Yo stix I appreciate the comments and suggestions. I haw been watching Talkbass and the Bay. I have been getting hip to the Cirrus sound, pair that up with my Jazz 5 and I will be a happy camper. Oh and I will look into the WMC as you mentioned, new one to me. Thanks again.
No worries at all Tristate! Do you have to have a 6 string? I ask because if not, you should include the US Peavey Millennium+ 5 (or 5+, can't remember what the exact model is called...). They are also not made anymore and highly desirable amongst us Peavey fans. They were basically bolt-on Cirrus' with a different premap. It was a 3-band pre, with a variable mid frequency knob. These are also VERY nice and underrated basses. Found a Cirrus 6 on ebay for you:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Peavey-Cirrus-6-/331118269128?pt=Guitar&hash=item4d182fd2c8
See I have been sleeping on the Millennium too but for the time being I think the 6 is what I am after. I have a jazz 5 and an acoustic 5 but to have a 24 fret 6 string oh the possibilities. Who knows, I am thinking Tisdale and Veasley here. I am watching that Cirrus 6, I think it's the second time it's been put up. Photo 4 is my hang up. Missing truss cover, ok, not a big deal could probably make one, and the fretboard is either really grimy or has some significant wear. Just trying to be patient. I will talk to the seller though.
Did you get a chance to talk to the seller? Pic 4 is a little troubling...but if it's one of the early run US Cirrus', that discoloration may be normal, especially if the bass was played regularly. It may just need a good cleaning....but trust your gut...don't wanna spend that kind of money on a bad instrument.
Well, finally found one! Searche high and low and a 6 walnut/bubinga popped up on TalkBass. Put in a reasonable offer and within three days it was at the crib. I put a crude little track together so you can get a good of the tone nearly flat recorded using Audacity. Check it out http://soundcloud.com/so-coo/socoo-cirrus6-groove/s-o3OoRPlayed it this morning for worship and it sits in the mix great, still working on dialing in more tons but it sounds great and the natural wood top looks amazing.
Congrats and nice audio. My daughter is bobbing to it now.
Haha thanks man I appreciate it. Still learning to adjust to the whole feel/tone of the bass. It sure is comfortable to play though.
NICE PIC (attached & profile)!!!! You will not be disappointed in the cirrus. Thats the exact one i've been sportin' for about 7 years now, and its my all-time favorite!! His name is Brutus . I loved it so much, i started a YT Channel of me playin' it in church...LOL.
