Pervey Millstone III - SOLD!!

[Paul S]

My first bass - a Peavey Milestone III. I bought this about 7 or 8 years ago, played it every night for a fortnight then ignored it after buying a 'better' bass to keep my interest and relegated it to the loft. I brought it down again last year and discovered that, actually, it isn't too bad after all. I considered defretting it, decided my cackhandedness would destroy it and therefore still have it here, surplus to requirements.

Obvious stuff - 4 string passive bass with individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control. Lightweight wood, no idea what, with a rosewood fingerboard. I've probably played it for less than 50 hrs, it's been out the house 4 times, never gigged. Bodywork is still in pretty good nick - a few little dings and scratches, mainly from using a pick. The bridge pickup volume knob is a bit wobbly but works ok. Fingerboard could do with a clean, strings are ancient but still ok, other than that no major issues that I am aware of.

It would come with a secondhand padded Stagg gig bag that has some spare strings in one of the pockets.

£60 - I would prefer collection or meeting halfway for petrol money to hand over, rather than posting. Edit - that would be from Benfleet, near Southend, in Essex.

I would have had this if it was actually called a Pervey Millstone....

Quite an entertaining spelling mistake in the thread title there!

No misteak, I ment to

I forget who, but someone on another thread a while back referred to Peavey as Pervey. Thought I'd nick the idea.

My goodness, there are so many nice basses for sale on here why on earth would anyone want to buy mine?
