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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

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.

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.

Feature:
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.

Desirability:
This is my only bass and probably will be as long as it's functional... it does everything I need it to.

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.

Support:
Haven't needed it yet.

Overall:
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.

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.

Quality:
The finish is awesome. And if you're not bouncing it off someone's head or using it to chop lines, I'd say it'll last quite a while.

Value:
I think it was a great value for a back up bass.

Desirability:
That's the beauty of the Bass. It's practical, very playable, affordable and the finish is very hot. I have 7 basses, some worth a lot (3 @$1700.00+) and the playability of my Peavey rivals 2 of those high end "boutique" basses. It's very comfortable and player friendly. I have played an entire gig with it and when you're used to a Music Man or a Tobias it's a nice feeling not to have a coffee table on a guitar strap.

Sound:
I PLAY IT THRU A Peavey 700 watt fire series head and 4x10 and 1x15 for cabinets

Ease of Use:
I have no problem with this bass. I can make it thump or shred all day. And it's as clear as a bell.

Overall:
The guitar serves its purpose well. Would I buy another Peavey bass? Yes, now that I know the quality of the brand. If the $300.00 bass is this much of a value, I would consider the high end basses as well.

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.
