I have a really nice example of a USA original Peavey Cirrus V bass. I bought it whilst living in the USA. Unusual and new, it has a delightful rich tone. It’s just I’m trying to clear wall space down to say two basses its a bit posh for me, I never use a lot of my basses and hoarding is a waste. Description Spec The body is of Red Oak and Alder composite. The fingerboard is in Rosewood at 24 Frets. It’s a long neck. A 35' single wood through body bass. Tuners are Gotoh 720’s I think. Original anyway. The Bridge is an original milled brass bridge, and all parts are in gold colour. No pitting or deformities. The Control section is comprised of Volume, Pickup blend, EQ: Bass, mid & treble controls with a 10dB boost/cut a huge range of tonal controls. Comes supplied with the original Peavey Hard Case. I’m not looking for trades to be honest, (although I have seen a few ACGs that get me damn near close, she says not looking for any more “posh” basses). Hit me up with a PM if you are interested.

Now £350 Are you sitting comfortably..? then i'll begin A few years back the fine people at Enfield/SIMS were selling off some stuff from their workshop. This is one of those things. Its was a P bass body with about 2mm skimmed off the face and an Acrylic cracked mirror facing expertly applied. The 21 fret (yay high E!) neck is Maple and the headstock was modified to give a more old school p bass vibe. Hardware was a knackered old BBOT bridge and no electronics. The Back is gloss black by the SIMS paint shop. I started out by cleaning and doing a set up to see of the neck was any good etc. Turned out the heel of the neck had to be reduced by a couple of mm, which i did (probably due to the skim from the front for the acrylic changing the neck pocket presentation). I also tidied the headstock the Nitro varnished the back of the neck and knocked it back to give a very smooth and non sticky feel. On the body I installed a Kick-donkey (edit KICKASS) bridge, my go to p bass pickups the Dimarzio DP122 (adjustable pole pieces., high output, great tone), Copper shielded control cavity, CTS pots, orange cap and cloth wiring. The machine heads are un-stamped but are very good quality. Suspect they are Schaller or similar definitely not a Chinese £15 a set! I tried a few scratchplates and settled on the mirror one you see here. Weight: approx 9lbs or 4kgs.. The bass now plays great, warm hi output and looks the nuts, or at least looks unique! I have gigged it a good few times an it always generates positive comments. It certainly has 'mojo' and plays great, truss rod is free and adjustable, plenty of room to manoeuvre on the saddles for low/hi action. There are scratches on the back and one dint in keeping I guess from a guitar that sat around in a workshop for a good while Condition is subjective I guess as its seen some life not road aged or heavily knocked about but there are a few dints here and there, but show room isn't what this bass is about. It's unique characterful and lets face it Shiny! So to sum up this is a very nice p bass, you definitely wont see another, plays well, choice hardware and all for the price of a Squier... Some pictures...apologies is needs a wipedown edit: just run some polish over the back, and most of the scuffs have polished out..last pic of back updated.

I assembled a bass from some nice parts. I’d really like to get down to two basses soon. I have a fretless Precision Jazz with Seymour Duncan Quarter pounder pups, Fender tuners, a hipshot badass 4 heavy bridge, brass nut and a lovely flamed maple neck. Fender neck plate. Rosewood marker-less fingerboard (be warned the side dots are not for fretless, I know I know, it’s what I had to hand) Current strings are LaBella Heavy flatwounds. It’s not a proper Fender PJ (the decal *definitely* wasn’t my idea, but i kinda fell in love with the Flamed maple and the skunk stripe was just [chef’s kiss]) parts were all new and unused and sourced here and there: ebay for the body, basschat, talkbass — but it’s a lovely ash body bass and in beautiful condition. weight is 5.4kg. 11lbs yeah. It’s not light wood but heavy lumber and a real woody so it rarely gets used in my Punk Rock Project. The profile of the neck is very comfy and it has a great tone. Just clearing wall space. The neck is bolted using stainless steel bolt inserts (this is standard in all my builds) and this is good for sustain and tone and general sturdiness. It’s also a good low action and the bass has a really satisfying growl. Looking for £399 plus shipping (which is less than the cost of the parts). Also comes in a tatty but safe for shipping gator case.

Price drop - £400 Had this for a long time but had little opportunity to use it in the bands I've played in over the years so its pretty much as I bought it (sometime in the 90s?) apart from the addition of lined frets. A trawl of the internet provides some additional information about provenance and construction that I believe to be correct. Mazeti basses were manufactured in Korea in the 1990's. The body and neck are mainly walnut and maple, with solid walnut wings and with maple and mahogany through neck and ebony fretboard. The black hardware seems to be of decent quality. Controls are active/passive switch (currently working as a kill switch - see below), volume and tone controls, and 3 band active tone control. It's a 35 inch scale, currently strung with round wounds. My bathroom scales are not very precise but on the basis of weighing with and without holding the bass I'd say it weighs between 8 and 9 pounds. Condition is excellent. Only defects/blemishes are a slight dent below neck pickup as indicated by my finger in one photo, and the battery powering the preamp runs down even when unplugged. I suspect the latter requires a minor fix to the jack socket? The price reflects the likely cost of getting that fixed. When I've played around on it I've been perfectly happy with the passive sound so had no incentive to fix it. There's no case or gig bag but I can package it up robustly if the buyer organises collection and insurance. Alternatively a socially distanced pickup or meet up within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells could be arranged.
