    [color=#000000][font=Tahoma][size=2]The new Cirrus 5 BXP five-string bass guitar delivers great low end at an even lower price. Peavey have taken their most sought after professional basses with exotic woods and hi-tech features and made them more affordable just for you. The Cirrus 5 BXP bass guitar has a neck-through-body design and construction that delivers unmatched tone, sustain and string clarity more than any bass in its class. With two custom VFL™ active pickups and a 3-band active EQ, the Cirrus BXP basses allow you full control over volume and tonality. To top it off, Peavey have added black hardware and a string-through-finger style bridge.[/size][/font][/color]

    I played a Kingston once and was surprised Mike Tobias would allow his name to be associated with it.

    Other than the core shape it had very little in common with the USA535 I had at the time.

    I was looking for a back up to the 535 but 10 minutes with a Kingston clearly demonstrated that it wasn't really up to the job :(

    Maybe they've got better since then though.
    [/quote]Apart from it not holding up to the USA 535 what else didn't you like about the Kingston?

    thats a stunning bass thanks for sharing

  4. Thanks for the pointers guys all very helpful
    Iight weight and comfortable are the key for me as well as powerful enough to cut thru a drummer and bloody loud guitarist
    I picked up an Epiphone Toby last week for under £200 and that sounds great all the Jazz bass sounds but with more definition, I'm now
    gassing for a MTD Kingston KZ four string and wondered what the Grendel was like as it came before
    plus Ms G A Dorsey seemed to like hers a lot
    nearly swapped a Reggie Hamilton standard Jazz bass for a five string version from a guy on here at the end of last year
    but felt I should keep one fender in the collection......just one mind
    here is a picture of the bass similar that I played just imagine it blue with four strings and fretted

  5. [b]Has anyone owned or own a MTD Grendel?[/b]
    [b]are they good/bad[/b]
    [b]any pros or cons am thinking about seriously tracking one down [/b]
    [b]i played one years ago in a local music shop which had a single musicman pick up[/b]
    [b]which didn't look half as good as this one[/b]
    [b]any help would be great [/b]
    [b]thanks [/b]

    Looking at the red tint SII, it must've been a very close serial number to my old #402 as it even has the little red led for the active on/off switch and the same hardware. Must have been a 1988 build or somewhere around there.


    Aha! A couple of Nick's pics escaped, as the bass looked so much like one of mine in the photobucket thumbnails!

    Here's the SII with ebony board...




    There, my work here is done! B)
    [/quote] That was mine many years ago

    May well be the one I bought in May of last year. I found out that they`re not for me, so I traded it in Aug, and did notice Mark was selling it. Was a great bass though, a real player. I also bought a "real" Stingray, and there really was hardly any difference between the two. I`d recommend anyone wanting a Stingray to check these out.
