This is the best bass bar none that I have had the pleasure to use. It is so much better then everything else I have played that I can't really express the difference. I have a 5 string schector studio deluxe that is a great bass and that I intend to keep but it does not come up to the sound and excellent looks of the peavey custom.

Alder body, maple and purple heart neck, birdseye maple fretboard, active electronics (3 way, tone and volume), natural hand rubbed finish
The lowest playable action I have ever seen. Very adjustable in all ways.
Has as wide a range of sounds and tones as I have seen on a bass without a pedal. It is dead silent and studio grade.
This is good for all settings
I looked at an ibenaz 6 and a fender 5.I choose the peavey because of it's style,the feel and sound.those active pickups make other basses sound a little weak.I will always have a peavey bass.always.If this bass can be improved i want one.

I use to play lead but now i play the 6 string peavey,so i feel right at home.I love the size and the feel of the neck.
The neck is like nothing i've ever seen.it's what they call a threw the body neck.solid.The neck is wide but it feels right for me.
I use nothing but ampeg when it comes to amps,and a boss reverb peddle just brings out more of the flavor of that peavey.crisp highs the lows are so fat,man.I love my peavey.
This bass feels like a rock to me.I've had this bass about a year and it's been adjusted one time.The bass is in good shape.

Jazz style bass... great looking piece would have preferred gold hardware other than the tuners
Smooth like butter! Good action and neck is just wide enough to make it easy to move around.
Deep warm tone. Can be loud and vrey bright if you want it to be.
I take excellent care of it. Not an issue so far
I would rather have chrome hardware, but other than that this bass is Excellent. A real Beauty. And a great buy. The price is right on these babies. I would pick one up if you got the chance.

Beauitful Redwood top w/ Gold Hardware. Neck thru design w/ soapbar style active pick-ups. This is Peavey's best bass ever.
The bass has a smooth feel and is very comfortable.
Tone. Tone. Tone. Fingerstyle players will appreciate the warm,and smooth sound produced by this bass.
This bass is too new to me to talk about Durability, but I will update this when I know.
