Peavey Cirrus CLARO WALNUT

[mb94952]

I will most likely regret this...

I am a Peavey Cirrus super freak. I own more than a few USA's now, and in my opinion, they are the best kept "secret" out there with a huge cult following. Yes, I know, it's an oxymoron.

I just couldn't resist buying this CIRRUS very recently from a fellow TB'er. I've always wanted a Claro Walnut. I find that the sound of this bass is near perfect. It is boomy, but articulate. A lot of growl. It makes my walnut/wendge sound thin, but I love the neck of my w/w. I love my Michael Dolan custom CIRRUS. My walnut/bubinga gets me so many compliments... As you can see, I am confused !! Well, kind of.

This bass is a rare beast. It still has the new sticker on the back. The previous owner played it a few times, and under the bed it went. In doing so, the wood was neglected a little, leaving it dry. I have spend A LOT of time reconditioning the wood, carefully. I have brought it back to it's new showroom condition. I also did a full setup on it ; truss rod, string spacing, intonation, height, new DR Blackbeauties 40-100. The action is SO LOW and there is ZERO fretnoise. The hardshell case is included.

Walnut body, claro walnut top Alembic style with a thick piece of walnut split in half so the left and right sides mirror each other, with matching headstock, and Peavey block letters on the headstock. This is a 2005 model, and I believe 2006 was the last year of the block lettering.

$850 shipped to lower 48 USA only, please. I reserve the right to change my mind, so act quickly before I can do so !

Interested in a trade for a MM Sterling?

If this were a 5-string I'd be on it like Stink on ****- Best of luck to you man, beautiful instrument

[ShenmueTacos]

..and another bass I want but don't have the money!

Free bump -- I have a 5-string version of this, and it's great.

[spade2you]

Man, if this were a 6 string, I'd be on this like a pack of wild dogs on a 3 legged cat.

I was glad when you saved the rest of us by buying the bass. But, now you have made it even more tempting. Major GAS attack!

bump for one helluva guy and model citizen

[WarriorJoe7]

trades?

[mb94952]

I am not looking for trades - ONLY Genstormbringer's Maple/maple cirrus that I regretfully sold him over a year ago (if ANYBODY owns it I'm SO GLAD it's Lanis !) , or an Ampeg SVT CL.

Otherwise, I bought the bass on impulse from a helluva TB'er (awesome dude !!!!!) and I always wanted a claro walnut, but I am just in love with my '99 Cirrus's too much. In other words, this Cirrus would sit in the case, and that's just not right !

I would also trade it for an Alembic, but no Alembic guy would ever trade for a Cirrus - Even though Dr. Cheese said that a Cirrus plays better than any Alembic he's owned (sorry for putting you on Front Street, Doc !)

man I hear you on this! I sold my 99 Cirrus 6 string a few months back and it hurts a little. My 2002 5 string just isn't the same.. even though it doesn't have that unnecessary C string. There was something in the water in 99 around the Cirrus factory...

---- TRADED ----------

with FDEEPTONE ; a new TB'er who will own his FIRST USA CIRRUS 4 !

He has owned Alembics all of his career and has never tried a CIRRUS - He's gonna LOVE it !

I traded for the hotrodded 1983 G&L with Alembic pups - I asked his permission to take out the pups/preamp for my '99 CIRRUS to become Alembicised. I have his permission.

Mark aka FDEEPTONE is one COOL CAT ! He goes 110% for you. Please make him feel welcome here at TB.

He wonders if TB and bass/amp selling and trading is addivtive here -- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! .... yes it is !

This.

[fdeeptone]

hey mike i cant wait to see your cirrus with those pups in it. Kinda strange my 1982 Alembic pickups dont have the Alembic name on the front as the ones on the G&L do.
I always liked that about tose pups. So... you better post a pic when your done;p

I can't wait to put the Alembic pups/preamp into my '99 Cirrus ! Yes, I love the Alembic "badge" on the pups - YOUR Alembic 1982 may not say it on the pups, but it says it on the headstock and in the sound, fosho !

A CIRRUS in the hands (your hands) of an Alembic owner just makes sense to me, and GENSTORMBRINGER - He owns a Triple omega Alembic and TWO Cirrus USA's !

Funny how we were both looking for a new amp and we both ended up getting another bass ... SO TYPICAL of us crazy TB'ers ! .... just ask anyone ! Dr. Cheese ?
