Introduction
Thank you for buying the Peavey Cirrus™bass. This bass
was built by the most skilled craftsmen and made from the
finest materials available. As with all of our musical equip-
ment, we have built our bass guitars using a combination
of leading edge technology and traditional handcrafted
methods. Ask your Peavey dealer for a full list of other
Peavey musical equipment and accessories.
Construction
Body
The body of this instrument is offered in two versions
of the finest woods available in a three piece grain
matched Mahogany or a alnut with Bubinga Top.
The deep double cutaway design provides unimpelded
access to the highest fret while the extended upper
horn balances the instrument, thereby avoiding the
need to support the instrument with the left hand. The
Cirrus features our hand-rubbed oil/ultra satin finished.
Neck
The neck is available in alnut with a wedge finger-
board (Graphite Reinforced) both 4 and 5 string models
are equipped with a two away adjustable steel Torsion
Rod. A 12" radius; 24" fret and 34" scale. Fingerboard
on 4 string model, 15" radius; 24 fret and 35" scale fin-
gerboard on 5 string model.
Pickups
Each Cirrus instrument comes equipped with two inter-
nally active VFL™pickups. The low impedance output
increases the amount of signal-to-noise and produces a
brilliantly strong signal over a wide frequency spec-
trum. The sensitivity level of each pickup may be
adjusted by raising or lowering the pickup with height
adjustment screws. Raising the pickup closer to the
strings will increase sensitivity and lowering the pickup
(away from the strings) will decrease the sensitivity.

Bridge System
The bridge system of this instrument is satin gold fin-
ished individual fingerstyle (string thru or drop slot)
three way adjustable, with (Patented Dual Compression
Tech). The individual saddle tracks adjust to determine
both string height and intonation. Solidly anchored to
the body (The Patented Dual Compression System) pro-
vided maximum punch, sustain, and string stability dur-
ing the heaviest of playing.
Battery
The internal preamp places the Cirrus above other bass
guitars of its type. It does, however, require two 9-volt
batteries to do this. They are accessible by removing
the battery cover plate from the back of the instrument.
Heavy-duty or alkaline batteries are
recommended for reliability and longest
battery life. Low battery voltage will result in
“
fuzzy” or
distorted sound, especially with higher tone and volume
settings.
Note
Controls
Volume
The volume knob (1) controls
the total signal level from the
magnetic pickups and the pre-
amp to the output jack. Refer
to Millenium
Tone Network
The tone network utilized is of
the active 3-band EQ type.
Each control [Low (2), Mid (3)
and High (4)] offers 10 dB of
boost (clockwise - C ) or
cut (counterclockwise - CC ).

Adjustments
Your instrument has been carefully adjusted at the
Peavey factory for accurate intonation and playing
ease. However, your playing style and requirements
may necessitate additional adjustments. These should
be made by your authorized Peavey dealer, but with a
little care and by closely adhering to the following
instructions, you may attempt these adjustments yourself.
Please read the instructions thoroughly before
attempting any adjustments.
Torsion Rod
The neck is equipped with an a two
way steel torsion rod neck, should
neck adjustments be desired. hile
the neck should need few adjust-
ments, neck relief (string clearance
over fingerboard) can be tailored to
your particular playing style or
string gauge. Adjustments can be
made by inserting the supplied
Allen wrench into the adjustment

Blend
The blend control (5) is offered for a wider variety of
sounds than available from conventional pickup selector
switches. It may be varied from the neck pickup (full
clockwise - C ) or any blend in-between.
Output Jack
The output jack is a genuine Switchcraft®* 1/4" phone
jack which accepts standard guitar cables. ( e recom-
mend high-quality Peavey shielded instrument cables).
* Switchcraft is a registered trademark of Switchcraft, Inc.

bullet located in the access slot in top of the peghead.
Rotating clockwise will tighten the rod, thus decreasing
the amount of relief (underbow). Rotating counterclock-
wise will loosen the rod, thus increasing the amount of
relief (underbow) in the neck. Adjustments should be
made in small increments of 1/4 turn or less.
Overtightening can damage the rod, thus voiding the
warranty. If you are unfamiliar with making this type of
adjustment, we recommend that you contact your local
Peavey dealer for assistance.
Pickups
The sensitivity level of the magnetic pickups can be
adjusted by raising or lowering each pickup with its
height-adjusting screws. Raising the pickups closer to
the strings will increase the output and sensitivity.
Lowering the pickups away from the strings will
decrease output and sensitivity. How you adjust the
height of your pickups will greatly affect your tone and
output levels. Experiment with different combinations
until you get the sound you want. You’ll be surprised at
how much tonal variance can be achieved with a sim-
ple pickup adjustment.
String Intonation
Accurate string intonation settings ensure that your
instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck.
The proper adjustments will maximize the accuracy of
individual notes up and down the neck.
Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open
string to the pitch of the same string when played one
octave higher at the 12th fret. The actual “vibrating
length” of that string is varied until the notes are both at
the right pitch. The “vibrating length” of the string is
altered by adjusting the individual saddles either
forward or backward‚ depending on whether the fretted
note is sharper or flatter in pitch than the open note.
This process should always be performed with
new strings. Intonation problems are often the
result of worn strings. It is often difficult for the
untrained ear to determine when the open note and the fret-
ted note are at precisely the same pitch. Some players find
that comparing the 12th fret harmonic of the string (rather
than the open note) to the fretted note is much easier. A har-
monic is played by plucking the string with the right hand
while touching the string with the left index finger (as lightly
as possible) directly above the 12th fret. The left index finger
is drawn away as quickly as possible after the string is
plucked‚ producing a “chime” effect. This chimed note is
then compared to the fretted note. For greater ease and accu-
racy‚ we recommend one of the many types of electronic gui-
tar tuners that are available from most music stores.
1. Tune the instrument
to standard (A-440) pitch.
2. Hold the instrument in
a normal playing position
or place it on a clean, flat
surface so that only the
body is in contact with
the work surface. Any
pressure on the neck will affect intonation settings.
3. Play the first string open and compare it to the
pitch of the same string when it is played at the
twelfth fret. These notes should sound the same
(actually‚ there is an octave difference).
4. Using a Phillips head screwdriver‚ adjust the string
saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are
the same. If the fretted note is sharper than the
open note‚ the vibrating length of the string must
be increased. Move the bridge saddle to the rear—
away from the pickups. If the fretted note is flat‚
the vibrating length must be shortened. Move the
bridge saddle forward—toward the pickups—to
shorten the length.
8
Note
It will often be necessary to retune the open
string to standard pitch after the bridge
position is altered.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings.
6. Repeat steps 1–5 as necessary until the intonation
of all the strings is accurately adjusted.
Saddle Height
This instrument features individual bridge saddles.
Individual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the
curvature of the neck to optimize string/fret distance.
Use the supplied Allen wrench to make the adjustment
for each string.
All instrument adjustments interact
closely with string intonation. These
adjustments must be completed before
any attempt is made to set string intonation at the
bridge. If you are unfamiliar with this type of adjust-
ment‚ we strongly recommend that this setting be
performed by your authorized Peavey dealer.
Care for your instrument
This is a high-quality musical instrument constructed
from the finest materials‚ using the most up-to-date
production methods. ith reasonable care‚ it should
provide many years of service and outstanding
playability.
Temperature and Humidity
It is important to protect your instrument from any
extreme or sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
You should store the instrument in its case when not
using it.

Strings
Your instrument comes from the factory with high-
quality Peavey bass strings. String life may be greatly
extended by frequent cleaning with Peavey string
cleaner. Dirt and perspiration tend to build up on the
underside of the strings‚ so it is often necessary to
slide a rag between the strings and the fingerboard.
Dirt-laden strings cause tuning and intonation
problems‚ as well as rust and corrosion.
For optimum performance‚ strings should be changed
approximately once a month‚ or after about every
twenty-four hours of playing. Some players prefer
to change strings more often.
Finish
Your instrument has a durable polyester/urethane or
oil/urethane finish which requires care. Regular clean-
ing/polishing with a dry, soft cloth and Peavey guitar
polish is recommended for the polyester/urethane
finish. The oil/urethane finish, however, requires a
light application of tung oil or natural finishing oil.
Light sanding with 0000 steel wool is recommended
for finishing. To complete the job, wipe with a dry,
soft cloth.
Accessories
Peavey offers a full line of accessories for your instru-
ments. Cases‚ amplifiers‚ strings‚ polishes‚ straps and
more are all available from a Peavey dealer near you.
