Details

*** SOLD ***

It's a sad day, folks. I have been laid off and my last day of work is June 30th. I'm virtually certain I will be moving once I find a new job. So, I have decided to thin the herd. Time to get some cash out and make a move easier all at the same time.

The first one up for sale is my Peavey G-Bass. It is in MINT condition. It is black holo-flake in color. I upgraded it to the Millennium preamp with Peavey OEM knurled metal knobs. It will come in the Original Hardshell Case.

If you don't know what a G-Bass is, it is a Made in USA Peavey with a graphite neck. Unlike some G-Basses, on this one, you can see the graphite weave on the back of the neck. It has a Gotoh bridge, ash (I believe) body, Pau Ferro fretboard, the single Peavey VFL MM-style humcancelling pickup, and practically new Cirrus nickel roundwound strings.

The Millennium preamp upgrades it from the stock 3-band EQ to a 3-band with a sweepable midrange frequency. You can adjust the frequency that the mid knob boosts/cuts from 200Hz - 2000Hz (I believe).

If you want a Peavey Millennium, with a graphite neck and single MM pickup (i.e. sounds killer and plays GREAT), this is the bass for you!

Weight is a nice, light, 8.0 # (according to my digital bathroom scale). It is the lightest bass I own. Lighter than my MPG Level 5 or my '66 Precision or the Millennium 4 I used to own, which are the closest.

I bought it from a collector a while back and have played it very little. It really is like new.

I would like to get $600, shipped in the OHSC, to the CONUS. If you know anywhere that you can get a bass with a graphite neck that sounds and plays this well for less, please PM me and let me know. I'm just trying to ask what I think is a fair market value for what it is.

Bump for a great TBer, and a great bass. I've owned two in my lifetime. The necks on these are thinner then a Jazz and are made by Modulus. These basses kill, especially if you like to tap, thump, slap and bang.

If I didn't just get serious gas I'd have already sent you the money Stu!

Come on peeps, give the guy some love and cash! You won't regret the bass at all!

Thanks, Tom! I really appreciate it.

On the neck, after I got this bass, I took it to my tech to setup. He's been doing this for 30+ years. When I picked it back up from him, his words were "the neck on this thing is incredible! It's the closest I've ever felt to an actual 60s Jazz." I have never laid hands on a vintage Jazz at all, so I can't comment on the accuracy of his statement. But, I do think the neck feels really nice and definitely slender.
