Cleaning - Metal

To clean and lubricate the major metal parts of your bass (strings, pickups, bridge, tuners), Peavey recommends that you use a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth and the specially formulated guitar string cleaner available at www.peavey.com/accessories. Don’t just wipe down

the tops of your strings. Individually clean strings by wrapping each one in a fold of cloth, running it back and forth along the string’s entire length until the cloth fails to pick up any more residue.

Failure to routinely clean and lubricate the metal parts of your instrument, including

strings, may result in rusting.

WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not use abrasives or solvents on your instrument.

Bass specifications

Peavey Electronics, a renowned name in the music industry, has built a solid reputation for producing high-quality bass guitars that appeal to a diverse range of musicians. Combining innovative technology with traditional craftsmanship, Peavey basses are designed to deliver powerful sound, remarkable playability, and durability.

One of the standout features of Peavey bass guitars is their proprietary pickup technology. Many Peavey models are equipped with high-output, passive pickups that provide a rich, detailed tone with strong mid-range presence. This allows musicians to achieve a wide variety of sounds, from warm, round lows to sharp, cutting highs. Peavey’s use of advanced electronics, like the patented "VFL" (Vinyl Foam Layer) pickups, further enhances these tonal capabilities by minimizing noise and maximizing clarity.

Construction quality is another hallmark of Peavey basses. They typically feature solid body designs made from premium woods like alder or ash, which contribute to a resonant and balanced sound. The necks are often crafted from hard maple or mahogany, providing stability and a smooth playing experience. Additionally, many models come with a rosewood or maple fingerboard that offers effortless playability and sweet tonal characteristics.

Peavey basses are also known for their attention to ergonomics. The body contours and neck profiles are designed for comfort, making it easy for players to navigate the fretboard during long sessions. This thoughtful design extends to features like lightweight hardware and streamlined controls, allowing musicians to focus on their performance without being hindered by an unwieldy instrument.

In terms of versatility, Peavey offers a broad array of models, from entry-level basses like the Peavey Millennium to professional options like the Peavey Cirrus series. Each model is crafted to suit various musical styles, whether it be rock, jazz, or funk. This emphasis on versatility ensures that players can find a Peavey bass that aligns with their unique sound and style preferences.

Finally, Peavey prides itself on making high-quality instruments accessible to musicians at various levels. Their basses are priced competitively, providing excellent value for the features and craftsmanship offered. Therefore, whether you are a novice bassist or a seasoned professional, Peavey bass guitars are designed to meet your musical needs while delivering outstanding performance and reliability on stage or in the studio.
