Featuring 4-string and 5-string models, in an encompassing collectionof nine different styles, the new Peavey® Cirrus™ bass guitar modelsdeliver the high level of craftsmanship and sonic character that helpedbring Peavey fretted instruments to a new standard. With Peavey VFLhumbuckers, 3-band active EQ, and visually striking designs, Cirrusbasses are back to make their boldest statement yet.
The initial launch of handcrafted Cirrus basses in 1997 helped Peaveyguitars gain a new level of respect among professional players. Peavey'smaster luthier, the late Mike Powers, achieved excellent tone with a lighter,neck-through design. In the new Cirrus bass models, Peavey brings back thisessential feature, as well as the use of exotic hardwoods, state-of-the-artelectronics, and a 35-inch scale length to improve the low-end.
The new Cirrus bass design improves upon the VFL (Vertical Flux Loading)humbucker technology that originally debuted with this model. VFL was anotherPowers innovation that optimized the magnetic field for less inductance andenhanced high-frequency performance. Peavey's VFL electronics include 3-bandactive Cirrus EQ, blend control, and master volume, allowing players of variousstyles to dial in their perfect tone.
There are two models available: the Cirrus 4-string and 5-string. Each modeloffers Flame Maple, Flame Maple Trans Black, Flame Maple Trans Blue, orWenge wood for the top material. The Cirrus 4 offers the additional optionof a Quilt Maple top. The maple tops are paired with alder bodies,achieving a harmonious balance of brightness and midrange warmth.Similarly, the pairing of the wenge top with walnut creates a distinctivetonal fusion resulting in a rich, balanced sound. A natural oil finish isused, with the exception of the Flame Maple Trans Blue and TransBlack models, which have a corresponding Gloss Burst finish fora dazzling splash of color.
On each model, a rosewood fretboard with 24 medium jumbo fretsis reinforced by purple heart wood stringers, which not only add tothe tonal depth but provide an eye-catching design that complementseach instrument's overall look. Another captivating signature feature isthe Cirrus inlay on the 12th fret.
The engineering team also tips their hat to the lightweight 1997 design by using graphitepultrusion, as well as a graphite top nut and graphite overlay headstock with Peavey'sblock letter logo. Wood is the material of choice for the back plate,battery cover, and dual-action truss rod cover, secured withmachine screws.
While most of the models have sleek black hardware,the Quilt Maple and Flame Maple models offer aunique flair with gold hardware. Dunlop-style straplocks come standard.
