Did i post this in the wrong spot? My bad.

I got a new Black Peavey Millenium BXP 5 string with passive pickups, I recently put new DR Lo Riders gauged 125-45 and theyre kinda floppy. In Standard (BEADG) theyre fine, but I want to tune to ADGCF, i figure i need heavier strings but im concerned about the string tree. What gauges would you...

Understandable, buying gear is alot more fun than practising lol. Itd be pretty fun to buy that Millennium, so i probably will.

Mini shocks? Mine got hot enough to burn me when i first got it, and the battery would die in like 2 hours. I got it fixed, guy told me a crossed wire was discharging the battery, or something like that. Something was really wrong

Mines definitely not US (i had a licensed Peavey dealer repair it), the mids knob is the only useful knob, treble knob is too dull but still sounds thin, and the bass knob just makes the pickups louder lol. Thats one thing i will say, they are super hot when any frequency is boosted. And you do...

This helps too, i was worried itd be narrower. I havent owned or played the USA Millennium, but i coulda swore they had a different preamp at least (not correcting you, i genuinely dont know). The BXPs ive played really do have the worst pickups, and they need two batteries to sound that bad...

Thanks man, that helps. Or at least makes me feel better if i get the Milestone lol. I actually own a Millenium BXP AC 4 string, and had the 5 er years ago, the AC pickups are awful tho. I have an Ibanez EDA905 and im burnt on weird pickups, jazz bass pups + cheap but cool looking bass sounds...

Hi, new user, long time reader of Talkbass. I was thinking of buying a Peavy Milestone or Millennium 5 string (passive pups) for a cheaper passive 5 string and the jazz type pickups they both have. I wanted to know the more significant differences between the two, so i can decide which to buy...
