Custom Peavey Cirrus natural Redwood

This bass is in good condition, but most importantly it plays and sounds great. My friend and bassmaker Brian Ristola, who made me a beautiful 5 string several years ago, told me that it was the nicest playing and sounding 6 he’d played at the time. I was going to sell it to pay for the 5 he made me, but he told me I should never sell it. Well, that was before I bought my Pedulla Pentabuzz 5 in January 2016! I only need to sell this and another piece of studio gear to have the Pedulla paid off, and that would be a good thing.

I have the original hard case, which it will ship in. I will also throw in a new set of Peavey Cirrus strings. That's are what’s on it now. I would guess that they are a medium gauge set. They sound great and last a long time. I guess they are about $30 when you can find them.

About 6 weeks ago I had it gone over by my friend and tech Jim Mouradian who lives in the Boston area and is a player himself with the Ronnie Earl blues band. When I got it back I noticed he had set the action moderately low. [wry grin] He’s a blues guy, after all… That said, it could be really low if you have a light touch.

You will likely notice from the pictures that there is no finish on the back of the neck. that’s historical… I don’t have a finish on the back of any of my instruments, except for the new Pedulla. I guess that’s me coming from playing upright in orchestras in the 70’s, it just feels right to me. Other than the dings on the top of the headstock there are no significant problems, and I don't consider that a "problem". The fact is that bass is used, and it has been played and loved.

This bass has weighs 10 pounds, not too bad for a 6. It has a 35" string scale length and was made in the USA. A 3/4-inch string spacing at the bridge totals up to a three and 5/16-inch width, tapering to two inches at the nut, making it quite comfortable to play.

I am looking to get $1000. If you live in New England we could probably meet up somewhere. I play all over New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and sometime Vermont. If not, I have shipped instruments before and not had any issues. If you need references you could contact Tony Puleo or David DeModica on Talkbass, Mike Pedulla himself, Tim Landers through FB  or look me up on GearSlutz.com. I’ve been buying & selling on there for years, including some pretty big stuff. My user name on both TB and GS is Climber. I’m also on eBay as alhospers.

If you want more pictures, or sound clips, please let me know & I will get them out.
