Two T40s here..... and I sure wish they'd do a passive 5 string ala the T40 dual humbucker setup... its STILL blows most axes away.

Peavey have alot of great looking basses(havent played to many...) and some great sounding Amps(preferably the old ones),

i would realy like to try the new Zodiac bases(especially the one wich is Elefsons sig.. it looks amazing... looks slightly inspired by Phil Lynotts last bass though(Roland synth bass i believe?)

Do the Zodiacs come in 5 string versions?

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I don't think the Zodiac is avaiable as a five.

I have had:
-- a mahogany Patriot. I got it for $90 from a housemate who had filed the frets down to the board. It served well as a beater fretless--I checked it as luggage in the molded Peavey case and played it at the NXNW and SXSW festivals, never had a problem. Light body, quick neck, good-sounding Super-Ferrite pickup
--Maple Cirrus 6--great bass but just too big for me at the time so I traded it for
--Redwood Cirrus Fretless 5 #1--Wonderful bass, but developed a crack in the neck laminates down by the nut (I read of other TBers with this problem). Peavey replaced the whole bass under warranty at no charge (but not without sending my original replacement bass to someone else, causing me to wait another two months before getting)
--Redwood Cirrus fretless 5 #2--equally sweet, but it caused me to realize a 35" fretless is just a wee bit to big for me. I sold it several weeks ago to get a 34" fretless Stambaugh 4 which suits me better
--TKO 65 amp--Ugh...sounded horrible with stock speaker, heavy for its size! Boxy, cardboardy midrange, innards rattled loudly. Had a persistent problem with the DDT compression that a trip home to Meridian, MS did NOT fix...sounded better with an EV 15B speaker but all in all I was glad to be rid of this amp. Much happier with the GK 400RB I got to replace it.

I have been quite impressed with the Dyna Bass, Millenium, and Palaedium basses as well as the smaller combos (Minx, MicroBass).

i played a 4 string neckthru bubinga cirrus yesterday... i absolutely loved the finish and feel of the thing. the playability was great! once i start looking for a five string, that'll definately be on the list!

 

[Geezerman]

I own a Peavey Nitrobass head, it gives me some nice punchy tones ( my 212 helps too!)

I played an old fury the other day, it was selling for $149, it had great construction.

 

[bgartist]

I've always had Peavey amplification. Had a TNT, Megabass and 1516 cab, and a Sessionbass head. The TMax head was one of the best i ever tried. My 410TX still rules. I like their high end basses but don't like the tight string spacing at the neck. I had a USA Millenium 5 that was so sweet but I had to let it go because of the neck.

 

[PinkTelephone]

i used to have a peavey t40 when i first started playing that my friend gave to me.. i really loved it minus the 45lbs of it part haha.

i had it until he wanted it back to trade it off for something i dont remember.

and i REALLY want a peavey cirrus 4 string custom.

 

[lola99]

Quick question for Cirrus and Millenium owners... How identical are the two bodies?? From the front, the two look exactly the same, just that the Cirrus is a neck through.

Also, while we're posting pics of out "Cirrus Custom Models" I'll throw mine in too...
