So I'm looking to branch out of the Fender world into a more hi-fi instrument. One thing that caught my interest is the Cirrus. Only a used one is in my price range, but I've seen Peavey selling other similiar budget basses: Cirrus BXP Cirrus bolt-on Fury quilt top Why do they make so many nearly identical models? Does the Fury with the VFL pickups sound anything like a Cirrus? This has got me confused.
Fender and Ampeg also use Multi Logos. Peavey multi similar basses confuses me too..maybe that's what they want.
That is what I dont get either. Even the new millenium ac bxp look like the fury with active electronics and VFL pickups. The grind is a cirrus with passive pickups and less attention to the overall finish. I really don't get peavey either. All of their basses seem nearly identical to me.
Isn't the Fury 34" and bolt on? Well theres your difference from a Cirrus. The few I've played still sounded and played well. But nothing in their line beats a true blue Cirrus. Troll
I own a Fury quilt top. It mostly sits in its gig-bag. Honestly? It plays well, sounds pretty good, but its built like an 80s Chrysler. So there you have it.
Hey, don't forget the Peavey Grind NTB series. They are neckthru's and are often mistaken for Cirrus's. Even the 6 is under $450.
Cirrus, Cirrus bolt on, Millenium: USA Cirrus BXP, Grind, Fury: Asia (Vietnam, I believe) There is a large quality difference in my experience.
Basically, yeah. But really, your average Chrylser is probably going to hold up longer. The knobs fall off, the string ferrules arent glued in, the nut is loose, The o-rings in three of the four tuning heads have broken, making it fall out of tune more often then Ashley Simpson.... I could go on, but the Asley Simpson metaphor have turned my thoughts to burning her and it in a sacrificial offering to the gods of music.
