The Official Peavey Thread!!!!

[aesir6]

Just tell what kind of Peavey amp or Bass you play and also tell what you like about that peavey.......I play a Peavey Grind 4 String Custom and a Peavey BAM 2x10 Combo I really love the tone I get out of my neck through bass its real deep and has a great growl.....My amp I love that because it is real bassy with just the right amount of everything in plus I dont need an effects pedal for it

all i know is i want a Peavey Classic 400 head.

 

[FeelTheGroove]

Ive used a bunch of peavey stuff. Their 70's and 80's basses rock! I have an '84 Fury bass I use as a backup.

I use a Peavey Combo 115 and a TVX210 cabinet as my main rig right now. Puts out 300 watts and gets very loud.

I would like to try a Cirrus 5 string some day. I hear a lot of good things about them in here.

Peavey Patriot in mahogany, Peavey ProBass 1000 preamp.

I love my Peavey bass. Vintage USA, for less than the price of foriegn made gear.

It's nice to have a vintage US bass, that I caqn fool with without worry. IE star ground wiring, remove, and replace all pots, and caps. The kind of thing that would horify purists, if done to a vintage F*nder, just makes a great bass better.

I have a Peavey G-Bass with the graphite neck and it's a light, well-made bass. The neck is a bit too chunky for my tastes, though.

my first bass was a peavey. An old one. Maybe you guys can tell me what was the model.
It was a 4 string fretless, one brown pick up. With something that look like a thumb rest on the pick up.
It was natural wood, but i can't remember what kind of wood it was.
It was the same shape as a T-40.

Me second bass was a fondation. Great bass!

Peavey alpha bass and a pea vey millenium BXP

I play through a TNT115 combo on occasion. Gets the job done well enough.

 

[James Hart]

I run a Peavey Classic 400 (tomorrow it'll be through my new El Whappo )

I've got a 4 string Millennium that is looking for a new home... the neck is too small for my tastes. It's a great sounding and playing bass otherwise.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I currently own a Salmon (kind of pink) Foundation with a sweet super thin bi-cut maple neck and fingerboard. Used American Peaveys are an incredible value for what they cost. The new USA Cirrus is also an incredible value, the exact same bass with the name of boutique luthier on the headstock would easily be $3,000+.

I've got an early 90's Peavey Palaedium. I love the neck. It's extremely thin and fast, especially after I replaced the original with a graphite replica. Nice tones out of the passive pickups (which I believe are Bartolini designed).

 

[Moving Pictures]

I have a Cirrus 5 and two Fury QT V's. I wouldn't mind getting a BAM combo.

 

[dangnewt]

USA Millennium J/MM is my #1 bass - I first loved the way it felt, especially the neck. As I improved as a player and started to play in a band, I love how the bridge pickup can punch through a busy mix.

USA Millennium Standard P/J is my #2 bass - Same neck except in a 34" scale. I had been looking for a passive bass that could give me a nice P-tone. I was fortunate to jump on this deal back in december when the bass and hard shell case was less than $300 from Musicians Friend.

Basic 112 combo. It is very reliable. I just leave it at church rather than run through our small PA (it is not a big church.)

 

[Philbiker]

I have a 1993 US Palaedium, it's got a very nice tone, but the neck is too thin - makes an Ibanez Soundgear feel like a baseball bat.

I've also got a 2002 US Millenium Standard with a P-J pickup configuration. I almost never use the J pickup, I use it as a P-bass.

When I gig, they go through a Peavey MAX 160 head.

 

[velvetkevorkian]

My first bass was a Peavey Milestone III 4 string, and it's still my main bass. Would love a Cirrus 6 string... My amp is an 80s Peavey Mk IV head, dead cheap but sounds really good. Weights an absolute ton though!

 

[grimacingreaper]

I have a milestone 3 too i have tried out other basses but always come back to my peavey. feels nice and is very reliable.
