Price check...peavey cirrus content

Man, awesome looking Cirrus!

One way to price things is to search 'completed listings' on Ebay to see what things actually sell for. USA Cirrus 4 strings look to go for around $650-$800 depending on condition. This one would be at the top end of that scale of course. Nice!

 

Yeah the problem with having a special one is finding that person who wants to pay the premium to have a special one! Maybe the best thing is to put it on ebay/reverb and open it up offers.

 

I have paid full price for new Cirrus custom basses. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could get a nice unlined fretless 6. Sadly, nobody values the Cirrus and you'd probably get "generous" offers for $600, take it or leave it.

I have small hands and do alright on 35" scale 4-6 string basses. I think the key is to make sure that your technique is dialed in. A lot of guitarists/bassists angle their fretting hand in a way that makes them reach further than necessary. They also try to play 1 finger per fret, which simply won't work with 99% of hands. I use a mashup of classical guitar and Simandl.

 

It's quite beautiful!

 

I have a hard time imagining many used Cirrus 4's going for more than a grand, but this just might be one. I'd list it at $1300, see if there are any takers and be willing to accept something around $1100.

That said, I think you'd have a much better chance selling in that price arena if it were a 5er.

 

I like the suggestion of playing it until you adapt.
It only took me about 5 minutes, but I'm not you.
Seriously, the difference between 34 and 35 inch is not much.
Great basses and yours looks like a really nice one.
There is a Cirrus thread going on that you might post in.
Many of the folks posting there have several of them and many want more.
