SeriesPeavey Cirrus

Been playing keyboard for 25 years, and began playing bass in just the last 8 years. Play christian, smooth jazz, and R&B. Purchased from Brook Mays music, in the Spring of 03. For a 6-string bass, it is light weight and the neck is not as wide as typical 2 strings. High-powered output, you barely have to turn the volume know for the bass to be loud. Not too many cons for this unit. I wouldnt have minded a few more choices in wood finishes, but other than that its almost perfect (for me at least :-) One thing I would recommend would be a battery cover that does not require a screw driver. For any guitar player, its a hassle to do a quick battery switch if you have to first fumble to find your screwdriver. Very sturdy unit. This is my 4th bass, and by far my favorite. A lot of care was put into the design and contruction of the unit. The placement of the bridges, the weight distribution. Very good, professional level bass. ALthough anyone at any level would be comfortable with it (from pro down to beginners), it is not at a beginners price. And of course most beginners don't begin with a 6-string. But I love it, and would recommend to all pros and pro-wannabes. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this bass from Hogan Music via Ebay for £299. Which was a real bargain. The neck through construction with string through body makes for great sustain and the active pick-ups give a good output. I normally play it through a Marshall BassState 65 amp using the active input and it's fine. The three EQ controls and pick-up balance give so much variety of tone. The finish is superb and it handles as well as it looks. I haven't found anything I dislike. Construction is beautiful and the finish looks like a custom made guitar at a budget price. This is a versatile instrument which will equip you to play almost any type of music. Well done Peavey. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I am buying this bass at my local peavey dealer it is costing me a full 1600 dollars for the redwood finish. Plays wonderfully compets with every other fender rickenbacker warwick or stingray and beats them this is the only bass that can match the recent legendary Fender Hot-Rodded American P-bass i have one of both now the action is sweet the sound is killer looks are magnificent neck-through string through active electronics strap locks play one and you will understand. the only problem is the 6 month waiting period on the bass it must be hand built buy order. I haven't done harder testing because i have to wait six-months to get it but from what i can see it should be good If you want a expensive high class bass the will make you shake just by hearing the name buy this if not go with somthing else. and if you want to buy this you need to be dedicated you don't want to buy it then six months later when you get it realize you hate playing bass.
