FS Peavey Cirrus 6 string

derekcbass · #1 05-02-2011, 05:27 PM

Peavey Cirrus USA 6 string bass. I have had this bass for about 4 years and it is in great condition. The tone on this bass is incredible, very flexible.

- 35 inch scale
- Neck-thru-body
- 2 VFL(tm) active pickups
- 18 volt Active 3-band EQ
- Pau Ferro fretboard
- Claro Walnut Body Top and Headstock Cover
- Clear Polyester Finish
- Graphite reinforced neck

Only a slight nick on the back of the neck behind the nut (won't even show up on a picture).. The reason I am parting with this bass is because I need to cut down my collection and I don't find the need for a 6 string with the kind of work I do. It includes the original hardshell case, straplocks, and manual.

$900 Shipped CONUS

Is this still available?

funkadelickbass · #3 05-23-2011, 08:10 PM

weight?

derekcbass · #4 06-01-2011, 03:36 PM

Not sure on the weight. I will have to find a scale...

Picked up an awesome little four string Redwood Cirrus a while back and learned first hand where all the Cirrus lovin 'round here comes from. Really missed that low B though, so I bought a Walnut 5-er. If I didn't already have two fretted Cirrus..es ... Cirri (what's the plural of Cirrus?), or if yours were fretless, I'd be jumping on this...

The plural is Cirrus. You should get it anyway, I am loving my Cirrus 6 so much it has become my main player.

I've yet to play a 6 string bass - think I'd like it, but it's hard to imagine going from 5 to 6 being as significant as going from 4 to 5.
And a 5+ string fretless would be a much better fit for me currently. So if it were fretless, or if it was local and I could play it first, or maybe even if it wasn't walnut or redwood, I'd be more interested. That said, I haven't quite ruled out the possibility.

Same with my Cirrus 5, my trusty old Carvin 5's feeling neglected...

I'd also like to know the actual weight and string spacing. And more pictures

Interesting, my 5 is right at 17, could be adjusted out to 17.5. So it sounds like the Cirrus 6 is basically about the same spacing - certainly not tighter, as the 5? Just a little extra weight and an extra string to play with?

The spacing is not tighter than the 5 string. The 6 has a flatter fretboard radius however.

The neck also feels thinner than the 5. It may be that the thickness is the same for both but the wider neck on the 6 makes it seem thinner.

Thanks for the transaction Derek, I love the bass. I changed the strings on it and lowered the action a bit and WHOOOAA! This baby just sings.

Congrats! This your first Cirrus?

dkterry · #16 06-03-2011, 04:01 PM

No, actually my 2nd. I had a Cirrus 5 exactly like this one, loved it.

bottomzone · #17 06-03-2011, 06:32 PM

I'm not a 6-string player. But if I was, the Cirrus would be my first choice. I'm diggin' my 5! Bill Dickens is absolutely killing on this Cirrus 6!
