Peavey GV Bass Holoflake with OHSC (5 string graphite-neck bass) - SOLD. £800 Edinburgh

[funkle]

Afternoon all

You may have seen my other bass up for sale as well.....this one has to go for the same reason. My dream 4 string bass came in and I need to pay for it now....lol. Plus I'm now pretty much playing 4 stringers exclusively.

This is a great bass, very rare on this side of the pond. I've been using it as my main 5 stringer for about 2 years. I think it's one of the most lightweight, easiest to play and best sounding 5ers out there. I love graphite necks. Punchy sounding and clear instrument. 

It's in good condition, though I have photographed a number of dings and swirls around the output jack area, the bottom of the bass, and one near the controls, for everyone's attention. I didn't put these on there, lol. However the benefit of this particular finish is that such things do not tend to show up unless you look for them. Another benefit is that it looks great on stage. 

I have upgraded it with the most lightweight Gotoh GB707 tuners, which are lovely to use. Comes in the original hardcase, which is in excellent condition.  It's an excellent bass, and a good deal at this price...think of it as a poor man's Gould or Modulus. (For context, I have owned a Modulus previously and this stacks up).

Specs:

• 35" Scale
• 17.5mm String Spacing (adjustable)
• 8.6 lbs (!!!)
• Basswood Body
• Graphite Neck/Pau Ferro Fingerboard
• 3 Band Cirrus Preamp, 18V
• 2 VFL Humbucking pickups 

Price: £800 + shipping. I will ship anywhere.

I had a GV in Red sparkle, and a G Bass in Holoflake...awesome awesome basses.

I had the 4 string version of this bass back in the day as well @AndyTravis. I loved it and it got me that 'Flea' sound that I wanted, when he was playing the Modulus. I sold it years ago, foolishly....

exact reason I bought one...got to the big boss eventually. The peaveys do feel similar though - and definitely top build quality too.

Smoking bass!! Wow.
