OMG!!! Peavey Cirrus!

If you go used you may be able to pic one up in great condition for a little more than half of that. Somewhere in the $700 range or so. Watch Ebay. Their pretty common there. I agree there great basses. Now if only I can find an affordable 6-string .Here's one Here's another Here's the last one

 

Give in and buy one. I didn't when I was looking and I regret it now...

 

Heehee... I know the feeling. First time I picked one up, my eyes practically turned to hypnotized cartoon spirals and my voice dropped to a monotone: Must... have... this... bass.

$1119 is not a bad deal at all for a new one. I paid a little more than that for my Cirrus four.

Welcome to the club... in advance!

 

here's one that was at winter NAMM - yummy!

 

$1119 is a good price for a new Cirrus 4. But if you go used, you can save a lot of $$$.

I had the same experience when I played my first Cirrus. I have owned a few Peaveys, and had a generally higher opinion of their basses than a lot of other people, but after buying a Pedulla I thought that I would never look at another Peavey.

Well, one day when I was in a local dealer that had 5 Cirri in stock, I decided that I would see what all of the fuss was about.

Man! I fell in love. It was another year before I bought one, but I knew that one was in my future. When I finally broke down and bought my tigereye 6, the Pedulla's days were numbered. The Cirrus was so much easier to play, and sounded so much better, that I quit playing the Pedulla. Wound up selling it about 6 months later.

 

What year? 2003?

My tigereye 6 was at the 2002 winter NAMM.

 

That tiger eye pic is from January 2003.

 

There was one for sale for $699 here in Classifieds.
Check it out. Good luck.

 

If the cirrus had wider spacing on a 5 or 6, I would strictly be a cirrus player, and my bass searching would be much easier. Other than the spacing (which is a personal preference) they are one of the best feeling basses out there.

And to think, they also made the T-40. Giant steps....

 

I'm loving my cirrus 5-string. great basses. I agree with buying one used I think that is the best way to go. I was able to get mine for $750.

 

Buy the Cirrus you won't regret it. Save yourself some money buy it used.

 

the peavey is an awesome deal. i was originally going to purchase a four string bass, and my main music store had a used cirrus 5er for $999. i gave it a shot, and could not believe how easy it was to play, the neck was so thin and smooth and i just loved the sound. i went from a $500 soundgear 405 to the cirrus and i cannot imagine playing something less than this now. I looked into warwicks, i think mainly because most bands i listen to have warwick basses, but i would only have been able to afford an entry level one. the cirrus was in immaculate condition, the owner only traded it b/c he was moving up to a custom conklin. go for the cirrus. Also for you cirrus owners, what kind of wood is mine, i am not quite sure. i have enclosed a pic. The pic is someone else's cirrus, i cannot find my digital camera, but its the same as mine.
thanks-

That, my friend, looks like a bubinga top with walnut body.

 

Mine fabulous Cirrus LIVE in Belgium! i'm still in love since my purchase (2001)

 

thanks schwinn, i thought it was bubinga, but i thought bubinga had wavier lines than that. anyways, the guy that owned mine replaced the tuner knobs with these, i love the way they look!

 

and here is a pic of the whole thing

 

What happened to the "sound library" idea? Man. You all give me that GAS but I have no idea about the sounds only the subjective thoughts...
