Right On! It looks like a good one. I like the black on black.
Awesome! Congrats and let us know how it plays (and some pics would be nice). Enjoy it!
Awesome! That Fury is killer. Black and black!
Nice!!! I had that weird, hunch-y feeling when I saw it.
I really liked that bass, but I can only have one fretless, and it should be a 5er, so I sold it. I ended up with a Lakland 5501 fretless 5 that was pretty cool, but I never bonded with it. I sold it and converted my 99 Carvin BB75 to fretless. Much better, as I really love that Carvin.
Here's a bit more to the story, the guy I got the bass from was selling a bunch of gear because he was moving to Colorado! He could be your neighbor! Lol
I just found this club and I want in.
I have a Peavy foundation 2000 fretless and just got a G bass. I was told the foundation year is 1999 (even tho the decal is called a Foundation 2000), the serial number on the back of the head stock starts with 11 and ends with 99. Any help on serial numbers will help.
Also I can not find any numbers on the G bass at all to indicate the year? The manual has a copy right date of 1997.
Any help would be nice and thanks for the page.

I've been looking at these on eBay has anyone here bought them? I wonder how hard it would be to spray them to, look like the original knobs?
Drybrush the black ones with silver then seal with lacquer, the drybrush picks out the highlights.
Sadly the shipping from Canada tips you over the tax threshold. £4 in VAT, OK. Another £8 to collect the £4 !!
Best I don't type my thoughts on that

HA! Well, most people who move to CO for non-seasonal work do move to the Front Range or up to an hour west of Denver, so it's highly possible he's within an hour's drive from me. Funny world!
Runnerman - thanks, the serial number does not fit for the foundation. I saw this post already and I can not find a number on the G Bass. So maybe someone will see my post and give me some info.
THanks again
LennyJ
The G bass serial numbers were often on a sticker on the back of the headstock. Some of these migrated to the inside of the control cavity cover, or the battery compartment cover
Welcome to our neck of the woods, LennyJ ! Peavey passion runs deep here. Best basses ever, to me. Those are some SWEET basses you got there !!!
Hi Shawn ! Yes, I bought a few sets just to have a round for when I need them. If you use primer, you'll be just fine and can paint them to look any way you want.I've been looking at these on eBay has anyone here bought them? I wonder how hard it would be to spray them to, look like the original knobs?
Thanks - I started out in the early 70's with this Peavey amp - this is not mine just a pic I found but I had the same setup. And now have 2 Peavey basses that I feel are as good as my Professional Jazz fretless.
2000 USA Millennium Plus w/ case recently posted on Richmond VA CL for anyone interested (no affiliation). Cool color and birdseye maple neck. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Shawn, the pictures aren't showing up for me, what kind of knobs are you after?
@Bleecker
The knobs are 3d printed ones. Canadian fella designed the .stl file, he prints and sells them through eBay.
