Beautiful bass. Enjoy her.
Man, if I wanted 35" scale I'd be all over the Cirrus, that's for sure.

I like the rubber knobs. I just have to lightly hit them with a finger to change a setting. Metal or wood knobs slip, especially if I'm sweating. And no one is going to notice the knobs but you.
I do like the way its easy to just "flick" the knobs to change them. I'll probably just stick with them, but I wonder what these would look like ;D http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=425602
I've thought about replacing the knobs, but I kinda like the rubber knobs because of the line on top. It's much easier to figure out where I have stuff set.
I never look at my knobs. I just find out where it is relative to the 50% notch.
I've been looking into cirrus basses, but the only problem is that I haven't been able to find one to play. I am EXTREMEMLY attracted to the look of the body and all the customizable options. Does anyone have some recordings with it or some audio clips of ay sort?
Yep, thats giving me GAS! Second time I have gassed for a Cirrus today!
The carbon fibre weave veneer is a nice touch. If only they would do a graphite neck for it!

Hey there my friend, For a guy who is supposedly "well respected" AND works at a music store, he sounds uninformed, and like a badge buyer. You know, those ******** who drive a piece of crap Mercedes because of the symbol on the hood and the trunk ! Give me a Japanese car ANY day! My point is this : A Cirrus is THE bass to own. I have had dozens of basses over the past 25 years. NONE play AND SOUND like the CIRRUS. It is WAY better than an Alembic Epic (overrated bass !), etc. For LESS money than other basses, you get QUALITY ! The bass player/ employee of Zone Music plays a Cirrus. His buddies play a Cirrus. Kent's son next door at Backstage Guitar/Amp Repair plays a Cirrus. I play a Cirrus. PEAVEY IS NOT A BAD WORD !! Trust YOUR hands and ears, and NOT the "badge buyers". You won't regret it !!!
Mike Hill ( I think ) has some great vids on YouTube, I think he does it under either MikeBass or MikeyBass.....
and I believe his main bass is his Cirrus.

Turn down the volume. Your point gets across just as easily with the standard font, and you look like a lot less of a jackass.
OK, the Cirrus is the best bass ever made, in my opinion. I've owned Alembics, and other basses. The Cirrus is BEST for funk, slap, and rock. Try This ...Invalid Link Removed
I bought these From THG Knobs. Roger is a good guy and his work is second to none. You wont find better quality anywhere. thgknobs.com
