Bass_Guardian Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Hi all, There's a Peavey Millennium BXP 4 string in Sunburst for sale locally. What's the general consensus with these basses? Any good? What's the usual price range for second hand ones in good condition? Thanks Alex Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Had a 5 string version which sounded nice, couldn't get on with the narrow neck though so moved it on, I can imagine a sunburst would look very good indeed. Quote
kodiakblair Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Got a couple of the active ones Alex. Think they were around £150 s/h. Dead easy to play due to the thin necks. Indonesian model has a truss rod wheel adjuster and Chinese one's a normal allen key at the nut. Both the Tiger-Eye and the Violet finish is good and they're light-weight. Let me ken what other info your after. Quote
Geek99 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Buy it without hesitation, especially if it's the active one Quote
kodiakblair Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I like your thinking there Geek99 Well happy with mine so I bought 2. Quote
Bass_Guardian Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Not sure if it's Active or Passive, I'll try find out! Quote

kodiakblair Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 AT thanks for the heads up. I thought that one was over in the US. Tell you what that is a fantastic low price for one. I think I paid £250 for mine from a car parts dealer in the States.If anyone is interested in the T-20 I'd recommend you buy it quick. They don't come up too often over here. Back to the Millennium. Bass_Guardian if it's cheap enough go for it.Sound and playing wise it's a step up from the Milestone.Not that I'm sneering at the Milestone,I still like playing my own Milestone III . Quote
chrismuzz Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 If its a new one that's a good price! I'd look for a used one though Quote
Geek99 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1431533454' post='2772329'] Any good? [/quote] Yes - I had the active version in four and five string - I got the fiver for £195 from my local crack conveyors Think the active is worth the extra myself Quote

Bass_Guardian Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 It's going for £100 but I could maybe get a tenner or so off it maybe. Quote

kodiakblair Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Reckon £90/100 is cheap enough alright Go on treat yourself. No plans for moving my Milestone either, great basses Quote

Guest MoJo Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 IMHO, you won't see or feel as much of a difference in quality as you think there would be between the Milestone III and the Millennium. If you like how it looks, go for it Quote
