Manufacturer's Description for Peavey Millennium 4 AC BXP Active Electric Bass
Peavey Millennium bass guitars are well regarded as the essential working player's bass for their solid low end, playability and craftsmanship -- in fact, pros such as John Campbell (Lamb of God), Josh Sattler (doubleDRIVE) and Marco Mendoza (Ted Nugent, Whitesnake) are avid Millennium players.
Each Millennium AC BXP bass features a agathis body, Hard Rock Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard and an attractive quilted Maple cap. An active electronic system, driven by Peavey Cirrus neck and bridge active pickups, provides an extra boost in volume and tone with more expressive sound control. These 21-fret, 34 in. scale basses also feature volume, pickup blend, bass, mid and treble controls, as well as the new Peavey headstock design.

"Great bass for low price"
Sound:
Pretty good sounding. Nice and quiet when needed. Can use the control to adjust so you can have mega bass or, if you want, adjust so that you can get a more guitar like sound. Nice and solid overall, works good with rock and alternative.
Feature:
The controls they give you provide a wide array of possibilities for sound. You can fine-tune it to you particular taste pretty easily.
Quality:
Product seems to be of very good quality. I got a maroon one, just looks astounding. Feels as if it is built pretty sturdy, and a nice weight to it, not too light, not too heavy. Everything is smooth and curvy, and I love the head. I've only had it for a few months now, but the only problem I've encountered was having to replace the batteries that came in it (nearly had a heart attack, thought the thing screwed up, but was perfectly fine after replacing them). I also have an Ibanez SR300DX I got before this, paid almost as much as for this Peavey, and the Peavey easily blew it away.
Value:
Pretty low price I think for a very nice bass.
Manufacturer Support:
Haven't had to deal with the company yet, hope I won't have to. Seems like they'd be pretty easy to deal with though, easy links up on the Peavey website. You can also reach their manuals online too (I either lost mine or it didn't come with it, I'm not sure), but I was able to download the one off the internet.
The Wow Factor:
I don't know about everyone else, but I love the shape of the body. The P-bass design with the elongated, slender horns, and the head is fantastic. The maroon color is beautiful, makes me want to get another to just see how good the other colors look.
Overall:
Well, I'm already looking for other basses, but that's because I'm a collector. I want other basses in addition to this one, just to get a view of other brands, other styles, etc. I'd say, comparing this with other basses I've looked at, it might not be the best out there, but it is sure damn good for under 500 dollars. In the event that it ever got lost or were stolen, I would definately go out and get another Millenium AC 4 BXP.

"Versatility is the key."
Sound:
The sound is quite good. It doesn't sound the same as my P-Bass but it sounds great. If you are looking for something that you can customize your sound with this is an excellent option. Very versatile! It can sound similar to many of the basses I have played. It can sound old school or very new wave. You get to decide.
Feature:
The tone controls are great! Bass, mid, treble and sweep with a separate volume. Very user friendly. I have spent hours coming up with different sounds for different songs. Once you spend some time learning the sounds it is capable of with this much control then setting is easy.
Ease of Use:
Neck is great! It takes a good setup but when it's done wow it is sweet. The option to go body through with strings makes the notes sing forever and on the bridge they produce an even different sound. Intonation while not the easiest to set is easy enough.
Quality:
While not flaws the fit and finish are as good as any out there. Who would have thought something from Indonesia would have been this nice! Durability seems good but ask me in 10 years.
Value:
I have played and own basses that cost much more. This one has a niche all it's on but sounds great for the price.
Manufacturer Support:
No problems yet. Just a simple setup.
The Wow Factor:
It feels good and looks great!
Overall:
I like what it is and does. I have a 69 Mosrite that sounds no better and is very limited in style changes. It is made more durable, but just sounds a little different. I have a P and it sounds different. This one of the more versatile basses I have ever played.
