The Rock House Blog: NAMM 2010: Peavey Expands PXD Series to Bass Guitars

ANAHEIM, Calif. (NAMM exhibit #5740, Hall B) — Peavey proudly introduces the Tragic™ 4 and Void™ 4, the first bass guitars in its award-winning PXD™ Series. The Peavey PXD Series is a new breed of extreme guitars and basses that capture the aggression and attitude of modern metal players.

The Peavey PXD Tragic and Void are 4-string, neck-through-body bass guitars built with an alder body, maple neck and ebony fretboard. A pair of Peavey VFL™ active pickups—the same proprietary electronics used on Peavey's acclaimed Cirrus™ and Millennium® AC Series basses—give players amazing tonal control through an active three-band EQ with +/- 10 dB boost and cut. Both models are available in matte black with a brushed aluminum-finish pickguard, plus gloss black, gloss white or gloss red finishes.

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).

Peavey PXD Tragic and Void bass guitars will be available in Q1 2010 from authorized Peavey retailers.
