Featuring 4-string and 5-string models, in an encompassing collection of nine different styles, Peavey Cirrus bass guitar models deliver the high level of craftsmanship and sonic character that helped bring Peavey fretted instruments to a new standard. With Peavey VFL humbuckers, 3-band active EQ, and visually striking designs, Cirrus basses are back to make their boldest statement yet.

The initial launch of handcrafted Cirrus… read more basses in 1997 helped Peavey guitars gain a new level of respect among professional players. Peavey's master luthier, the late Mike Powers, achieved excellent tone with a lighter, neck-through design. In the revived Cirrus bass models, Peavey brings back this essential feature, as well as the use of exotic hardwoods, state-of-the-art electronics, and a 35-inch scale length to improve the low-end.

The Cirrus bass design improves upon the VFL (Vertical Flux Loading) humbucker technology that originally debuted with this model. VFL was another Powers innovation that optimized the magnetic field for less inductance and enhanced high-frequency performance. Peavey's VFL electronics include 3-band active Cirrus EQ, blend control, and master volume, allowing players of various styles to dial in their perfect tone.

The pairing of the wenge top with walnut creates a distinctive tonal fusion resulting in a rich, balanced sound. On each model, a rosewood fretboard with 24 medium jumbo frets is reinforced by purpleheart wood stringers, which not only add to the tonal depth but provide an eye-catching design that complements each instrument's overall look. Another captivating signature feature is the Cirrus inlay on the 12th fret.

The engineering team also tips their hat to the lightweight 1997 design by using graphite pultrusion, as well as a graphite top nut and graphite overlay headstock with Peavey's block letter logo.

Wood is the material of choice for the back plate, battery cover, and dual-action truss rod cover, secured with machine screws. Dunlop-style strap locks come standard.

With the debut of Peavey's Cirrus bass guitars, past and present reunite to provide players endless possibilities for a new musical journey.
