I've read something about them chewing up batteries apparently due to some dodgy component in the earlier models.
This one's a 1998 model and the previous owner said it was not too bad on batteries. -
I picked it up this evening and have not stopped grinning since plugging it in.
Whacking it through a Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110 - gets every sound I could ever want.
For me this is Bass heaven ! -
Thanks guys, my fingers are twitching more than ever now !
-
Everything I read about these on here seemed to be positive... will see how I get on. Thanks !

Bit late now, but I hope you lot approve.... picking it up later ! -
I have had fun & games with the Church PA with this bass and put a thread up about it here : -

On reflection, however, as a novice I would rather get rid & have a nice new one.
I bought it from local free-ads and was taken by it's good cosmetic order. It sounds good to my untrained ear & holds its tune.
I would like £60 for this collected ?
Live just north of Bristol.
Thanks !

I think shielding is a must-try fix. I'll try to get some of that paint.. Thanks everyone !
-
Thanks !
I was wondering whether to place my guitar in the hands of one of the recommended local specialists for new pickups - but probably can buy a new Ibanez for what that'd cost.. don't trust myself to solder it all up correctly. -
Thanks David. The blurb about the guitar says that if both pickups are employed equally there is a "humbucking" effect, but that has not stopped me picking up the guitars & voices. I'll check out where the loop is.
-
It has - I will try without the loop turned on. Would shielding stop this ?
Thanks again -
Thank you - I saw some useful guidance on that in the stickies.. shielding with copper foil or conductive paint..
Or am I trying to polish a turd & should get a new guitar ?! -
Cheers Lozz - thought someone might say that !!
The P-bass is very nice, but mine has a slimmer neck which I find easier to play at the moment.
I have put up a post on the technical forum.
Hope to be able to contribute more to the forum once I am more established. -
I am new & not all that clued up. Would love some help with something which is bugging me about my lovely bass...
I have read as much of the forum posts as I can but would be really grateful, please if someone could kindly let me know what I need to do...I don't expect I will be using all the right terminology.
I have had this bass for about a year - bought used and it's my first - but I really like the feel of it and the sound too. Cosmetically it is in great condition - holds tune well etc.
The problem I am having with my Peavey is when I'm playing in a group at my church, where I plug into the amplifier & bass cab which is in situ there.
When there are other amplified instruments or voices mic'd up within 10 feet of me, my guitar picks them all up & puts their sounds through the bass amp & speaker.
All of these other instruments & mic's are on wireless.
The other bass I have access to (a Fender P-bass which again resides at church) does not do this.
I have to turn two of the three pots down to stop this effect, which makes the sound very bland.
I have taken the scratch plate on the front off & looked for loose wires, there's nothing obvious, and I noted that there was only a small amount of foil stuck around where the pots mount the scratch plate.
Has anyone got any simple fixes for this ? Is it simply better shielding which is required ? Or am I in the realms of new pickups ?
Many thanks. -
Hi, I'm James, live near Bristol
I've not been playing bass long..
I picked up a bass guitar one evening at my church music group practice - it's a Fender P-bass - it was out on a stand and the music was crying out for a bass - I knew what keys the strings were, worked out the bass line in my head & bashed it out fairly OK.
Since then I bought a used but beautiful sunburst Peavey Milestone III 4-string bass, on trade-it from a local lad, just to see how I liked it.
I practice the songs ready for a sunday morning & really enjoy playing the bass. My other instrument is the blues harmonica which I have been playing for 20 years & have played in blues bands & at church.
I will looking out for a half-decent practice amp to replace my ancient eastern european 10w bass amp which I bought yonks ago for keyboard.
I love the bass - it's got to be the best instrument in the whole band. I was given Bass Guitar for Dummies but haven't really found the time to get into it yet as I have a young family.
One issue I have with the Peavey is that when there are other instruments mic'd up, my guitar picks them all up & puts their sounds through the bass amp The Fender does not do this. I wonder if a wire is loose inside ? I have to turn two of the three pots down to stop this which makes the sound very bland. Has anyone got any simple fixes for this ?
Otherwise I am looking forward to absorbing a fraction of the collective wisdom of this impressive forum !
Keep up the good work
