It had to be something like that. The Cirrus really does resemble the Quantum.

The guy was Rich Lasner. He left Peavey to became president of Modulus. He was Peavey's Product Manager for Guitars and Musical Instrument Amplifiers. I met him back in the day. Super nice guy and great player.
I know what I hate and I don't hate this.A picture's worth a thousand words... or a URL click...
Is it just an expressive paintjob or did he follow the grain of the wood? Kind of reminds me of the multicolor laminate wood stocks you sometimes see on rifles.
It looks like it was painted with multiple layers of colors, then partially sanded through in places to get the effect, then clearcoat over everything.
At least to my eye thats how it looks, thats how I would have done it to get that effect.

I'm gigging the Cirrus for the first time tonight. The 35" scale isn't bothering me at all. The p bass neck is a lot different than the Jazz necks I've been playing for years but I'm adjusting quickly. I can say that the preamp really works.
Cirrus>Aguilar>Berg sounds great! Punchy and tight.
There was a bass player at the show last night who had no idea what any of my gear was but loved the tone. Obviously not a talkbasser lol

Well,after doing some more trouble shooting on the T20,I just acquired,with humming. I had it hooked up to an SWR LA15,and it was humming real bad. I have another amp,at Church,which is a SWR Redhead,and when I hooked it up to the Redhead,there was
not any hum,if any,it was not real audible,like it was with the LA15? So I am still going to shield the cavity,around the pots,and pup. It actually played real well. I just had to crank the volume,on the amp,to get the full volume,I needed. So far the neck seems okay. I put a new set of roundwounds,on there and l lowered the strings,and set the intonation. I am use to playing the L2000,which has more umph?
Nice. If you get a chance try flats. Mine will never come off. I've posted this before, but I've had comments from audience and other bass players that they prefer the tone of my Fury to my Bongo. It was 1/10th the price!!!
Nice, thanks for posting. I'm sure the guitar player to your left loves the extra length of the 35" scale

Haha! The camera angle makes it look closer than it was although I was definitely cognizant of the danger.
Noticed a T40, Dayton,Springfield,OH,CL white with maple neck. Thought I would pass it on,if anyone was interested. Already have three bass guitars,one of which is the T20. Asking price was,$550,just lowered to 450,with original case. Check it out!
I don't know anything about Peaveys. Any info about what I just bought would be appreciated. From what I'm reading online they seem to be well regarded workhorse basses. Apparently those with super ferrites are better than those without. Any idea if this one has those? What kind of pickups are they either way? Humbuckers? Are these 34" scale? Is it wired v/v/t? I'm not really a five string player. Do these have good Bs? I saw it on the GC used site and something about it just spoke to me. 150 bucks. Did I do good? I bought it sight unseen and without speaking to anyone in the store (not that their description is worth anything), so returning it is always an option. Anything in particular to look out for when I get it? Any common issues?
Also, you can see on the middle picture that the strings are a bit shifted towards the right. Is the neck easily reseated? Or should I just live with it.

Nice score. I just sold one locally for $150 but that's not it.
That's a second generation Foundation 5 string. The pickups are large single coils and are called VFLs. They are passive and were used on Peavey's top of the line TL-5 and the Foundation 4 string of that generation. They were the basis for the active VFLs used on Peavey's high end bass, the Cirrus. They are excellent pickups, IMO. I have three Peavey basses with them. Two TL-5s and a Foundation 4 string. The VFLs do have a different voice than the Super Ferrites but I'm comfortable with either. They both sound good to me.
It's a 34" scale and the B will depend mainly on the tension of the strings you use. I've used .130"-.050" string sets of various brands and have had no problems with the way they act. Not the tightest in the world but neither are they floppy by any means
It's wired V/V/T. Since the VFLs are single coil, even thought they are well shielded internally, they can pick up hum fields. The good thing is that when they are both turned up the same amount they form a humbucking pair to cancel the hum.
It's easy to shift the neck to get the string margin right. Slack off on the strings, loosen the neck bolts and use gentle but firm pressure to move the neck. I normally have the two strings on the side I want to move it toward at a higher tension than the others to help keep it in place while tightening the neck screws. Tighten the two screws by the neck first and the ones toward the body last.
If you have any problems post them here and someone will be along to help.
