    After owning pretty much every cab size imaginable over the years and wanting some small, portable gear; a few years back I grabbed the BAM after acquiring a set of BC208 cabs. It was clean, transparent and efficient enough but I couldn't get air I was used to pushing 4x10"s, 1x18"s and 2x12"s...

    Warwick Thumb versus Peavey Cirrus

    I'd definitely go for the Cirrus, personally. I found my Warwick Dirty Blonde Thumb bass to be very thin sounding and rather limited in it's range. It probably needed a preamp upgrade to get the best out of it. I've owned 5 U.S. Peavey Cirrus basses and I live by them. I owned a 95' Fortress...

    How much sustain am I missing?

    In a my experience, flat wounds kill the majority of sustain. I play Peavey Cirrus basses which offer A LOT of sustain. The fretted has S.S. roundwounds and the fretless has flats. The difference in sustain is massive and obviously the tone is quite different as well. Do you have additional...

    Suitable Bass Preamp pedal for Peavey Cirrus?!

    I have experience with one preamp pedal with my Cirrus basses. It's received a lot of mixed reviews of love/hate in general and has generally been tossed aside by a lot of the bass community, especially the gear "heads" here in TB. I utilize the Walrus Audio Badwater Bass Preamp on both my six...

    What Bass Made You Stop Looking for Others?

    Light string gauge for 6 string

    I've used Dean Markley SR2000 light guages the most on my six string basses, 30-125. I've kind of been hooked on them for 25 years but I'm interested in other options as well. I prefer stainless steel, light guage, taperwound strings and it seems like that's one of the hardest combinations to...

    The Official U.S. Peavey Cirrus Club

    Nice looking bubinga! I like the Dean Markley SR2000'S and Ken Smith strings, both taperwound and sound great with the Cirrus. I've always preferred stainless steel, taperwound strings in light guages. They just have a clean clarity and punch I can't get out of heavier guages and typically last...

    Quick visit to an out of town G.C.

    I'm telling you, those cheap BXP Peavey's can really dish out some great tone and playability! They generally have electronic issues at some point or another but I always thought it would be fun to get a couple of these to upgrade. I want to pick up a Millennium and Cirrus BXP just for that...

    I thought I'd display the photos from his post. This one looks better than the majority of photos I've seen of the new Czech builds. The websites selling them really need to take better photos of them! Photos by Affen Eitrheim
