Excellent bass. Mine is the same but doesn't have the carbon fiber headstock. Still my "go to" bass and can't even imagine selling it. Seems like every time I meet someone who used to have one they always say, "I wish I still had it". I'm sure some lucky buyer will end up feeling the same way.

All over the map on this one. Started in 1969. Almost every new bass became my favorite and main bass for gigs. The last one was a Gibson Victory Artist 1982. Then I bought a P-bass, for sound and looks, to play at gigs when I joined a Motown review band. In the late 90's Peavey started selling...

Reduced price: I have my eye on a bass in a local store and hope to be able to purchase it before it's gone. I hate to give it up but I'm only playing 5-strings these days and need cash for a fretless to add to the stable. This bass is ready to rock or be added to your vintage collection - or...

Horror story: There's lots of good advice here. The main thing is to realize the danger and start trying some of the suggestions so you can find the one that works for you. After 35 of years playing I've just retired from the stage and the only reason is because I couldn't hear what I was...

Believe it or not I think the Peavey Cirrus is a good recommendation. I have one too and it not only plays like glass but it has a very wide tone range. Another suggestion is the Fender Roscoe Beck signature bass if you can find a used 5 string. It has a plethora of switches that give a wide...
