The Patriot is the most beat up guitar I’ve ever bought. But I love the growl (almost, not quite Rickenbacker growl) The neck is exactly the right length for me.

I can attest to this. The one I had definitely had a lot of bite and grunt to it.

Same. My Patriot growls like a Ric. Doesn't hurt to add another SF in the neck position and use some bright rounds, too. :thumbsup:

For what I do, the patriot pickup is in the exact right spot. I can see it not being for everyone since it’s not really thumpy like a p, but it’s upper mid punchy and will cut through a mix like a knife through butter. Especially with rotos, or other stainless steels.

One of my prize basses is my passive Peavey Forum P/J which was made for a very short time. It is the best P/J bass I have ever played and one of my friends is always trying to talk me out of it. I told him I would put it in my will for him to get it. LOL

This morning a black one was listed on the Musicgoround site so I bought it for my friend. Somebody's gonna be very happy. Here is my red one:

The red one came from a Facebook Marketplace ad. I paid $100 for it and a Peavey guitar amp. The black one I am getting from Musicgoround was priced at $119 plus shipping. Still a bargain IMO. There is one listed on Reverb for $500.

I love my green Forum Plus. It wasn't quite the bargain of your two Forum scores--I initially paid $169 shipped for it. I had to have it as I was looking for a Foundation S but this was much less $$, also a PJ, US made and green. It did need a new pickguard as the original white one was very scuffed from being painted and stripped once or twice. The black pickguard cost me about $50, then I swapped the original active pickups for Wildes and sold the original pickups to a TB member. I also redid the harness-super pimp style-when swapping the pickups, too. I'm into it for about $300 now, but it's worth every penny. It's stable, sounds and plays as great as it looks.
