Made in USA Peavey for £150?


Recommended Posts

Really?

Is there more to this than I'm aware of?

I did not know it was possible to buy a made in USA bass from a well known manufacturer for that little. I was shocked at the £150 until I searched sold listings and found them selling for less.

I'm not going to buy one as I have a four string fretted that I really like. I had a google to see if they're available fretless. I found this:

but I don't really like that sound.

Just out of curiosity, have you reviewed your foundation? What's it like?

[size=6][sub]These are excellent guitars - I've now got three - a black one with all maple neck/board, a white one with rosewood board and a black one with rosewood board - this one is a fretless. [/sub][/size]

[size=6][sub]All are well made & lovely necks, I think they are stunners - and were not a cheap bass when they came out .[/sub][/size]

Sorry - no recordings, but with flatwound strings & through a decent amp they sound fine - they certainly don't sound like the example in the clip above in this thread - the guy manages to make a complete arse both of himself and the sound of the bass- it sounds truly awful - about the worst demo I've ever heard.

They are just a straightforward passive bass - wired like a Jazz - two volumes, one master tone.

The sound is really down to you - with a half decent amp & cabinet and a good pair of ears you'll have no difficulty getting a smooth deep sound.

A great example of how a lot of bass tone comes from the fingers...or not!
