Peavey PXD Tragic

[Joe Nerve]

I'm surprised nobody's posted anything about these yet. Maybe nobody reads Bass Player mag anymore. They're listed in the new gear, will go for about $599, and look like the bass version of this:

They're not on the peavey site yet, and nor do they seem available anywhere. I think they have bit of a T bird vibe to them (lest the metal headstock) and the description sounds pretty good:

If $599 is list and they come out of the gate at a few hundred bucks, I think I might give one a go. I'm due for a new toy.

I'm a big Peavey fan...but I just can't get into that body shape. Reminds me too much of a Warlock.

 

[XtheDeadPawn]

I might save up for one depends on the pickups they use though.
I think a P pickup would look awesome on it.

 

[Basshappi]

Yeah, gotta say that doesn't do much for me but if you can rock it then go for it!
Love Peavey though so to each their own, it's all good.

Look nice I might get one depending on street price

Anyone remember the Mystic or Mantis?.. sweet T-60 with a funky body shape.. guessing they're future collectables.

Wonder the country of origin...

Looks pretty close to the Invalid Link Removed. Also kind of cool in kind of a funky weird way.

That other bass on the website looks a lot like those Maverick bassess from a few years back...

body is okay, but the headstock is ugly

 

[XtheDeadPawn]

With that headstock, the name "Tragic" is appropriate.

I'd get one if it wasn't for that hideous headstock.

Saaaaame here.

 

[VeeSpade]

At least it isn't uglier than a spector or a warwick headstock.
Way nicer than both.

China. 95% of what they sell come from China now.

Headstock looks like the butt side of an earwig!!!!

Yeah, totally remember the Mysitc. Similar in shape to the B.C. Rich Stealth, which may have come along later. Not sure.

Can't picture the Mantis, I'll have to look it up. The name is familiar, just can't remember what it looked like.

How about the Razer? That was a strange little axe.


On edit: I looked up the Mantis and yes, I vaguely remember that model. I never saw one in person... must have been in a catalog or an ad. Cool looking, though. The pick guard gave it a slight mid-century modern vibe.

It looks like it might be a good bass for metal.
