I used to hang out at the local Peavey dealer back in the 80s and bought a T-45, a Foundation, and a DynaBass. I wish I still had them.
After a 20 year hiatus I started playing bass again last year. However, it was only recently that I re-discovered Peavey.
Here are my first two Peavey basses in the new millennium.

ubno..
Why would you want a "T-45, a Foundation, and a DynaBass." when you have a Gbass and a Bquad on the wall?

That's a great question...
When I was younger and bought the T-45, Foundation, and DynaBass brand new... I never really appreciated them because I always wanted a "Fender." I also didn't know how to properly setup a bass and was ignorant about the importance of finding the "right" strings.
I think it would be fun to revisit my bass playing past and give these models another try... but this time with a proper setup and my favorite strings... TI Jazz Flats/Rounds.
I also seem to have endless GAS and I like to "fiddle" with basses. I usually have a couple "keepers" (the B-Quad and G-Bass) and then I buy lower priced models to clean up, tune up and set up for fun.
Maybe he's interested in wood. I personally think the Peavey graphite neck basses sound pretty stale.
That is is nice looking one. But, I wouldn't give up yet - they seem to go fairly cheap.
Not even looking there. There is one local here. Check the Phoenix CL ads.
USA Peavey quality pj, pretty much sums it up. You have a Fury, so you know how good Peavey pickups are.
Nick,
Just checked out the Phoenix cl. There's more PV stuff for sale around you than I have seen anywhere. The B-90 looked good(if you like pink) and the Forum plus looked really nice too. I know you were looking for a PV pj, either should be great pieces.

They're OK.. they're obscure with a low resale value.. many times they're abused.. Nothing wrong with them - nothing notable about them.

I don't know what you mean by "dorked" but every stock BQuad and G-Bass I've ever played at a music store has sounded stale to me.
I think what MNAirhead means by "dorked" is that it's been modified in some way or neglected/abused.
$102.50 for that B-90?? With a hsc??? That's like buying a case and getting a free bass.
