Okej, this is a short one... I can only agree with the other rewievers, this is a damn fine instrument. Just forget everything you heard ( or felt...) about Peavey, this a bass that goes head to head with almost anything out there. I´ve played this bass on every gig since i bought it, even if meant i gave my Spector NS5P and Warwick Thumbbass 5 the role as backup-basses...yes, it´s that good!

There´s nothing i would like to change about it, it´s near perfect for me. Great neck, light, exellent playability, really good sounds from those WFL humbuckers and a very good looking redwoodtop.

If i have played this one with a blindfold i would have guessed 3000$-4000$, so before you go and spend that kind of money, get a Cirrus in your hands. I wish i had played this one, before spending money( a lot..!) on hot "names".
