madshadows Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Got a chance to buy a Peavey Milestone 3 for £50, is that a fair price and are they an OK beginner bass to replace the crap Encore bass I'm borrowing at the moment?

allighatt0r Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I learn on a Milestone three. That's an OK price for one, they are plywood bodies and pickups are pretty rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) I had one as my only bass for many years — nothing spectacular but solid. I also taught myself how to set basses up using it and found it very amenable to quite a low action, especially compared to what you often see on cheaper instruments. <------ edit: in fact that's me gigging mine Edited October 29, 2013 by velvetkevorkian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaby Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 For 50 squids you would be hard pushed to better it, as previously stated a solid bass with a lovely slim neck and quite versatile sound wise, Peavey's take on a jazz type bass.

3below Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 According to website (and what I see with mine) body is alder. Lash out, spend another 30 ~ 40 quid on some pickups. You will then have a lightweight, no neck dive, slim fast neck bass. Mine came free in a hiscox case [size=4] [/size][size=4].[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
