18 volt active VFL pickups, super quiet, amazing for recording. controls: blend, volume, bass, mid, treble walnut and wenge(top)- very classy combination of woods, sounds great. two octave fretboard gold hardware

These basses are insanely easy to play, the neck is easily navigated, and the long scale ensures a tight B string. my cirrus is not a perfect 10/10 because the previous owner didn't take as good care of it as i do, i'd give it 9/10.

I use an ampeg svt3 pro and peavey cab(soon to be eden). the cab is losing it cuz it's old and beat, that's why im upgrading, but through a good cab this bass shines beautifully. i love the sound versatility of this beast. it is better than any bass i've ever owned, and it's my 5th bass.

Any cirrus owner will tell you that these things are monsters and are built incredibly well. even in crappy upstate NY weather, the intonation and tuning stays put very well. i've never had a problem with this thing, and i don't think i will ever sell it.

I was searchin for someone else review but couldnt see nay so heres mine :) its a greAt compact bass, nice sounding, good value for money. it has a maple mahogony thru neck, with passive electronics, peavy style humbuckers :p unlike most 'cheap' basse sit has a great slap sound, it is my second bass, i upgraded to it after around 8months of been on a cheap beginner jazz copy. ive had it for around 11 months now, and have my eye on a cort3435 if that emans anything to any of you :p

The stringspacing is 6mm as its a 5 string bass, but i cope better with small spacing than large as my hands are small compared to other basses, the strings are very easy to fret and have a tiny fretboard gap :D! theres no buzz or dead spots unless caused by technique. the only problem with it is it kind adints easy and the input cable bit unscrews and keeps needing toghtening :p

Sounds good through any amp, but the popped notes lack a bit of punch. tapping's ok on it, but you need to boost the volume, prolyl coz its got passive electronics :(

Everythings fine other than the unscrewing input part as mentioned above!

Handmade in USA Walnut body, pau ferro fingerboard, graphite stringers in neck, graphite reinforced headstock, dual truss rod. Fretless, 35" scale length, 24 fret markers, abalone inlay at 12th "fret", 5 string. Volume, pickup pan, bass, mid and treble knobs. 18v active electronics, shielded, "studio quiet". Two VFL (Vertical flux loading) pickups, wide magnetic field. Natural finish Gold tuners and bridge (fully adjustable except for string spacing). Dunlop Straplocks. Comes with nice hardshell case, but the tuning machines bump the case, raising potential to detune your bass everytime you put it in the case.

Action is extremely low, due to being fretless, but that's adjustable anyway. Slap is a little challenging. Best I've ever played. 5th string easy to reach. Higher notes easy to reach due to cutout and small body.

I use a Peavey SessionBass head, with a 4x10 cabinet. I haven't played on the amp much, because I don't keep it at my house. I've mostly been playing through a guitar amp but using my Sennheiser HD600 headphones to listen. This bass is great for jazz, though I could reccomend it for any style (maybe not for slapping, its not that bright of a sound). Pretty mellow, deep tone.

I just got it (one week) so I can't really say, but the construction quality is very high.

I have just got hold of a Cirrus 5-string bass and thought I would share it with you. The Cirrus Series of Basses has taken the world by storm. Beautiful exotic front and back woods, studio quiet active electronics and a neck through body have made this one of the most sought after basses on the market today. Take a look at the features of the Cirrus:- 35 inch scale, 24 medium jumbo highly polished crown frets, Distinctive "C" abalone inlay at the 12 fret, Deeply contoured back cutaway, Graceful compact body design, Graphite-reinforced peg head, Graphite-reinforced neck, Dual-expanding torsion rod, Neck-through body construction, Recessed genuine Switchcraft jack, On-board studio quiet 3-band active EQ with bass, Mid and treble boost and cut, plus or minus ten dB, Master volume control, Pickup blend control, Genuine strap locks, Multi-laminated body wings and neck, Protective gloss urethane coat, Custom thermal-fused Cirrus bass strings, Graphtech topnut, Mini enclosed premium die-cast tuning machines, Specially designed milled multi-adjustable ABM bridge. Adjustable spacing, side to side. All hardware - solid-gold plated. Form-fitting plush line custom hard-shell case made for Peavey by TKL.

This is a serous bass but don't let that put you off, it is suitable for any player. You can obtain your preferred action on this bass, mine is set up for slapping so it is slightly higher then most. The neck is not as wide is most 5-strings which means you can hit any note, any where on the neck. One of the best basses around.

One of the best things about this Bass is the quality of the construction and the materials used. Look at the woods that have gone in to this creation to give beauty and most of all lots of tone. The combinations of tone woods used in the Cirrus bass make each instrument a unique and beautiful-sounding work of art. These woods have individual properties that give the Cirrus such a variety of tones. Coupled with the superior electronics, the Cirrus becomes the new standard in bass guitar technology. Maple/alder body Maple neck Crisp Highs Smooth mid-range Warm lows. Bubinga/walnut body walnut neck Accentuated mid-range Crisp highs Warm low end. Redwood/alder body maple neck Smooth mids Smooth highs Smooth lows Lightweight.

It will last forever thanks to its dual trust-rods.
