Looks like it's a buyer's market if you're looking for a Cirrus - here's what I found: bubinga cirrus 6. I think this guy's reserve is $1199. This is the fourth time he's listed it - if you email him he'll tell you what the reserve is - at least he told me two auctions ago bubinga cirrus 4. "Buy it now" is $950 so his reserve is probably lower than that. walnut / wenge cirrus 4. No pix but the guy says he'll take returns. No reserve, high bid is currently $500. walnut / wenge cirrus 5. Nice bass, reserve met, high bid is $810 right now. blue 2001 cirrus 5. "Buy it now" is $1199. red cirrus 5. Currently $750, reserve not met. New to eBay? I strongly suggest using an escrow service like tradenable to insure you get what you pay for - at 4% of the purchase price it's a good way to insure things go smoothly. Happy bidding! allan
Check out the red Cirrus. The write-up says "perfect" and "mint" but there are at least two gouges on the back and wear around the knobs.
<b>rickreyn said...</b> Check out the red Cirrus. The write-up says "perfect" and "mint" but there are at least two gouges on the back and wear around the knobs. <hr> Yeah, saw that. I'm not too sure about the knob wear, though - I see the same kind of distortion around the neck pickup. Maybe, maybe not. The gouges on the back are definitely not "mint condition", though cheers, allan
Are you sure those are imperfections or merely lighting artifacts? Looks like lighting to me... there's a symmetry to the two "gouges", probably two long flourescent lights.
A simple e-mail to the seller would clear this up. I vote for gouge, but as always, I could be wrong.
Yep - a simple email would clear it up. Maybe y'all are right - it'd be a little silly to claim something was mint after someone ran a rototiller over it. Oh, well - caveat emptor. allan
I like the blue one. The reserve is probably higher that I would want to pay and I already own a Cirrus. Still, that blue just does something for me.
Gouges or not, something is refracting light there. Imperfections in the urethane, possibly ??? I was just handling one was last night with an oil finish. They aren't very big sticks but the body is verrrry nice!
Allan_G, thank you for extolling the greatness of tradenable.com! I've used that service a number of times, and I find the peace of mind well worth the fee. Besides, since it benefits both buyer and seller, I split it in my auctions. Some people have very strong negative reactions to it, though. I wonder why... I kinda wish it wasn't so much a buyer's market - I may sell my walnut/wenge fretless 6 in the not-too-distant future. It's a GREAT bass, but i want to trade up to the ultimate fretless - an NS Design CR4M electric upright bass! To all who may be interested in a Cirrus - I firmly believe that they represent some of the best value on the bass market today. I would highly recommend them to virtually anyone. They do frighten Fender snobs, though....
I own a Fender Jazz and the Cirrus didn't frighten me one bit! I'm not a snob though and I now own a Cirrus.
I have mine up for sale, I NEED another Zon, so the Peavey has to go, check in the For Sale section!! Reserve is $750, its a sweet bass, it is in very good shape, but not mint!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1481706815
man, that one looks sweet. if i didn't have to pay as much as i would pay for the bass itself in shipping, i'd buy it. When it comes to bass-buying, i really hate living in Sweden. A new cirrus lists for around 2500 dollars. *sob*
