Peavey Grind Bass 5 BXP NTB 5-String Electric Bass

Feature:
for a 5-string and its price, its definety a one of a kind. ull never find a bass better than this for that price range. its sexy, i really loved the curves. the wood finsh, suberb! i bought this in a instrument store back in the philipines. it was on sale. i purchased it for a LOW LOW price! but i cant find the serial number, i beliv grind basses' serial numbers are placed in stickers. wished peavey just carved it. it was on sale because it was an old stock. it was rusty and very dusty. but for the price, it was a great catch. i just cleaned it at home and played wtih this baby.. i often use the lower 4srtings, and just use the b-string as a support for my thumb. i only use the b-string when i am at a high scale and use it for an open B note with its "BOOOOOOM" thump low sound.

Quality:
well the quality honestly is substandard, the finish isnt that clean.(remember i bought this full of dirt) but that my style, a lil filthy haha but not too filthy.. but for the price, who cares man. ill still buy this. i recomend this product if ur on a tyt budget. this one is a keeper

Value:
i bought this for a cheap price but i purchesed this product 3x times its worth. realy good product even if it is cheap.

Desirability:
the best! i use this for recording to fill in my guitar. it really bends with my music.. again it has this warm tone because of it passive pickups. one of the best bargain i ever had

Sound:
wish it was active. it lacks punch even if you tweak ur amp. the pickups doesnt give a lot of output.. but this baby sounds like an upright. it has this distinct warm tone good for light jazzy fusion genre. or maybe my pickups were conected with the opposite polarity, ill check it out, or ill just upgrade both of its pickups and put a preamp for more boost.

Ease of Use:
the neck is realy fast, REALY FAST! i can do the things i do in a guitar with this bass. you can sweep you can do chords. the neck is thin, ideal for my small hands. im actulay a guitarist and i just this for fun. but this bass is no frills.. the body is very sleek, at the same time ergonomic(hope i got that right). it is very light and doesnt strain any part of ur body. you can play this even at very dark places because the bass really becomes a part of you. you can feel what you are playing even without looking whether you are at a the right fret or at thr right string. very easy to play, makes ur creative juisces flow with this instrument

Support:
havent tried it yet

Overall:
this is tottaly the best bass ever! ill keep it and never sell this nor trade this with anything. try it, buy it. if you dont believe me, try listening to "up dharma down" a filipino experimental-fusion band. their bassist is using a peavey 5string grind. the bassist uses the grind bass,just the bass and the amp, he rarely uses effects because the guitarist uses alot of effects allredy. he adds a litle dirt with thier melodic and jazzy music.

Feature:
The natural finish on the wood is breathtaking; it looks like a beautiful piece of furniture. Everyone from teenagers to "old" folk, to people who don't even play an instrument are wowed by this guitar.

Quality:
I have had no problems whatsoever.

Value:
I shopped a very long time; this is the best. I was prepraed to pay much more. As a matter of fact, I've had 2 of the larger music stores in town offer to buy it from me! (no way)

Desirability:
It is gorgeous! As I said, everyone that sees this guitar is blown away. It's look is very striking and unique for a bass. I can take it to a formal concert and not feel out of place; in churches it's great; it will "fit-in" anywhere

Sound:
The sound of this bass is warm. The low register is smooth thunder. The upper register is full and luscious. I have run it through a soundboard as well as a large bass amp; either way, it kicks

Support:
n/a

Overall:
I have played all types of msuic with this guitar; hymns and praise music; jazz and rock, even in orchestras and it is the most versitile bass out there. You couldn't give me any other bass!
