Ha! There was a couple lefty black Foundations out there a few months ago. I considered getting one to put the neck on my fretless to make it a fretted bass (with flair). They disappeared, now I know where maybe one ended up!

Haha, only if you checked the Knoxville Tn Craigslist.

I really like your black/black headstock and rosewood Foundation. I guess that would technically be a Foundation Custom? I had an 85 fretless one that was identical. A very sharp look.

It is indeed a Foundation Custom bigtone23 I like the painted headstock.

I like the idea of a flipped bass, Dug Pinnick played them, I think it looks cool.

Foundation fretless trivia ... you USED to be able to order a second neck for a FL model... send them a serial number.. they would mail back a corresponding neck (to your dealer)... this is how some times we'll see a bass with 2 identical serial numbers one fretted... one "t-40FL" ... cost about $125 street price

That is sick!!

Agree, that is a killer look with the reverse headstock. Definitely do it Jedi.

Pics from a few years back. Every show, no matter where, someone asked about "that old Peavey T-40".

It's now giggable - plays better than any of my fenders - not to the level of my stable of unicorns... but who cares in this instance

That's not very difficult to do Fenders are the Model A's of basses.

The TL has been handling all the gigs now.....like a champ. We had a photog friend out this past Saturday taking pics for us so I thought I'd throw this one on here. I've got shows on Thursday and Friday and the TL will be the only one loaded up....once again!

[armybass]

Loved the fretboard inlays Peavey used on these, & the Sarzo bass very classy.

I remember being 13 or so when the TL-5's came out. One of our music stores in KC (where I grew up) got them in and I think they had one of every color. I think the blue and green ones were at the top of my list.....really nothing wrong with any of the colors though!

Yes. The 1st gen models did.

 

[JEDI BASS]

Yes. The 1st gen models did.

Now that I've had 30 years experience playing almost every type of bass, I can honestly say that I have not heard a better single coil than the SF.

Why I did not like my 2nd bass (1st quality one) which was a natural/maple 1st gen Foundation, I do not know. :-/

I was young and inexperienced and wanted a Rickenbacker. Then my band practically bullied me into trading my new '92 Rick cause "it wouldn't stay in tune". The real issue was brand new strings put on right before a gig.... and my ignorance! I didn't stretch them. Anyways, I traded it (plus cash) for a Soundgear 6 string. And, I just recently got a Foundation again and LOVE IT!!!

OMG Radical TL5 !! That is an Alembic without the price tag. Peavey higher end USA made basses are so amazing.

Practicing for a Christmas concert this Sunday and using my Millennium 4 J/J. What a fine bass this is. I was planning on using my Fender P bass but this Peavey sounds and plays better.
