Peavey Acoustic Drums

this was my first bass that i purchased when i started to learn how to play, i payed £200 when i walked upto the basses hanging on the wall i was drawn to it straight away, its a transparent cherry red which allows you to see the grain of wood on the bass, with matt silver hardware, rosewood fretboard, firstly the bass is well balanced, low action very comfy neck and has a matching headstock, the tonal range isnt great, its either punchy or smooth and jazzy, thats it, but i shouldnt realy complain about that considering it was only £200 very solid bass, bridge is very sturdy, stays in tune well, ive had it for about 5 years now and there is barely a scratch on it because the finish is so tough, i had a fender us jazz and currently have a musicman sterling but in all honesty the peavey is the most comfortable to play it has such a great neck i'd recommend this bass to anyone starting out or looking for a budget bass to play, i have no intention of parting with it as i still enjoy playing it, my guitarist plays a fender us telecaster and thought the peavey cost me in the region of 4-500 quid because it has such a quality sound This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this unit at Moncton Music Stop in Moncton New Brunswick for around $700 (Canadian) after taxes I like that it's a full kit at an affordable price, its the perfect purchase if you are a beginner with a shallow wallet. What I don't like is that the ride and crash are put together into one unit and will need to be replaced after you get the hang of playing it with a seperate crash and ride. It is fairly good for the price. You are getting what you paid for consider how much you paid for it. It seems to be build fairly solid I think it should last for a while. It is perfect for beginners that don't have alot of money or don't want to spend alot of money on their first kit. Because of the quality you can play long enough to learn the basics but you will probably want to buy some nicer parts over time. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
