I am selling, or potentially trading, a MIA Peavey Cirrus 5-string bass. This one is the walnut body and a nicely figured bubinga top with an oil finish. It has a walnut neck w/ maple stringers and a pau ferro fretboard. It has the original VFL pickups and the stock 3-band EQ w/ fixed mids. 24 frets and 35" scale. Adjustable string spacing on the bridge, currently set at about 17-17.5mm. Weight is a reasonable 9-9.5 lbs, not too heavy at all and very nicely balanced. Comes with original Peavey hardshell case, which is in decent working condition. All electronics are noise-free and in perfect working order. Action is set low to medium-low, it could probably go lower but I like to dig in a little bit so I have it set it little higher than some Cirrus' I've played where the action is crazy low. No issues with the truss rod or any other issues that would effect adjustability or playability.
Now, for the bad news...this a not a mint bass. It had a number of scratches in the oil finish. Most of these are not visible when the bass is in the playing position. They are located on the back of the body, the back of the neck, the underside of the headstock, and the lower horn. The damage on the lower horn is the most visible, with some scratching and what look like a blue smudge on the tip of the horn. The scratch on the back of the neck is up higher on the neck and you can feel it when you run your hand up and down the neck, but I've never noticed when playing and I play that high on the neck all the time. I have tried to photograph all the damage, and I think the flash catches it well enough to be seen in the photos. The first pic did not have flash and is the best representation of the actual color and figuring of the bass. The flash is used in the other photos to show the condition more accurately. Here are the photos (Fender P/J in first pic is NOT for sale):
Some damage pics:
I love the tone of this bass, but I've come to realize that 35" scale just isn't for me. The scale length on this bass is less noticeable than some other 35" scale basses I've played, like Spectors, but it's noticeable enough for me to want to switch to either a 34" scale, or a multi-scale, like Dingwalls, which are a little more ergonomic IMO. Additionally, the output of this bass is a little strong for some of my pedals.
Sale price is $750 shipped.
For trades, I am interested in the following 5-string basses:
- Dingwall Combustion
- EBMM Stingray 5 (must be under 10.5 lbs)
- EBMM Bongo 5 (single H preferred, but open to any pickup config)
- Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman
- Fender Jazz 5 of some sort (Am Std or Am Dlx)
- Pedulla Rapture J2
Feel free to PM with any offers or questions regarding the bass. If there are any additional pics you would like to see, I will do my best to take them.
