270degrees Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I have a Peavey Fury V and everyone who's played it has had something positive to say about the neck. Great build quality and it stays in tune forever. Quote
geoffbyrne Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I have a Cirrus BXP 5er and it's a terrific player. G. Quote
Mlucas Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I've seen one on offer on GuitarAmpKeyboard - wasn't sure as it looks a bit too metal-ed up and normally basses like that are a bit risky in terms of tone and playing but these reviews are persuading me to get one! Quote
EskimoBassist Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I've heard that they play great, especially for the price, but the looks really put me off. Tempted by a 5 string, but think I'll go for somehting a little more conventional instead. Quote

ead Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I was the owner of a Cirrus BXP 5, very nice bass, but sadly moved on due to circumstances heading my way. I tried a few and IMHO the Peavey had the nicest B string in the price bracket. (I tried Ibanez, Yamaha +1 one other I don't recall). A bargain for £220 I thought. Quote

Thinking of chucking some passive seymour duncans in to see how that goes Quote
huwgarms Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 picked my 4 string bxp up last month as my first "proper" bass, love it Quote
