As kind of the rule".... The hardware is better early... The ergonomics are more refined later

At the end of production there are hints that supplies would be migrated to the subsequent model ---- tony's stellar tl5 has the hand crafting of mid life USA peavey with the technical improvements of the cirrus/millenium

 

[TheDude007]

Here's a question for all of you, does anyone know of a place that supplies truss rod covers for these older MIA Peavey's? Specifically, I'm looking for one for my '84 Foundation. Thanks in advance for any info.

Can I get a number? I posted pictures in post #129.

Club bump... anyone buying or gigging anything?

Noticing the USA stuff on craigslist here is getting snapped up and Ebay pricing is going up.

Just sold my early '80's Foundation with hipshot bridge locally on Craigslist for $200 - I think it's more that a fair deal !!

 

[puremusic]

Do anyone know if all VFL pickups in USA Cirruses are the same size 4, 5 or 6 string I heard that they are but I don't know for sure? I am only asking because I will be replacing my neck pickup because of issues that it is having.

 

[CrewsControl]

It's amazing.

Very nice. Another one in trans red went up on eBay a few days ago, '83 serial number.

Is that a Fury next to it? I have a red Fury with maple board, but not metallic or pearl finish like yours.

 

[keithbroussard]

These are my babies! And I have a green TL-5 getting upgrades this week.

Sweet!!!

Got my eye on a trans red TL-Six (1st gen) & a trans-green TL-Five (1st gen)... The current owner of the TL-5 has proven rather difficult to get in contact with.

Frustrating!!
