Got it! Thanks for takin the time, that clears it up nicely! Very, very nice basses...
Somebody here hands out numbers for the U.S. Peavey Club, I forgot who.
Whoever it is should come along soon and give you a number.
Agree, the Peavey necks are hard to beat, as nice as any out there.
They also have some unique sounding pickups....Super Ferrites in the Foundation, Patriot, Slant Fury, Dyna, T20, T45, T40.
And then there are the Peaveys with various VFL pickups.
Just out of curiosity. I have Gen 2 Fury (based on the pickguard) but it has a rosewood fretboard and a black headstock. I've seen perhaps one or two others but most seem to be maple. Were these with the rosewood some kind of special run or some store exclusive? Not complaining as I love the bass and prefer rosewood fretboards on my basses.

There are lots of Peaveys with maple fretboards and those are the most basic with Peavey and Fender.
Lots of Peavey basses have Rosewood which was an upgrade and cost a few extra dollars, like $25 or something (same deal with Fender).
There are also Peavey models with beautiful Pau Ferro fretboards.
There are also Peavey models with Ebony fretboards.
And lastly there are Peaveys with graphite necks.
So I have to confess.....I haven’t touched my TL-Five since the last gig I played on it back at the end of February. I’ve had 3 gigs since then and have played all of them on my Fender jazz I picked up in a trade back in April. I pulled the TL out to give it a check up and after about 30 seconds had to ask myself....’what the heck were you thinking?’ I don’t have a scheduled gig for about another 2 months but the TL will definitely be going out in the number 1 slot. The tone and playability of that bass is just on point. If we’re getting into looks, the TL is like a Ferrari.....the jazz.....not so much. I was really studying the features on the TL and the level of craftsmanship those old Peaveys have is really something. I’ve had my hands on some other bass players instruments in these past few months as well and none have been as impressive as my TL either. Please go easy on me Peavey fam as I have strayed but have come back home.

Yes, much closer to a neck-thru USA Spector than a Fender Jazz bass.
