My 4-string is a Bubinga and I like it better than the maple I had growing up, not as bright and good deep tones. Glad to see some fretless action going too! My 5-string is fretless, I just wish they had not put on the damn fret marking lines...

Boy do I miss my cirrus
But when my grind project is done
let’s hope I’m done.
thinking of switching out the single passives for active VFL
or?
what if I did two MM peavey VFL pickups

what if I did two MM peavey VFL pickupsHaha, Yes The quilted maple i just got is cool, but that Claro is something special. I dont use flatwounds on the fretless and it sounds so great.That Claro Walnut though....
i just realized plugging in my new six string though, just how much more tonality i get with the mid-sweep. Id love to drop one in the fretless but they seem to be hard to come by (unless you know a guy who knows a guy…)
I use rounds on my fretless too. Both my fretless basses are lined as I prefer. To each his own.
Someday, I too will join the cirrus club… someday…
I like my Gen 2 in '62 Custom Blue with a Geezer P pickup in it, with black Schallers and black bridge.Not me but my animosity towards 2nd/3rd gen Furys needs no repeating
I also like my Gen 3 in white with a Geezer as well.
....but I admit to favoring my ash Gen 1, the slant SF pickup is pretty special.
Why animosity toward 2nd/3rd Gen Furys? ...repeat away.

No problem.
1st thing is the pickup. Like yourself I prefer an older , more mellow sound , alnico gets me there better than the stock ceramic.
2nd is the neck. I don't care for the stock skinny neck Peavey used on many of their basses. Give me a club every time.
Remove both of those and there's not much left apart from a bit of poplar and a BBOT bridge. Hardly enough to get excited about.
The 1st gen gets points for a thicker neck.
I wish you the best of luck on your search! While not as many of them pop up as they used to (and the price is climbing sadly) there are so so many cool wood & color configurations. As I said in my post earlier today, I tried the pre-amp with the sweepable mids. I did not know my favorite tone could get any better.
if you see one you like at a fair price pull the trigger if you can. Odds are you won’t lose any money if you wanted to sell it.
This popped back up, no affiliation.

It's mirrored from GC's website. I haven't heard of that model. Is it USA?
Yep, they don't get a lot of love. I slapped some Geezers in mine, it's got a really nice neck! The raspberry pearl (aka sparkly pink) definitely turns some heads (for better or worse...)
That's in the store a few hours south of me. If I hadn't just nabbed the Cirrus I'd be tempted!
