Peavey aims for the metal market with two new basses

Move over Dean, Peavey has taken square aim at metal bass players with two new basses in its PXD™ Series, the Tragic™ 4 and Void™ 4, which will be available in the first quarter of 2010.

The PXD Tragic and Void are 4-string, neck-through construction with an alder body, maple neck and ebony fingerboard. A pair of Peavey VFL™ active pickups -- the same used on Peavey's acclaimed Cirrus™ and Millennium® AC Series basses -- are controlled by active three-band EQ with +/- 10 dB boost and cut.

The PXD endorser roster includes metal's hottest young musicians, including Chad Kulengosky and Timoteo Rosales (I Am Ghost); Kirk Windstein (Down, Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow); Matt Brunson (Crowbar); Dan Hatfield (The Crimson Armada); John Hehman III (Year of Desolation); Jon Pauly (Corpus Christi A.D.); Andy Vangelisto and Jonathan Matthews (Planes Crash); Monster (Jugulur); Casey Ash and Patrick Hearn (Less Than A Second); and Pete Evick (Bret Michaels Band).
