I looked at a Fender Precision bass and was drawn
to the Peavey due to active pickup, small neck (i have
small fingers), and really liked the overall clean and
stylish look that says "modesty". I almost sold it once
to get a 5 string but have now decided that I will
never sell it but just add another 5 string bass later. I
am really comfortable with it and hate to give it up.
Great bass for the price I think.

It is pretty easy to play but I am not fond of the arch
on the back of the neck which seems to promote
fatigue at least on my hands. The only flaw seems to
be the output jack that doesn't seem to lock onto the
1/4" jacks very well and makes for easily lost
connections when moving around much.
I have been told by a few people that it has a fat and
deep tone which could be a result of the active
pickup. I use a Zoom 708 processor with it because l
really like the tube preset and amp cabinet effects.
The amp I use is Peavey Basic 112. I can play most
styles on it but it is really hard to get the percussive
plucking sounds out of it that makes for great funk
but it excellent for rock or jazz.
It really holds up well to most conditions. I have
stored in a car in sub freezing conditions only to take
into lessons later that day with only minor
adjustments to the tuning needed. Great bass to
start on.
