andybass87 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 seems to be a well put together bass, with mahogany wood, which is slightly unusual at the price point. Passive bass, so no need to worry about the battery dying on you mid gig. looks wise, its not for me, but that's obviously a personal choice. I would imaging from a pair of soapbar pickups you will get a good variety of tones. One thing to note, is that the grind bass is a 35" scale, making it an inch longer than a standard bass. The bass gets good reviews all over the internet, so that must be reassuring! For £145, you probably cant go wrong! Enjoy! Quote
Weststarx Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I've noticed quite a few positive posts on this forum about Peavey basses. Not played one myself but from general opinion on here they seem to sound pretty decent! Quote
Lw. Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I had a Peavey bass for years - super reliable & feel great to play, I kind of wish I hadn't sold mine - there was nothing wrong with it, I just needed the money! They're not particularly flashy & will never have the kind of following Fender/Gibson etc.. have but they're perfectly usable as a workhorse bass. Quote

Black Coffee Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Yes. I've a fiver in the mahogany and it's the best no fuss passive bass. Quote
hubrad Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I once tried one that a mate had just picked up.. not the bass for me, but he loved it and I think he still has it so it obviously IS the bass for him! At £145 it sounds well worth a punt. The 35" scale is actually really comfortable and not much extra reach per fret, and it gives an extra focus to low strings. Quote
goblin Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I used to have one, cracking bass for the money Quote
