I just bought one of these today. The tone is ASTOUNDING. I could not believe it was Peavey. The look is B.A. if you are a rock n roller. It is reminiscent of the great Phil Lynott with the mirror pick guard, except that it is a PJ bass. It also comes with P bass quarter pounders and 1 jazz quarter pounder, both Seymour Duncan. The build quality is just as good as the Fender MIA's IMO. I have had several of those but I wanted something a little different this time. Great deal for $539 new.
