SOLD Peavey USA Millennium Black n Maple w/tons of Birdseye (Price Drop)

Wow what a deal!

 

WOW... If this was a 5, it would be mine!

 

Yep, I'll throw out the second 'if that was a five it would be mine!' That neck is killer!

 

Wow, awesome. If my Hofner sells on here and this bass is still available, I'll take it. Damn.

 

The figure on that neck is gorgeous! And, what a deal! Someone should definitely snag this soon. I'm surprised it's still here with all the Peaveyphiles on here.

 

Man, that is a wicked-looking bass...unabashed USA Peavey fan here, I currently own a Cirrus 6, a T-40, and a TL-Five.

Even though I am more of a five-string guy these days, I think I would be tempted to snag this one if not for the fact that (A) I just bought a NUB a couple of weeks ago, (2) I have other upcoming expenses that are taking priority for now, and (C) the seller apparently only ships CONUS.

OP, this is a "regular" Millennium, right? Would you happen to know the difference(s) between these and the Millennium Plus models? Thanks in advance...

 

Help me out here. Im looking for the USA desinator on the pictures of the front and back of the headstock. Where does it say its a US peavey I'm missing it.

 

1. The Millenniums have only been recently reintroduced as an import line, and those are NOT being made with birdseye maple necks/boards. You can go to the Sweetwater website and peruse the Peavey selection for confirmation.

2. You can probably contact Peavey with the serial number of this bass - which, if I am reading correctly (rear of headstock) is 11124732 - and they should be able to confirm that it is a USA model.

3. Seller has 136 positive-rated transactions on this site; I doubt he is trying to pass off an import as a USA model.

 

4. The imports come only with either a two single-coil or two-humbucker pickup configuration, as opposed to this Millennium which has the humbucker-single-coil setup.

 

I've owned a number of 4 and 5 string Peavey Millennium Pluses. This particular one strikes me as odd because it is obviously not a Plus (no D-tuner, no flame top etc), but, that being said, it has a more heavily-figured birdseye maple fingerboard than any Plus I've ever seen (and the non Pluses are typically plain maple.)

In any case, amazing deal and I wish I could justify it.

 

That's why, in an earlier post, I asked the OP to list the differences between this one and a Plus model, as I was confused too! I thought only the Pluses came with birdseye necks/boards...maybe it should be considered a "Millennium Plus Lite"?

 

Yeah. I would say with near-certainty that this is a Millennium Standard that has the added random and serendipitous bonus of insanely beautiful birdseye maple figuring. I am having another custom built otherwise I would grab this. I have a Millennium 5 Plus that has awesome birdseye figuring but it's not even close to this one.

 

If I only add one more to my modest collection of USA Peaveys, I'm hoping it's a Millennium or Millennium Plus. I have heard nothing but good things about these basses, and I already know from experience that USA Peavey necks feel like they are made for me personally.

I'd also like to grab a Peavey Axcelerator/Axcelerator Plus, and maybe a Foundation eventually...

(Now back to your regularly scheduled "for sale" thread...)
