No doubt a good sounding USA precision but yes its over priced, but still not expensive for what you get. I'd take that over a squire or mexican fender anyday. You can pick up vintage usa peavey stuff for around 150 quid in most cases except for the t-40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi everybody, I'm so fed up with looking for a good quality back-up P-bass, I gave in and bought this for £150. Let's hope It'll be alright when it arrives. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve[/quote] I think you've done alright there, 150 quid isnt overly expensive and you could have done alot worse for that kind of money. give us a review when you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Peavey, it was made in Mississippi on 24th April 1987. I thought - "It's only £150 - it's worth a gamble". When I get it, I'll let you know how it compares to my Tokai Hardpuncher.
