Cirrus* Bolt-On Bass Guitars Streamlined for Rock Styles
(Press Release | Posted 2005-01-08)
Jan. 20, 2005, ANAHEIM, Calif. (Winter 2005 NAMM exhibit #5740)-Peavey proudly announces that it will release two bolt-on versions of its popular, U.S.A.-made Cirrus Series basses. These four- and five-string bolt-on Cirrus basses feature the same exotic woods, active electronics and attention to detail as neck-through-body Cirrus basses, but with a streamlined design and component set for a straight-forward, rock-oriented bass style that requires strong bolt-on tone.
Firmly rooted in the Cirrus legacy of finely crafted, tonally superior instruments, Cirrus 4 and 5 bolt-on basses feature solid mahogany bodies topped with satin-finished mahogany or bubinga, and walnut necks with wenge fingerboards. The smooth, natural playability and expert craftsmanship of the Cirrus Series lives on in these U.S.A.-made instruments.
Peavey's active electronics package includes VFL* pickups and bass, variable mid and treble controls with 10 dB boost and cut, while the hardware set features durable, low-profile Hipshot* tuning keys and Peavey's
Dual-Compression* bridge for strong string presence and sustain.
Peavey Cirrus bass guitars with bolt-on necks will be available in 2005 from authorized Peavey retailers. Please see attached high-resolution image. Cirrus 5 image available upon request.
