Peavy Grind BXP 4

[Aruiz773]

I've had this bass since I started playing (about one year back) and am wondering everybody's opinion on this bass, or any Peavy basses that they have played/owned. I know it's a bit soon to think about an upgrade, but I really liked this bass that had a J neck and P body. I'm also liking the Stingrays.

Main reason I bought it was cause it played well, looked nice and was affordable.

I think the BXP models are all pretty nice. I had a Cirrus BXP at one time and it felt like a much more expensive bass. I've played a few Grinds and they're nice too. Only weak spot on them seems to be their electronics. You could always change the pickups out if you want a different tone.

If you ever get a chance to try out some USA Peavey basses like the Fury/Foundation/Dynabass/Millennium..etc., you should. The Peavey USA stuff is all fantastic. Definitely a step (or two or three) above the BXP models.

I have a red Millenium. Pickups are WAY hot on it. Other than that, the thing plays very nice. Action is good, neck is fast and the paint job is killer. Incredible bang for your buck IMO.

Yep, the BXP Grind 4 is a great machine for the money. I still use mine as my number 2 behind my Fender J. The worst thing I can say about it is that the control knobs have no marks for a quick visual reference.

Yea, I was thinking of switching out the pick up. Fortunately I work at a music store, so we got all the tools I could need there, only thing is I would have to go there on my day off, and lets face it, who wants to do that? Thanks for the feedback!
