6 String BASS Club (Guitarists keep out!)

Yep, standard feature. Graphite reinforced neck with dual truss rod, too.

I had never really paid much attention to Peavey, but like nbw, I was searching for a 6-string that wouldn't break the bank. I actually found this one on ebay (brand new from a music shop in Connecticut) so I went to a local dealer and played a 5-string cirrus.

After being quite impressed, I got quite lucky, IMO. I won the auction for $809... it didn't meet the reserve price, but I emailed the seller to see what the reserve was. He emailed right back that it was set at $1100 and after telling him my max was $900, I asked if we could meet in the middle. Got the whole shooting match (including gold straplocks and case) for $1000 even. It even still had the plastic peel-offs on the pickups and control cavity cover!

Very nice, I didn't know Modulus offered coloured graphite! :)

IIRC they still don't.

The TBX line(less than 70/80 total, 4/5/6 string built)had that option & were hand made etc from begginning to end usally by 1 person under Geoff Goulds instruction.

The TBX line became because of an initial request from Phil Lesh(Grateful Dead)to have a n/t graphite bass. They built some for him & made a limited few more for the public.

cheers,
