I was discussing B-90s vs Foundation-S with @58kites till a crazy time this morning,started 6am my time.
Any way I've not long packed them away,as luck has it the standard Forum and Axcelerator 4 were close to the top of a pile of cases. Brought them downstairs so here's what I got.
Axcelerator 40mm wide nut, 9.1lb. Forum 42mm nut,9.5lb Axcelerator right in the middle between 38mm jazz and 42mm P-bass. Centre of neck pickup on Axcelerator 28.5",centre of single Forum pickup 29.5".
Going by photos your Forum AX has the same pickup postions as the Axcel and both have VFLs. The VFL Plus in your Forum claim to have "wide frequency", standard VFLs claim to have "wide aperture" and "wider range of frequency".
Sounds like same speil,different ad writer
I'll stick with what I said earlier,they're almost the same bass. Sticking with neck pickup on Axcelerator I didn't find a marked difference from the single pickup Forum.
On a happy note. My recently rediscovered Koa Dyna-Unity series has a perfectly good neck,now I just need to find the other Dyna-Unity. The Koa was MIA/PD for that long I forgot I owned one,wish me luck on finding the other

Those are really nice, i had one that i kept as a BEAD bass for years.
Fantastic necks,and a sort of Spector-ish rear body curve.
Yes, My $175 Pawn Shop find with original case! Nice and light with killer pups.
Thanks,
Frosty
