I love my Fury. Regarding the metal nut: You might want to consider putting a shim under the metal nut. Or giving the neck a little relief and then setting up the bass again. But I would try the shim first.

I just scored my 2nd MIA Peavey 5er - a Dyna 5 in addition to the Foundation 5 I already have...

I traded a MIM Active P Bass Deluxe and SX P clone in at the local GC to swing the deal - when it shows up next week, I'll post some pics and a quick review... If it plays and sounds as good as the Foundation 5, I'll be happy with the deal...

Here's a pic from GC's used gear pages:

Yep. 1978, 34th week. The pencil writing on the pick guard are the initials of the people who did the work. The one with the check by it is the person who checked function before the pick guard was installed. They had a fixture the pick guard was mounted in for that. I'm sure Peavey didn't want to have to open any up for repairs. Remove the strings and too darn many screws.

Looks like the pick guard was assembled Jan 12, 1979.

Dd you think the bass was built right around the same time? Or maybe they assembled pick guards in a different areas and then put them together later?

Peavey had an assembly line so the instrument should have been assembled that day or at the latest the next.

Great looking bass. I've been following your other post. The body looks like it's a maple center section with alder wings.
