At NAMM Peavey announced that it will release two bolt-on versions of its U.S.A.-made Cirrus Series basses.

These four- and five-string bolt-on Cirrus basses feature the same exotic woods, and active electronics as neck-through-body Cirrus basses, but with a streamlined design and component set for a straight-forward, rock-oriented bass style that requires strong bolt-on tone.

Cirrus 4 and 5 bolt-on basses feature solid mahogany bodies topped with satin-finished mahogany or bubinga, and walnut necks with wenge fingerboards. Peavey's active electronics package includes VFL pickups and bass, variable mid and treble controls with 10 dB boost and cut, while the hardware set features durable, low-profile Hipshot tuning keys and Peavey's Dual-Compression bridge for strong string presence and sustain.
