Cog1977 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) USA Peavey Millennium Plus 5-string £550 Body: Alder with flame maple top Finish: Gloss lacquer Scale: 35" Neck and fingerboard: Maple Pickups: 1x Peavey VFL active style, 1x Peavey VFL active soapbar Controls: Active 18v 3 band preamp with mid sweep control Frets: 21 Medium Nut width: 47mm Neck width: 69mm at 21st fret String spacing at bridge: 17.5mm Weight: 4.24kg / 9lb 4oz Dunlop Straploks This was originally bought here on Basschat as a back up instrument to my 5-string Peavey Cirrus. It served well as a back up and wasn’t actually used except in a rehearsal and at home! It plays great however, and for those wanting a narrower string spacing on a 5-string it’s a good fit. It feels ‘easier’ to play than my Musicman Bongo (due to neck shape I suppose). It reminds me of the smoothness of my Mike Lull, but with a narrower string spacing. The active EQ can dial in a huge range of sounds making this an extremely versatile instrument. This article from back in the day features it in a high end 5-string shoot out: http://www.statii.com/status_cats/reviews/15/index.html Here are some of the specs as listed in that article: Condition: very good with just a few minor flaws (see photos): surface scratch on the back of the bass; a slight string mark on the edge of the neck pickup; small mark on the back near the neck join. This bass does not come with a case, so pickup preferred, but willing to discuss shipping. Based in Bradford.

ebenezer Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Had one of these a few years ago, lovely bass and the build quality and tone were up there with the best of them....were it not for the tighter string spacing, i would still have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
