Spotted this one today. Trying to decide whether I should go back and get it.

Minor wear showing on body. Hardshell Peavey case (rectangular shape.)
Seem to remember a discussion a while back about the red Foundie with maple being a somewhat rare version. My memory correct on that?

That looks a lot like my '86 Foundation, except mine has a Rosewood FB.
Same knobs, bridge and headstock details.
Edit: on closer inspection, my '86 doesn't have the same tuners as the one you're looking at.
That bridge looks to be in incredible shape. Mine took a lot of work to get it looking half that good. That is one helluva bass right there. Don't know what they're asking for it, but I'd grab it if it's close to reasonable. Good luck

I'd have to buy that if the price wasn't outrageous. But then, I have a weakness for Foundations and feel compelled to snag every nice one that crosses my path.

I don't think the color is all that rare, not like Rose or that champagne silver-gold (or whatever it's called).

Looks like a really clean example. How much are they asking? Curious minds...

I bought a Foundation this year. It is now my primary axe and I will buy any that I can find as well. I may be driving 2 hours to buy one off of Craigslist next week.

I absolutely love the sound and action of mine. It has a thin Jazz Bass style neck and the pickups sound great. Stays in tune rock solid too.

Love Foundations!

Lookie what I just snagged from GC Used online for cheap! The guy was talking to me about the fret markers, saying how they were wood and not plastic, and he wasn't sure if someone had done that or if it came that way! lol

Also, haven't seen many (or really any) in this color. According to the Millennium brochure, it looks like Peacock Blue Metallic. I'm excited to have finally got a cheap Mill after missing like 4 or 5 in the past!

This will be #4 US Peavey I currently own, #5 overall. Currently have a GV, Mill 5+, Foundation 5 and now Mill 4JJ (sold a Mill 5 to a fellow TB'r earlier this year). These things become quite the addiction once you play them!

Fantastic deal. They'were calling that bass "seafoam".

Those Jazz-style Mill's are rare, and extremely awesome.

They didn't have a pic until today, but I was assuming by them calling it Seafoam that it had to be a US. Never seen an import with a color close to seafoam.

Great, now I'm even more excited to get it! lol

Congrats! And yes, they sure do! I just counted up and figured I have or have had 11 U.S. Peaveys now. 8 are gone, though. Only the best of the best have remained. My Cirrus 6, Mill Plus 5, and B-Quad 5. I do wish I had kept one of the B-Quad 4s I had, though. Those had a fairly different feel to them than the B-Quad 5, even though basically the same sound.

The only one I haven't tried that I would really like to is a TL-Six. Preferably, a first gen with the active/passive option. At least, I believe they made them that way for a while.
