Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
That's my first Mill. Never was crazy about the color, but looking at those pics, I gotta admit... I miss it.

Wait, how does this song start again??
I can't believe how clean it is. Aside from a couple of very small scuffs on the headstock, it's in pristine condition!That's my first Mill. Never was crazy about the color, but looking at those pics, I gotta admit... I miss it.

Even more surprising is the fact that I bought it used from a GC here in Columbus, where it sat for months. How it came out of there unscathed is beyond me!

I have THIS being delivered on Wednesday but I'll be in Dallas all week!!! I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it until I get back.
I sold this T-45 about 5 years ago and have regretted it ever since, now I'm buying it back! Beautiful rare Burgundy color for a T. I can't wait.
Well, I finally found a Millennium 5 for a great price ! I just wish it was a different color.
Hi guys! I've got a question...what was the new retail price on t-40s? There's this thread that's been bugging me about "why are USA Peaveys so cheap" blahblahwoofwoof...and I have this theory that t-40s in fact have held their resale price better than many other US-made basses of their time period. But before I go spouting off facts to people, I figured...I'd verify they're facts. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day/evening/whathaveyou!

What's wrong with the color? That's gorgeous!Well, I finally found a Millennium 5 for a great price ! I just wish it was a different color.
Picked up this Black fretless Foundation from fellow TB'er Invalidprotocol. It is happy its new home next to its older brother:
I have been wanting a fretless for a long time and am glad I pulled the trigger, I couldn't be happier with it.
I tried to buy this bass, but Invalidprotocol was following etiquette and protocol and you snagged it. Kudos. Shortly thereafter, I found another early 90's black fretless Foundation on ebay and jumped on it.
$225.00 delivered to my door, including a set of new flatwounds, the original hardcase, and what appears to be very few hours of previous playing time--I think it was a fair deal. The action agrees with my "pumpkin" (as my students call them) hands and the sound is pretty f@#king cool.

I also found a Super Ferrite Foundation on ebay, Got it for $90.00 and even though the transaction was smooth, it wasn't exactly portrayed as a "project" nor did the sellers picture reveal that it had been stripped of paint, was missing a saddle, and needed triage in the wiring cavity. Nonetheless, after a lil work, its up and running.

The accquistion of these two Foundations combined with the $50.00 Foundation S I found on Craigslist has made the Peavey plunge truly refreshing. The wealth of knowledge, opinions, and images available in this particular forum reflects both the passion and generous spirit of so many of the posters here--I think you guys know who you are--to the point that it's almost infectious. Almost....

Thanks again.

Its not a bad color, I just like a little more zip - like your gold one.
That's the sunburst with SF's and flats, right next to another fretless foundation without SF's (that I got a couple weeks ago...bad GAS, I know).
I got home late from practice Monday night and forgot that this was delivered after a heavy shower. I got up in terror when I realized that the bass had been sitting out all night!
I only had time to open the box and inspect the bass quickly before going to work. When I got home and plugged her up, I noticed there wasn't any sound coming from the bridge pup. I opened up the back and this is what I saw:
So, comparing this to what I've seen posted and in the schematics, it looks like the PO switched out the pots to B500K's, got rid of the other caps on the pots, replaced the jack ( possibly), and managed to snap a ground wire from the jack to the bridge pot (maybe while tightening the jack?), all the while getting the soldering rosin all over the factory shielding. The good news? When I jiggle the cable in the jack, I do get sound from the bridge until I shift and then the bridge goes away again.
I want to clean up this mess, should I stick with the B500's or just go back to factory? I've never heard a fretless foundation with SF's before, and I only started getting Peaveys because of TB. What do you guys think?
I was contemplating putting a preamp in one of these (emg btc?), but i do like the passive tone, so maybe I'll just go with an outboard pedal instead.
