Hello.. New Member here, but long time Peavey Owner..

Hello All:

My name is Mark D. Overholser. I just found this Forum, while searching for Information about my 1984 Peavey Foundation Bass.

I learned to Play Bass, in Middle School and High School Jazz Band.. That was 44 years ago..

My Senior Year of High School, I got to play a Brand New, Peavey T45, in Black... After I graduated from High School, and worked the Summer on the Family Farm, I decided to spend some that money on a New Bass.. I was looking for a T45, since I found I really liked playing it, even though it was a Heavy Bass.. I found it was replaced with the Foundation. So what I purchased was a Southern Ash, with the Satin Finish, Peavey Foundation. I still have this Bass today, and still play it in public, once in a while..

Being an Early Foundation, ( was the Foundation released in 1983? ), it came with the same Knobs as the T45, and the Flat/Wide Pickups that I found were very Nice Sounding, and think are pretty good for being Passive Pickups...

I am guessing that this Foundation is the 4 String with the VFL Pickups . ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Peavey_guitars )


Any way, I'm finally Branching Out and getting some Pedals, and setting up my first Pedal Board..

Thanks for providing this Forum..
