The Official Peavey Thread!!!!

#241
I'm intrigued by those. I don't like pickguards, but the Ellefson signature one looks pretty sharp with the mirror pickguard. But oh (I'm guessing) the fingerprints!

How does it sound? I look at the pup and I'm thinking it's more of P-Bass sound than J (like the Millenniums).

I have the blonde model which is a BXP and am very happy with it. It does the P-sound pretty good and feels substantial in your hands. Add in the J-pickup and you get a bit more growl. Construction is pretty good and the price was right :D. I recommend trying one.

Well, its here, and I must say I am impressed.:cool: the action on this is as low as my Ken Smith almost, the EMG pup sound nice and it keeps the peavey Growl as well, and the bass is just BEAUTIFUL for the year, make, etc, must have just sat most of the time, only a few nicks, and I mean very few. if not for that, it would look brand new. Gota go now.:bassist: click on the blue arrow > to see the orig post with pic.

I had a Peavey Foundation as one of my beaters. THIN maple neck with the 2 single coil pups. It was a nice one. I made the mistake of trying out my guitar painting skills, so it is now in pieces at my buddy's house...still unfinished. One we finish it I plan to let him have it, but I must say it was a fine bass on my road to getting a Geddy.

I have a Foundation that I put together from two eBay purchases. A nice maple neck that came on a beater red body that didn't align with the neck properly (I couldn't figure it out- it was like the bridge was off center). Bought a white body from someone and put it with the maple neck. Went together in perfect alignment. Go figure. Now I have to find another neck so I can attempt a repair/rebuild of the red body assuming I can figure out why the alignment is off...another project for "some day"....or for a luthier.

I feel the same way about modern peavey instruments. They make great product, but even the zodiac series doesn't particularly interest me (I prefer the P to be closer to the neck).

The only peavey basses that interest me are the "T" series (40, 45, and 20) and some early USA foundation, fury, and patriot models with thier old school charm.
