Peavey Spectrum Bass (SOS May 93)

muzines.co.uk

The Peavey Spectrum Bass is a niche marvel that excels at delivering a wide spectrum of bass sounds—from traditional plucked to deep synth bass. With 200 presets, it offers versatility for both studio and live settings, despite the lack of on-board effects and user-defined sound saving. Its utilitarian design might seem basic, but this simplicity aids focused performance. While the absence of a display makes preset navigation cumbersome, the sound quality is impressive. Ideal for bass enthusiasts, especially those using Peavey's MIDIbase, it's a worthwhile investment for dedicated bass sound needs.

"The M1R gets used for its Bottle Bell patch, but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed by Studio Electronics' MIDIMini analogue synth, as the tuning drifts quite badly. However, I also have their SE1 analogue synth which is great for bass. Surprisingly, the little Peavey Spectrum Bass also has some great bass sounds that I use — patches three and four. My Vintage Keys is only used occasionally, mainly for the Wurlitzer piano, while the Korg X3 is left set to patch 10, a kind of Rhodes sound. The JV1080 also has a lovely electric piano sound on it, but I'm a bit disappointed with the Technics WSA1R as it doesn't have many really usable sounds. I've just bough a Yamaha CS2X for a bit of fun, for sequencing and so on, and the Trinity I still like."
