The Peavey Cirrus series achieved mythic status among professional bassists soon after the first models hit the streets. These bolt-on bass guitars were designed to make the Cirrus sound and feel accessible to conventional players.

Since debuting in 1998, the esteemed Peavey Cirrus Series has become a favorite of professional bassists and all who appreciate finely crafted, tonally superior instruments. With their exotic body woods, expert craftsmanship, active electronics and smooth, natural design, Peavey's Cirrus bass guitars are among the most coveted basses ever made.

Mahogany body
The Peavey Cirrus bass body uses mahogany wood, a dense species of wood that produces solid bass tone, with punchy, defined attack, providing ideal bass presence for Blues, R&B, or hard-driving Rock.

Solid mahogany bolt-on body and neck construction
The bolt-on design on the 5-string bass is designed to minimize neck movement, so you retain optimal bass tone, without losing any clarity or presence. The result is a mahogany body and mahogany neck joined together with precision and strength, maintaining all the sonic qualities of the Peavey Cirrus bass' luxurious wood, for thick, bold, and ground-shaking sound.

Sculptured neck heel joint
The 5-string bass's unique sculptured neck heel joint provides smoothness and comfort when accessing the upper-register frets”where the Peavey Cirrus 5 bass shines with immaculate sound. Run your fingers up and down the fretboard quickly without stumbling around bolt plate edges.

Walnut neck and wenge fretboard

Very hard wenge wood covers the walnut neck so the Peavey Cirrus bass' tone is clear and precise, and the sustain is lasting.

Tilt headstock
This headstock design keeps the optimal tension on the strings so you stay in tune, and your 5-string electric bass is tight in all the right places, with no string movement at the nut.

Hipshot mini-style machine heads
Hipshot tuners are among the best in the business, offering incredibly precise tuning that lasts.

Electronics
The electronics system on the Peavey Cirrus 5 bass features on-board active 3-band EQ, bass, variable mid and treble control, 10 dB boost and cut, and two Peavey VFL active pickups to produce the dynamite bass sound. The VFL pickups are active and have lots of bold mid-range punch. You'll love the sonic control you have with the 3-band EQ, mid and treble control, and dB boost/cut, so you can dial in your own individual tone.
