Hi everyone,

I recently acquired this Peavey Foundation. Was wondering if anyone can tell me more about the pickups, are they still Super Ferrites? Doesn't say it on the covers. There is also something weird going on when both volumes knobs are turned to the same level; I have played jazz bases before, but the frequency cancellations on this bass are strange, almost like a phasing effect; volume goes down quite a bit, same with bass frequencies. The bass sounds definitely better when only one pickup is used, but that can't be, right?

Any insight is greatly appreciated! I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere or if this is the wrong location.

Are any members looking for a closet queen GV (Sunburst)?

I've never gigged it or practiced with it (i gig an upright and 7 - never practice)... Sat in the case.

Why sell? Going through my gear and removing the stuff that will never end up ay the church... GV, composite acoustics, quantum 6, grand piano, etc are all moving.

I just quick sold the other GV (i had 2) for $800 locally.

Getting used tp my TL-Six, starting to like it more. What a fun bass to play.
Here it is next to a supermod 4 string and my GK MB212. Best I could do for a photo.

Since MNAirhead went there, I also have two GK Neo cabs. I have the 210's and I LOVE them. I also have the SWR Golight 210's. I am a fan of 210's. BUT, I used to own GK NEO 212's and they were all I needed. Even for an outdoor gig !! It put out the punch of 210's and the volume of 410's at half the weight. Perfect, really.

Nice.
I do wonder if a bigger enclosure would throw more heft, but so far it seems very adequate for my gig life.

I just cut to the chase and have an ACME Low B-2 Series II cabinet and Hartke LH1000 Amp. Will handle anything and it's quite portable.
Cutting to the chase is my very point with the MB212- good sound, enough presence, an able combo as a simple solution.
I only think about playing now, which is no thought at all. More fun! Now!! :D
