Peavey Cirrus Opinions

[Dr. Cheese]

That's all I need to hear about *that*!

A frustration I have with Peavy - as I do with Ibanez - is they have many models that look very similar but are vastly different in quality and price. Makes it hard to sort out what's good from what's not, save for the old maxim "You get what you pay for".

It is no more difficult to tell the difference between a MIA Cirrus and a BXP Cirrus than it is to ID whether a Fender is MIA, MIM, or MIJ.

It sounds like you played a BXP Cirrus since it was Indonesian. Trust me, American Cirrus basses are as high quality as any production basses made anywhere!

I'm interested in a cirrus in the near future. Does anyne know if there are Chinese and Indonesian made Cirrus (not BXP). I can't tell if this one at GC is USA or not. Again, it's not a BXP. It doesn't say USA china or indo on the body anywhere.

There is a comparison thread... may be a year old or so.

Was the back of the neck finished?

Nope

AFAIK, BXP denotes an import, regardless of country of manufacture. No BXP: US made. My (Indonesian) Cirrus BXP says BXP on the headstock, right next to Cirrus. And "Handcrafted in Indonesia" on the back of the headstock. Maybe someone who owns a newer Chinese model can describe theirs.
