kodiakblair Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Mate of mine bought a 5 string Cirrus but the neck was goosed 😥 Now it was the bolt on neck version so bridge position is still for 35" scale length. Replacement necks that do fit are the GV carbon wrap and the Grind 5 bolt-on. Neither of these turn up too often and the GV is getting expensive. The Peavey International series can in 2 versions, 1 with a squared pocket and the other angled. I'm only interested in the angled version. If they were 35" scale length it'd be a cheap and easy source for a replacement neck. So does anybody owned a 5 string Peavey International with the angled neck pocket and if they do could they measure from nut to 12th.

Vinny Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I had 2 of these - one 5, one 4 - and though it was a while ago I'm 90% sure they were 34s. Could be wrong, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 2 minutes ago, Vinny said: Were the black Chinese-built Grinds 35"? They don't bring in a lot of coin if they are. I thought about that. The USA bolt on 5 string Grinds were 35" but don't come up often,folks are asking daft prices too. I've yet to see a BXP Grind 5'er but the 4 string is 34". The neck thru Grinds were 35" so it's still an option,though it'll be expensive removing the neck then reshaping it for the Cirrus pocket. Thanks again for your input.

Vinny Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not exactly scientific, but I just watched a video of me playing my one years ago, and I'm not stretching madly on it like I do on my BTB, so I vote for 34". Hardly definitive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
