Peavey Millennium 4 AC BXP Active Electric Bass

No longer available at zZounds
Solid construction, exceptional low end response, and looks that kill make this a versatile and highly playable 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 updated Peavey headstock design.

"Perfect 10... Aside from the "Worst Factory I've Setup Ever Seen""

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is an amazing bass. The only reason I gave it an 9 is because when mine arrived, the factory setup was so bad that the strings were pressed down on the fretboard so hard they wouldn't even produce a sound. This was the worst factory setup I've ever seen on a guitar. After adjusting the truss rod and string height, it's a perfect 10. Also the batteries were both dead when it arrived and needed to be replaced before it would play.
Sound
The electronics on this bass create a very wide range of tones. I've tried other basses and none have compared to this one with Peavey's high-end pickups and active electronics. This bass could be used for any style of music. The pickups are also silent when it's not being played which is nice.
Features
Completely adjustable sound & tone - can't go wrong.
Quality
Quality would be a 10, but I guess the extremely poor factory setup on the one I received effects my opinion on the quality a bit.
Value
I don't think you could find a better bass for the price. If you don't need the huge range of tones and better pickups that come on this bass, the cheaper Peavey Millennium 4BXP is nice for a basic bass.
