Peavey Fury Bass

this is a very good bass all around in my opinion this is probably the best bass ive ever played great pickups, playability the whole nine yards. this bass included a deluxe hardshell case.

this bass in my opinion has a very warm sound, and the reason i likke this tone is because i am a blues player and it delivers the full tone that i look for from bright and tight to fat and sassy, i play through a randall 100 watt head and a 4-10 cabinet with no effects at all.

whe i got the bass i found it to be set up quite to my convenience it played very well the only problem is that the saddles are a little rough and i break more strings than id like to

i thnk that this bass is gonna last a long time i have already put it to the test in some quite harsh conditions and it has held up better than i thought

this is a great bass possibly the best ive ever played so if you are thinking about purchasing a fury do it. its worth it

I'm not sure when this was made...in the good old U.S. of A. It used to have frets but I tooked them out because they made me play out of tune. Now that there are no frets I play in tune more better. The bass is electric. I got it refinished in salmon pink. Many good features.

This bass has a good sound. Very loud and good and nice. I use it with a BOSS ODB-3, BOSS MT-2, BOSS OC-2, BOSS FZ-3, BOSS CS-1, BOSS CS-2, BOSS CS-3, Tube King. I have no amp because all amps rob the good tone I get out of my Peavy setup. I use to have a Peavey guitar amp that was very loud but it's tone was no good. Then I got an Ampeg SVT and that amp made my bass sound bad to. I haven't tryed Eden yet but maybe someday. My style is a good style.

This bass was set up good. The only problem was that it was missing a tuner. When I call Peavy they told me I should have notice it before I brought the bass home with me. Then they called me a stupid uneducated bass-playing idiot. They are right. So I bought a new tuner by Hipshot that I think it much better than the ones on this Peavy Fury. There are really no major flaws with the base except its missing the frets but I made it that way so it's not there fault.

I first used Peavy when my band opened for the Pointer Sisters at the Missoula county chili-cookoff. I was the bass player in the band but I was using a guitar that I took off two strings. So I asked the Pointer Sisters bass player if I could borow his base (Alumbick or something) and he said no but he let me use this Peavy that belonged to his little sister. It was red and good. The gig was very good but I ate too much free chili and drank too much free beer and lived in the bathroom for the next eight days. After I got out I went to the store and got my very own Peavy. This is very reliable and high quality. I don't play live anymore because I don't believe in using sound reinforcement of any kind. I want people to hear the amazing acoustic tone of my Peavy. Unfortunately if there is any other sound at all, or if people are standing more than two feet away, it gets harder and harder to hear my base. I tried to have a solo concert once but the food court never invited me back. Cheap bastards.

I like Peavy. They sort of insulted me when I talked to them about the missing tuner but they didn't say anything that was untrue (except maybe a couple of things they said about my mom). I think they are a good company. Eddie Van Halen likes them.

I been playing base for a long time. Other gear I own is already listed above. I also have two picks that belonged to the bass player from Firehouse and a green Ernie Ball strap. The only thing I don't like about this bass is that I might have payed too much for it. After I bought it for over $2000 I saw these bases that have grafite necks for about the same price. Somebody also said I could buy a custom made bass for $2000. So maybe I should have asked how much it was supposed to cost before I bought it. They did give me a very nice gig bag and a book on how to play the base though. If it was stolen I would be very sad. Then I'd steal money from my parents' saving account and buy another Peavy. Or maybe one of those bases that shaped like a V because I want to start a Scorpians tribute band. peavy is good I wish I was an endorser for them. They make good bases.

I bought it in 1984, it was made in 1983. 21 frets, 1 pickup, tone and volume knobs. Cherry fretboard, Ash body (no paint; I think it was treated with tung oil) Neck has a gloss finish. Full-scale neck. Came with a plastic case that is quite ugly but amazingly protective.

This is were this Fury does it for me. This particular one has great sustain and a wonderful tight growl. There is not much flexibility with this bass. If you want a variety of sounds, get something else. Its tone hits a middle ground between a Fender P-Bass and a Rickenbacher. I have played a few Furies and their tone varies; some sound great, others sound simply bad. I got lucky. I have recorded and played live with it in small and large venues, and it has had a consistent sound throughout.

The bass was set up great from the factory, and since I bought it new and knew that it had to be broken it, I spent the money to get it tweaked each year until I learned to do it myself. The bass is solid and has good neck adjustment. The screws on the bridge (both horizontal and vertical adjustment) have gotten rust over the years and have been replaced with stainless steel bolts. The pickguard is one-piece plastic, with wood screws, and has had some warping. The ground wire from the electronics to the bridge is not soldered, so after a while, the wire sank into the wood and was not making connection with the bridge; the bass got noisy. I had to remove the bridge and rig a new ground wire, which I ran to the side of the bridge and soldered it.

This bass has been thrown by stupid, drunk people, It has been puked on, it has been left in a trunk in sub-zero weather over night, etc. etc. and it still is as good sounding, and even better playing than when I bought it. It is the only electic bass I own, and I see no need to have another at gigs. It is very easy to re-string. It has been known to hold tune longer than a Dunlop Tortex green pick keeps its shape playing it. (Dunlop Tortex are heavy picks, and I saw at the strings.)

Never had to call Peavy.

This is the third bass I have owned, I bought it after 5 years of playing and have owned it for 16 years. In the mean time, I have flirted with spending big bucks on a "real" bass, but none of them seem to really deserve it. Especially after paying only $300 for it. When I bought it, I was deciding between a Haegstrom violin-bass, a Music Man Stingray, a G&L 2000 (I think), and a Fender Tele-bass. At that point, I had decided that I was investing, and not spending money, so price was not supposed to be an issue. I got the Peavey, because the price was sooooo much better. If I had paid $800 or $1200 for it, I still would say it was a great deal.

IT was made in '94, in the U.S. It has 21 frets, unfinished maple neck, maple fretboard, nice fret job, solid top body, red finish, 1 volume and 1 tone control, 1 split style pickup, white pickguard, it is a stock pickup. Passive, the body style is a toss up between a Fender Precision and a Yamaha Attitude bass guitar. The body wood is alder, I believe. Satin finish. Candy Apple Red. Std. Fender style bridge. Solid tuners, Fender style. Neck is LONG and THIN; a very long scale feeling neck for only 21 frets. I received a soft shell case with the purchase.

I use it for recording, but have loaned to a ex bandmate for playing when his went out. I had it strobe tuned and frets filed down, and the action adj. and it plays well. He got thru the gig/practices until he got his Ibanez back. He enjoyed playing this one in the meantime. It's not noisy, a good beg/intermidiate bass. Good, average bass tones, no real variety. But not a bad thing, either. Just a decent, middle of the road bass guitar. Definetely not an antique Fender or anything, just a good ol' reliable back up or practice bass.

I had the frets filed, bridge adj. and strobe tuned 2 yrs ago, and it is still fine. I bought it used for $200 + tx. The pickups, bridge were fine; I just had the saddles adj. when the frets were filed. Before this, the action was a little off but now it's ok. NO cosmetic flaws, it's a good bass.

Yeah it will play ok live; it has because like I said, I loaned it to an ex bandmate when we played in the same outfit and got thru the show ok. He was even able to do some popping and slapping effects from the Peavey. So it's good. Everything is solid, assuming one doesn't beat the @#A$% outta it!!!! Pretty solid enough to not need a backup if one takes care of it. ( Why would one destroy an instrument as great as a guitar, bass or any stringed instrument for that matter?)

Haven't had to deal with Peavey, but according to reviews they are one of the best co.'s to deal with if something ever needs resolving. No warranty; it was a used bass.

Like it and am gonna keep it for as long as possible.
