Peavey C 5

[PURPOLARIS]

Hi all, this was my venture into the world of 5 strings which wasn't too bad and I actually enjoyed playing this bass but it's never going to replace my USA Jazz so I've decided to stick to 4 strings for now which means that this will mostly lay about doing nothing . I think it's a Peavey Grind 5 although I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone if it isn't. Here's the official blurb

This all neck-though bass resonates like a tuning fork! Get the rich bottom end you deserve with this natural neck-through-body bass crafted from mahogany, maple and Imbuya side wings. A unique "scooped out" area in the lower wing doubles the distance between the strings and the body making it much easier for slap style playing or high-fret access.

Features:


35 inch scale

5-string

24 frets

Passive humbucking pickups

Mahogany neck with maple stringers

Imbuya wings

Neck-through-body design

Scalloped bottom horn

They're not really what I'm looking for right now. Good luck with selling them.

Pre Ebay bump.

I'm not seeing the scalloped treble horn which makes me think this may not be a Grind, possible a C5, as per [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54538&hl=grind"]this thread?[/url]

Whatever it is, these supposedly "low-end" Peaveys are brilliant value for money- I have two of a different (cheaper) model which outplay basses costing several times as much. Excellent B strings too.

Cheers for that, it looks to be almost the same Bass that's just been renamed. I'll alter the title.
