You don't see those 5 string Foundations with the super ferrites too often, I sure wouldn't mind having one...
My Foundations were fitted with what looks like VFL's.
Regarding the 4 and 5 string necks, not a great deal of difference.
I get 38mm and 43mm using the ultra scientific method of holding a ruler at the nut
as I pour coffee down my throat while leaving for work.
I don't think my T 40 is too heavy. I'll weigh it tonight.

Surely you have Super Ferrite equipped Foundations?My Foundations were fitted with what looks like VFL's.

Sadly, I passed on what may have been the lightest T40 I have encountered...I swear it could not have weighed much over 8 lbs....most seem to be 10 to 13 lbs which I cannot cope with (although I have been getting my weight in order the past 6 months).
Definitely not Super Ferrites on the Foundations. Mark Beem reckoned the pups were a in-between
model.All they saw is Peavey on them and look different from SF's.
Had another go with the rule and string spacing on the Foundation 5'er was 17mm.
And the T 40 weighs a comfortable 12lbs.

12 lb T-40.......that seems average weight.
You own no Foundations with SF pickups?
These Foundation pickups you speak of, are they quiet individually?
If you get time can you measure the output resistance too?
I think I have seen those pickups before as I reside in Peavey country!
I really like SF pickups but want to try the later versions.

The pickups from the early 90s foundations that have trim rings and look just like super ferrites are super ferrites the covers are just molded with the newer logo. They sound the same to my ears as I have both.
Agree with above and the customer service Peavey employee who ID"ed my new Foundation as a 1994 said the same.
This one sounds the same as the one I fixed for our local high school that does have SF's.
When I get the high school's bass back over winter break to go over, I'll pull the pickups and open the electronics cavity and get pictures AND do the same with my 1994.....sort of a side by side. The meter will come out to check the pickups' ohms as-well.

I've been kinda busy with work past couple of weeks so haven't had much time with this beauty.
This is my 1st carbon fibre neckand I must say it's very nice,sparkly black finish ain't bad neither. It can from Greenock on the west coast of Scotland
so the Scottish Peavey population remains the same
All it needed was a slight raising of the action to suit me .

As I admired the restored Dyna-Bass in ewok's thread, I realized I hadn't shown my latest beauty, a rare mahogany Foundation.
yes sir! as long as it's got the mounting ring, which is what i really need the dimensions for.
