Oops, I did it again - NBD, U.S. Peavey content

I have been absolutely LOVING the 1987 Peavey Patriot I got last week, as has my band. Monday was my birthday, so I had some spare cash lying around and found this 1990 Foundation on Louisville Craigslist, about 90 miles south of me. Looked great in the pic, so I made arrangements to meet, and $200 later she's mine....looks even better in person :)

That's a lot of bass for 200.00...:thu:

I fear the day the buying public at large finds out just how good these instruments are - then again, by that time I might have quite the collection and I'll sell a bunch at vintage pricing :)
 
Got the setup tweaked today - plays like butter, sounds like thunder. I am a happy man.
 
OK, got to finally give the Foundation a workout at band practice tonight with my real rig.

This thing is so much more than a "jazz bass on steroids" that many have said.

It's the voice of a thunder god.

I believe I'm going to sell my last Fender and buy more vintage Peaveys.
