Feature:
you can really make this bass sound like a guitar. The pickups arent to bad, but there really wasnt anything for the lows. Its a "bass" and thats what it lacked, "bass".
Quality:
The product is steardy, the knobs for tone, volume, and the others could come off alittle to easily if you turned it hard or sumthin. The bass stays in tune though. And its a nice looking bass =]
Value:
Making a bass sound like a guitar is cool. But making a bass sound like a bass is whats important.
Desirability:
at first i wanted it but then after palying it i 100% dont.
Sound:
I read all the revies on this bass and i went to play it at guitar center, well lets just say it had similar sound qualities of one of those squire beginner pack basses that comes with an amp and all that shyt. My $200 Ibanez really whoops on this bass when it comes to sound and my ibanez is just a Decent bass. I spent forever trying to get the peavey lows sound full even on an ampeg 2x15 and a $800 ampeg head and it just wasnt happening. The mids both lo and hi were actually not to bad. You can make this bass sound close to a guitar, but the lows just are so weak. Maybe it was the strings but i doubt it. Not a good bass for SLAP and POP
Ease of Use:
you can modify the sound pretty easily. The neck was smooth and easy on your fingers.

Feature:
For the price, the features are right. Why charge for a case you may not want?
Quality:
This bass looks great, BUT they never ground down the ends of the frets. Playing it is like running your hand down a cheese grater. Once, I set it on the stand and the neck ran through my hand and actually drew blood. Today the blend and volume pots came loose from their moorings in the body. No positive stops at the top and bottom of either pot. Hate to say it, but it's gotta go back in for some serious service on what should have been caught in quality control before it left the factory or here in the US before sending it on to a dealer.
Value:
Way too many quality issues. I was really hoping this bass was going to deliver more value as Peavey stuff has always delivered good value for your money. Maybe after it's reworked it will be a better value.
Desirability:
From the little playing time we've had together I would rate this bass highly. It looks fantastic for a budget bass.
Sound:
This bass is really incredibly flexible in the sounds it can reproduce. I have to give it high marks on this.
Ease of Use:
It's pretty easy to set it up for the sound you want. It stays in tune and has a decent action. I bit of buzz on fret 1, but I'm sure a small bridge adjustment will take care of that.
Support:
As soon as I get a box to ship it in, it's going to Missippi for service.
Overall:
I thought I might be able to save a few bucks and get one of these instead of a Fender. Bad call on my part. Peavey service may turn this one around and I may love it when it comes back, but by then I'll have several weeks with another bass and this one might not make it back out of the case. If I knew the potential for such major quality issues, I would have passed on this bass.
