NAMM 2025 Peavey Cirrus Bass

Peavey has refined the Cirrus Bass for NAMM 2025, with features that should be on every bass in its price range. From the pickups to the machine screws (no toothpicks, gang), the Peavey Cirrus is a contender for an upscale purchase.

it's good to see Peavey putting out gear again.

[@Bassic778]

The older USA Cirrus basses are some of the best basses ever made!!!

[@kinglifetrucking59]

I still have my 99 red top 6 string I’ll never sell it

[@tonycarel1785]

Awesome Bass!! Wish Peavey nothing but success. Some of the best amps on the market as well. ( IMOP)

[@MV-XD2]

The US Cirrus basses were fantastic at a relatively affordable price. Glad they’re back! Their website doesn’t even mention them however…

[@jugglerj0e]

John Wetton of Asia's favorite bass!!! What a legend he was!!!

[@bassgearmagazine]

Huge John Wetton fan! I saw the original lineup Asia not long before he died, and his voice (and bass playing) was amazing.

[@messageinathrottle4046]

I prefer his work with King Crimson… his play-in on the Asbury Park soundcheck might be my favorite

[@grahamnunn8998]

Stunning looking instrument.

[@1234drums]

Gorgeous ✨

[@BozCobra]

Nice looking bass

[@AnthoCMusic]

Best new of this NAMM !

[@DanVeallBassist]

If you look closely on our channel, here at Bass Gear magazine, you'll see some reviews with my own Peavey Cirrus basses! Looking forward to seeing what the new models have to offer!

[@mikarage3677]

Yeah it was at namm 2024 too... still waiting for it.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Let’s get back to that dark natural Look

[@jagpanzer16]

Funny there still isn't any information on the Peavey site about these basses!!!!

[@polarbear3427]

nice

[@subwayguiltjp5577]

Very cool but we need a Vandenberg bass. With skeletonized tuning machine heads! Please!

[@halcyo]

I love my OG Cirrus 5. I thought I was spending a bit too much on it when I snagged one for $1300. If these are gonna be closer to $3k, then I guess I still got a great deal haha

[@kenbranch2738]

They said the same thing at NAMM ‘24. I’ve been waiting since then to see one on the rack. They never appeared so bought a Fender Ultra American instead.

[@russellzauner]

so basically a G bass mated with a 4 string TL5 nice.

[@christopherherzog5466]

Any clue as to when/if these will be available and where?

[@TheTraubenstein]

Dammit Peavey! Bring back the T series already!

[@alacajun007]

I have a reissue Aria SB700 that is amazing, that I paid

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

This thing is too expensive for what it is....affordability for a quality instrument was the mojo for the old Cirrus

[@RenardGarzaro]

Have you priced bases recently?

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

​@RenardGarzaro ....have you priced ANYTHING recently?.....doesn't mean it's right.....😂

[@TheShredFaster]

i bet the horizontal magnets are powered by a blast processor

[@jbct13]

So where do we find these for sale?

[@DeffoZappo]

" a lot of people don't know what VFL" stands for" * proceeded to mess it up

[@fib455]

Didn’t Mike Porcaro play this brand too ?

[@ThatGuitardedGuy]

17 volt?

[@justinandsheba]

Nice, but I don't want one battery, much less two.

[@johnlackner1193]

Is this available left handed?

[@bassgearmagazine]

Fred didn't mention that, but we will ask.

[@jsurratt81]

I feel like I've seen this one before... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqvUq6NufMynb7c

[@zeusapollo8688]

Made where I wonder

[@bassgearmagazine]

Indonesia, I believe, but we will try and confirm.

[@halcyo]

A year ago when they were talking about bringing the Cirrus back they were saying Europe .Czeckloslavakia maybe? There's a couple instrument makers doing stuff there, including Spector I think.

[@AlexOnBass]

No pricing info anywhere…..

[@DeffoZappo]

$3,000

[@rayhewitt6875]

Is this a USA made bass? Price?

[@bassgearmagazine]

Not USA made, and around $3k.

[@cbrunhaver]

@@bassgearmagazinenot a great combo

[@cbrunhaver]

Loved the original cirrus. Would be great in a multi scale and with fewer exotic woods

[@rayhewitt6875]

@@bassgearmagazine Not USA made bass and 3k!!!…..Wow! I guess we’ll have to wait for them to be found used for less! Lol It better be freaking good!!

[@roadraider70]

I HOPE they made a version with the whole bass having a natural, satin finish. Development engineers need to FINALLY get it into their heads that 99% of bass & guitar players prefer that finish..........ESPECIALLY on the back of the instrument's neck.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Absolutely agree!!

[@franfenderjazz]

Better off saving up for a used Ken Smith.

[@RenardGarzaro]

Are you Smith is $6000

[@ArdhianNoor]

Ngomong wae lain geur di slap haha

[@arlowolf1690]

Why not just revamp the T-20, and T-40? People want them, they're some of the best basses ever made, and the aftermarket is insane. They could revamp, and release a tester run, and it would sell-out, day one

[@bassgearmagazine]

I would love to see a sub-9 lb. T-40!

[@arlowolf1690]

@bassgearmagazine Right? Those pickups are too good to keep relegated to yesteryear, and niche markets

[@justinandsheba]

And a new run of Foundation basses with super ferrites.

[@arlowolf1690]

@justinandsheba Now, we're talkin'
