Warranty. Introduction Thank you for buying a Peavey Foundation® bass. This bass was built by the most skilled craftsmen and made from the finest materials available. As with all of our musical equipment, we have built our bass guitars using a combination of leading-edge technology and traditional hand-crafted methods. Ask your Peavey dealer for a full list of other Peavey musical equipment and accessories. • Solid poplar body • Single piece eastern maple neck • Maple, rosewood or fretless rosewood finger board option • 8" radius fingerboard with 21 nickel/silver frets • 1.5" topnut width m Graphlon™ topnut • Two frequency tailored single-coil pickups • Two volume controls m One tone control • Adjustable steel bridge • Chrome hardware • Extra-deep forearm and ribcage contour for maximum comfort Foundation® 5 Features m Solid poplar body • Single-piece, eastern maple neck • Maple fingerboard • 1 2" radius fingerboard with 21 nickel/silver frets • 1.800" topnut width • Graphlon™ topnut • Two frequency-tailored, single-coil pickups • Two volume controls • One tone control • Adjustable steel bridge • Chrome hardware • Extra-deep forearm and ribcage contour for maximum comfort Construction Body The body of this instrument is constructed from the finest western poplar. The deep, double-cutaway design provides unimpeded access to the highest fret. A special forearm and rib cage relief contour allows weight reduction, proper balance and maximum playing ease. The instrument features our polyester/urethane finish which is mar- and weather-resistant. 3 Neck The select rock maple neck is constructed from a single piece of maple to provide unmatched rigidity and freedom from warpage. Additional reinforcement is provided with a steel torsion rod. The neck's adjusting rod features rolled threads for improved strength and freedom from breakage. The ultra-slim neck features a 34" scale length and 21 eighteen-percent nickel/silver frets which are medium height, highly crowned, and polished. The neck of this instrument also employs our precision machine heads, a string retainer and a durable Graphlon™ topnut. The neck is secured to the body with four screws for maximum stability through a solid steel neck plate which features our neck-tilt adjustment. Pickups The instrument's two single-coil, high-output pickups provide high output and full range operation. The pickups have been harmonically placed at precise points on the body allowing greater response from the fundamentals and overtones to be obtained from each string. Bridge The bridge of this instrument is constructed from heavily-plated die cast metal and is securely bolted to the body at five points. The barrel-type string saddles are made from heavy-duty steel for maximum sustain and string stability and are fully adjustable for string height, tilt, and intonation/compensation. (See Adjustments: Height and Intonation for instructions.) Controls Volume Volume controls for each pickup (neck and bridge) operate independently. Rotating the control knobs clockwise will increase volume; rotating counterclockwise will decrease volume. The volume control closest to the neck regulates the volume of the pickup located on the pickguard. The second control regulates the volume of the pickup mounted in the body. Tone The remaining knob on the instrument operates as a master tone control. Rotating clockwise will result in more treble (high frequencies) and rotating counterclockwise will result in less treble and a "bassier" sound. Output Jack The output jack accepts standard guitar patch cables. (We recommend high-quality Peavey shielded patch cords.) Adjustments Your instrument has been carefully adjusted for accurate intonation and playing ease at the Peavey factory. Because playing styles or playing requirements vary, additional adjustments may be required. These adjustments should be made by your Peavey dealer; however, with a little care and by adhering closely to the following instructions, you may attempt these adjustment...
