Dood Posted April 1 Posted April 1 (edited) I have two of these basses, but, as it's looking like I won't be needing both now, I'm definitely keeping one for myself (for teaching) at least for now and the other (arguably the better sounding one) can find a new home so I can afford to eat. This is the Bubinga top model. The bass comes with new and zingy D'Addario Pro Steels - Super Long to fit the "through-body" stringing at the bridge, though you can top mount too with no issues! Also included are Dunlop Dual strap buttons attached. Around the back, you'll notice an additional switch. A previous owner has professionally installed an EQ bypass (Think Active / Passive switch) should you wish to leave the EQ out of circuit. I've inspected the electronics and the bypass is very tidy. Fretwork is excellent and the action is low, in fact, you'll probably want to lift it a little, but it's nice to know it doesn't start high, hiding a multitude of sins! Active pickups with radiused tops, three band active EQ, 35" scale, 16mm string spacing, neck-thru construction. Tonally there's much to enjoy. The B string is extraordinary. No really, it is. The combination of the right bass, electronics and string manufacturer can elevate those otherwise woolly tones and this BXP carries weight and definition in that department. I'm going to regret selling, it's a little peach. Price fixed for collection. I'm pretty sure I don't have a spare box. You're geting a stupid bargain anyway, so pop in! Quote The new Cirrus 5 BXP five-string bass guitar delivers great low end at an even lower price. We've taken our most sought after professional basses with exotic woods and hi-tech features and made them more affordable just for you.

With two custom VFL™ active pickups and a 3-band active EQ, the Cirrus BXP basses allow you full control over volume and tonality. To top it off, we've added gold hardware and a string-through-finger style bridge. Available in three awesome finishes --Bubinga Top Natural, Mahogany Top Natural and Quilt Top Tiger Eye.

Cornwall Steve Posted Wednesday at 14:08 Posted Wednesday at 14:08 Hi Is this Cirrus one of the Indonesian ones, or Made in PRC? Also, can you tell me how well she slaps please Thanks Steve

I specifically went searching for them and ended up with two!! Oh she slaps alright! Dip the mids, boost the lows and a nice set of roundwounds, there’s a good kick drum punch! Brilliant low B.
