USA Peavey Cirrus in pretty much immaculate condition with hardshell case - they're going for approx.£900 2nd hand atm due to custom shop exclusivity. A damn good all rounder which I associate with Rudy Sarzo (Whitesnake), Verdine White (Earth, Wind and Fire), John Taylor (Duran Duran), Bill Dickens (Solo Artist) and other Gospel players. Does P/J and a Hi-Fi R'N'B - mainly a punchy eighties bass. Has the ability to cut through like a knife and fall back into the mix with the EQ knob. Neck is unlaquered and quite similar to a Musicman Sterling. Slaptastic and cuts through like a knife. Custom/Hand made Graphite Reinforced 24 fret 35" scale neck (great tension, fantastic for drop tuning!) TFL Active Pickups Pau Ferro Fingerboard (although looks rosewood to me!) 'C' Mother of Pearl inlay on 12th fret Thru Neck 5pc maple/purple heart Contoured Alder wings Figured Maple top with light flame Graphite faced headstock Gold schaller/ABM hardware with black plastic knobs (Volume, Bass, Treble, Mid, Pickup Balancer and EQ). Sub 8lbs. 4 strings From £795 to £740 posted. Edited September 12, 2010 by Schnozzalee

Pete Academy Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 That's a lot of bass for the price. Good luck.

I can't fault it at all, no niggles or anything...well, I don't like the current strings I put on it so I'll chuck in another set of rounds if it sells/trades.
Schnozzalee Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) The 35" scale is great for the pick bass player, I've never used a plectrum before because I couldn't get on with it - but the extra tension helps significantly! Edited July 22, 2010 by Schnozzalee
Schnozzalee Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Don't know how else to sell it to you, its one of those secret gems like the old G&L tributes, Cort A4/5/6 or the 70's Tokais - or the not so secret Squier Vibe series. Except in this case I've heard gospel players liken them to the early Tobias basses.
Schnozzalee Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Ok, £765 posted following price drop. Don't really want to drop lower as I had to import it from the US. A very solid workhorse made very versatile courtesy of its EQ - Like a Kubicki of better build.
Schnozzalee Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 This is the same finish as my Cirrus played by a poor ole chap whose in need of setup methinks. Never heard the song before...

Schnozzalee Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 Interest but no definate buyer so I'll drop it my weeks food bill to £740 posted.

Jabba The Hutt Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Awesome basses - I have one (exactly the same) and wouldn't lose mine for love nor money :-)
jackduran Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Just going to check how much cash I've got down the back of the couch... This is why I should avoid the Sales threads! I'd love to try one of these. Bump for you.
jackduran Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Just seen how old the OP is! If only it was still for sale, eh?
jackduran Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 [quote name='bassatnight' timestamp='1325455462' post='1483383'] This thread is from September? [/quote] The OP is dated 2010. Think there's been a few posts since then though!
