U.S. Peavey Club

For the record, that Foundation is a 1991.
Your Foundation is 1991 and your Fury is a 1992.
My Foundation and Fury are both 1992 ...all four with the same headstock details.
So ubernator had it right on that Ebay Fury ....late 1991 - early 1992.
I've looked at lots of Peavey bass pics and that headstock shape and those logo positions and sizes don't seem to turn up that often.
The soft contours of it remind me of my Guild Pilot headstock.

Since I have four Peaveys on the wall here and one on the way.
...and two that I traded away last year.
It's probably way past time that I asked for a number.
Here are pics including the Fury with the black neck that will be here Monday.

58kites you are member #399 and welcome to the club!

I'll take #400, please!
My 93 Foundation. Just got it a couple weeks ago. 8 pounds, 1 ounce, plays great, sounds awesome. Super clean, the neck is really nice, rolled edges and smooth frets.
I like it so much that I have a matching 84 Foundation on the way. It should arrive early next week.
These 2 basses will strengthen my membership in the Black and Maple club, haha.

I have a worthy distraction, I finally installed Seymour Duncan blackouts 2 band preamp in my OLP MM2 to go along with the Warwick MEC FNA pickup that has beeb in there for 15 years. It is complete, a killer active! Lots of snap with the treble switch set to 6.1khz and the knob cranked. This has so much bass I tend to run that nearly flat. This will be a worthy backup if I got into a band where my 4 string FNA was "the sound". And I plan on finding a band where a punchy snappy stingray works, along with my USA Peaveys. Hell, with the 106 85 67 48 NPS roundcore prestia strings, it even holds up OK down in drop c, so I may still use it with the soad tribute from time to time. I set this bass up really good !

Very nice. Looks identical to my '92 with the rounded headstock, SF's. Killer machine. I get a lot of complements with mine.

I have that same pre in my Squier Bass VI. It's a killer for sure! At $50ish, it's also a steal!

Me too! It really is a killer machine. At $200 and being a 9/10 for condition and playability, how can you not like it?
I have always liked Peavey basses, now I truly get it. Now to find a black T45...

The black and maple looks so much better than my red and maple.
At some point I should strip and repaint mine.
I landed on black instruments a while ago and held fast to mostly waiting and picking that color. Over time, black doesn't get on my nerves like most other colors (except green, I like it too). I will get other colors, especially if they are rare or extra poppin'. Plus, my lady doesn't pay close attention to the details of my instruments, as long as they are black, they sneak in and out of the basement jam space nicely... haha.

Actually, my Furies are slant (not pictured yet) 1983, Red/black/rosewood 1989 and my all black one is a 1994.

I am going to try and do a photo-shoot of the collection this weekend. I'll get pics of the headstocks for all.

I'm mixing together your collection and Kodiaks. :facepalm:
You've both got Foundations with that same headstock, and he has got the White Fury w/Black guard the exact same as I have.
Hope I've got that correct now.
Until now, I wondered if the logos on both of mine were somehow printed out of whack, the model name being the larger print (but still not big) and the tiny Peavy logo right out at the end of the headstock...a bit unusual looking as far as advertising goes.
 
@58kites
My photos will be easy to spot. They all feature a beech floor and a cream storage heater :thumbsup:

The small Peavey script on the peghead end is on my Sarzo,TL 5,Unity,Dyna-Unity,Foundation S and Patriot,just noticed it's on B-90 too. I can see your point from an advertising POV. Peavey took it even further with the Tragic/Void PXD basses.
Except for a tiny script on the pickups,there's nothing saying make or model. Maybe anonymity was the sales pitch.
