It's a Tune, just look at the logo on the peghead. Lad from Casiopea has been playing them for years, so long there's even a model named after the band he plays in. I've a vague memory he's actually a dentist in real life 😃

Edited to avoid repeating others 👍

If it's a business plan then its a poor one 😀 Still owning multiple Peavey basses I follow most threads concerning them. The 2017 reissue had a long running thread , just like the 2025 reissue had. There is one striking difference between them, a few folk bought 2017 models . 4 months down the line there has not been one 2025 Cirrus NBD here, TalkBass, Peavey's forum, Bassic.de or Only Bass. Won't be surprised when these get quietly dropped from the product list next year 👍

Not really. Barts and EMG soapbars are smaller. When I replaced the pickups in mine the nearest thing was get rosewood covers and load them with Warman Jazzbars even then there was a fair gap.

First announced in 2022. Peavey then showed some, IMO poorly finished, samples at NAMM 2023. Those disappeared for "QC" reasons and the company rolled out a "should be next month" excuse until Feb 2025 🤣 I'm thinking it's repeat of the 2017 Cirrus reissue with Peavey taking delivery of the first batch then hoping they get enough orders to warrant a 2nd production run. Doubt they'll reach that magic number as, just like 2017, none of their distributors are carrying the line. Yet again Peavey are trying to sell a non-US built product to the US market, one which costs nearly 3 times as much as an original used US version fetches.

You replied the next day.

Facebook could slap the word "SCAM" in bright red bold typeface above the post, won't make a blind bit of difference; folk will still place orders then cry "victim". High time the general public started accepting responsibility for their actions .

Chancers were around long before social media, right alongside those desperate to buy into their "too good to be true" claims.

If you're thinking of buying new then best get your skates on; start of the month Steve was talking about shutting up shop 🙁 Should you be in sunny Scotland anytime give me a shout, be happy to let you loose on a Lobe 👍

Most of them were in my spare room cupboard 😀 Had at least one of every model, US and overseas, released between the years 1978 and 2010. Total was 68 basses so luckily I had a very big spare room cupboard 😁 Only 51 manage this photo op.

Reviewer was talking absolute bollocks. Reason Wishbass don't have truss rods is they don't need them. Steve uses old timber for his basses so it's long settled down, then does a 5 or 7 piece laminate which pretty much locks it straight; separate fretboard also adds strength. The final safeguard being his necks are thicker than most, whereas a chunky Fender P-bass might be 24mm thick at the 3rd fret and 26mm at the 12th that's a skelf compared to a Wishbass; 33mm and 36mm is what you get from Steve.

Can't speak for Squier or the Benton jazz basses but this is Fender 51 scratchplates on the PB-50.

Look very similar to the ones mine came with.

This blocked/bound reverse P-bass neck is a pretty good fit for Fender pockets. Granted it's A. a P-bass neck and B. came from Ali-Ex but if you shift your focus from eBay the right neck can be had. Tip for dealing with Ali-Ex is pick a real seller, if all they sell is necks then that's your seller. If they're using the same stock photos as other sellers then move on. When you've picked a seller, message them. Tell them exactly what you want, number of frets/ nut width/ heel shape/ finish. Provide them with sizes, trace the pocket and the scratchplate area. Give them the pocket depth. More info you provide the better chance the seller can deliver your needs. I'd have recommended Wang Guitars but my last dealings were 7 or 8 years ago.

Very true. Zhang Weiyi gets by building around 170 guitars per year. One, built for an American, was priced at $53k. Craftsmen of his standing don't look for work, it comes to them 🙂 Ali-Ex is mostly middleman traders posting the same stock images, when/if they get an order they shop-around for a supplier.

Got the noise maker set to 5767 Hz, it's countering the tinnitus 🙂

Saw that one myself and was sorely tempted. Congrats on a fine looking bass 👍

Hold on. You meant the string ball ends 🤐 Let me remove the size 10s from my mouth. Pop the ball end in place, pull the string vaguely tight and grab a capo.

Wee grub screws in the yellow circles. You tighten them after setting intonation, locks the saddle in place. This wee fella here. Tighten it after you set the action, locks the height block in place. Couple of twiddles with a 1.5mm key and your days of bits dropping out are over 🙂

Had some great looking snakeskin print. Lost in last year's house move 😭

Me too. Got a couple of cracking tort 51 scratchplates from a seller in China and 6 clip on tuners from a promo Reverb were doing. Clip-ons were £3 each so I wasn't too fussed that 2 were faulty.

Both the same bloke, Willie Mac 🙂
