Paul S Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) 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.

oldslapper Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I would have had this if it was actually called a Pervey Millstone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
