Published on 06/27/01 at 15:00P-Bass copy from Peavey. Intended as a beginners bass. Purchased at a local guitar store for $188 in 1998.
The maple neck is narrow and slim. Very easy for a beginning bassist like me after 30 years of guitar. Tuners are rock solid. Good sustain for a laminated body. Finish is very uniform and beautiful.
The stock pickup has poor tone. It has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan Alley Kat. This has improved the sound for a minimal cost. The nut seems to be a soft and the slots are deepening after several string changes. It will need to be changed in the future.
Laminate body solid maple neck. Truss rod and 4 adjustable saddles. Fit and finish is very good no visible flaws. Pickup mounting screws are not well placed and are crooked. No springs under the pickups. Add some or replace the foam under the pickup when changing it.The neck is the strong point - Jazz bass-like.
Great playability. This is a very usable bass at a good price. Changing pickups has extended the life of it. At the time this bass was as cheap as any I could buy in the Dallas area. Since then other imported basses have dropped in price. Similar P-Bass copies can be found in the low $100s. A well built P-Bass copy with a great neck. Good for beginners.
