ebenezer Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) After consideration I've decided this bass is too nice for me to let go, therefore I have withdrawn the bass from sale and apologise to interested parties for any inconvenience caused. Up for sale is my peavey millennium tiger eye (usa) this is a top spec custom shop quality bass!.....this bass is in wonderful condition (mint) and retailed at £1500 new these basses are very rare on these shores....Talkbass members hold these in very high esteem and rightly so! the bass features birds eye neck and finger board with abalone dots.....neck is graphite reinforced....35 inch scale alder body with flame maple cap. top quality hipshot ultralite tuners and hipshot 3d bridge millennium pre amp with semi para mids.....active pickups, so very quiet. trade wise, i would look at a 4 string bass, cash either way......happy to ship at cost (uk) Edited August 2, 2018 by ebenezer withdrawn
Tubster Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Great basses indeed. Peavey realised that the electronics on the Millenium sounded so much better than the Cirrus and ended up replacing its pre with the M pre. Had a 4 string but now just the 5 tiger eye in blue.
Manos Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Hi mate i am interested tobuy tha bass can you pls let me know
bassmayhem Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Wow! I've had two four string basses of these. I'd dare say they are equally good as my US Lakland 55-94 I had. Only difference in function is the bridge pickup switching and the active/passive mode the Lakland had. Otherwise same same. Really good looking! I already got three five strings, otherwise this one had been mine. Good luck with the sale! Buy it, somebody! Buy it! Edited July 20, 2018 by bassmayhem
bebabass Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I have a cheapy BXP Cirrus 5 that I bought to try 5 stringers. I love it. Where are you at , would love to try this bass..
ebenezer Posted July 21, 2018 Author Posted July 21, 2018 Just for info folks, i am based in the Durham area.
jassbass Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Great guy to deal with,wish i needed a 5er quality bass
Twincam Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Fantastic looking bass. Love the neck. Always wonder why Peavey are a bit underrated, maybe a UK thing? Because I've handled a fair few and owned 3 of them myself. Even the budget ones are decent reliable instruments. So this USA model will be excellent. To add Mark is also a really good guy to deal with and would not sell something that wasn't right. 1
ebenezer Posted July 25, 2018 Author Posted July 25, 2018 Bump.......some interesting trades on the cards......Hmm

I've had a couple of Peavey basses over the years and they've been great .. a T-40 in particular.. And this looks like another exceptional quality Peavey design/build.. And a lot of bass for the money too! GLWTS ☺

And a lot of bass for the money too! GLWTS ☺ The problem with/for Peavey is that they make equipment in at least three customer segments: the beginner's stuff, the semi-pro stuff and real pro stuff. (They are not alone doing that; hello Fender!) Most of the time the shops carry the cheap models, making Peavey a cheap brand in people's eyes. Also, they make different price segment models with similar name and appearance so you really don't know what you see. (Like Yamaha and all their look-alike basses...) Also, they sold the Premium basses very expensive at first, and then changed the manufacturing country and lowered the price, if I am correct. And then, not too many "stars" play Peavey gear on TV. I like Peavey gear: they are work horses. The best tube/valve amp I've had was the VB-2, a.k.a. the SVT killer...
