The newer generations of bass players are keen on their downtuning. Other than going all in with radical fanned frets, I think a 35-inch scale is a shrewd decision in today's environment. Quote

For all their reputed quality as instruments, I don't think I've ever seen one of the old US-made Cirruses (cirri?) in the hands of a player on TV or a big stage. Perhaps the odd session player here and there. I think they were mostly popular with gospel and CCM-type performers in the US – I vaguely recall someone telling me that Peavey always used to have generous financing and deals for churches. I think they belong in the £1000 - £1500 market, that 3k pricing looks ridiculous to me. Quote

John Taylor of Duran Duran isn't exactly a gospel player and plays maybe too big stages when he appears on TV... And maybe Mike Porcaro was a weekend warrior playing only poorly advertised and badly paid pub gigs never seen on TV... Edited June 29 by Hellzero Quote
