« Peavey Milestone III »

I bought this guitar from regentguitars.com after looking on the Peavey website after hearing Peavey had set up a new manufactoring plant in the far east. I wanted a starter bass and package for a fair price. With a gig bag, lead, set of plectrum, and microbass 20 watt amp it came to £216 ($300) it was good delivery. I heard Peavey made great Amps so I wanted to find out the quality of their basses.( I had little money in hand ).

I was happy with the whole package. The neck is excellent as are the Jazz pickups it sounds great and is a good starter bass. It is easy to play and looks good. (mettalic blue best colour) It was made in Vietnam.( definately a good point) I am just trying to add words now.

The machine heads are not the best. And the scratch board comes loose easily. Quite lame bad points if you ask me. For experienced bass players the guitar might feel a bit simple.

It is maple and rosewood and is good it has a bolt on neck and 2 good pickups. It is well shaped and comfortable to play.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a first bass for an affordable price. I would also recommend the microbass amp as a great sounding and surprisingly loud practise amp.
