voodoobassman Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I have decided that I do not really use my Peavey Cirrus custom 5 enough to justify keeping it any more. People familiar with the model will probably agree with me that the Cirrus is one of, if not the, best looking basses ever made. I bought this from a guy in America about 2 years ago. I saw a review in Bassist about 15/20 years ago and it had been love at first sight. It had my ambition for 20 years or so to get one and I finally had the money. It is a five stringer, Wenge construction and looks absolutely gorgeous. It has a 35 inch straight through neck which stops the 5th string buzz very effectively with excellent sustain and an active 3 band EQ running on 18Volts. Being a proper custom model it is USA made and should not be confused with the BXP series. It plays and sounds like a dream through my Ashdown combo and even bettrr through a tube amp if you have one. The range of tones available is phenomenal but it also has its own voice which, I must admit, I tend to use most. It comes with its own Peavey case. I'm looking for offers over £650 plus P+P.

velvetkevorkian Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 That's a total bargain. Would love to be able to go for this one. Good luck with the sale
Pete Academy Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Blimey, that's a lot of bass for the price!
velvetkevorkian Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 There's a 4 string and a 6 string on eBay for £1649 and £1889 respectively!
Born 2B Mild Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 A seriously tasty bass. If I may ask, how come is it no longer your first love?
Gwilym Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 what's up with the headstock? it looks like there's a big crack on it by the G string tuner? By the way, this link I got from TB a few months ago in on a thread there about the Cirrus.

Also don't want to exploit other bassists. Interested?

DC9990 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 If this was a 4 stringer I'd take it off your hands so fast it would be unreal!
