Thanks! It was listed on ebay as Zebrawood, but dont believe Peavy made any zebrawood Cirrus basses.

Hi @John_E
I took measurements on my Gretsch G5123B and then looked at Musician’s Friend hard shell cases and found one that turned out to be just about perfect. It was a Road Runner RRMBA17 ABS Molded Acoustic bass Case and fits like a glove except it is about 2 inches short on length. But the body of the bass fits so snug I am not to worried about it.
It was one of their Member 25% off items through Aug. 4.

Gold hardware means nothing. Tone and playability reign supreme. @JoshFossgreen is the ultimate arbiter of worthiness.

I know gold, chrome, black will all sound the same.

But Gold is Mr T and I don’t want no jibber-jabber on my bass.

I can’t remember the last time Mr. T was a factor in what was OK on a bass.

Wait a minute…I remember now…it was never. :joy:

Ha, that’s making the assumption I know anything about my own basses. Bubinga and walnut might as well be cookie flavors to me, lol, I don’t know the difference.

What I will say about Cirruses (Cirrusi?) - I don’t love every one I’ve played, so don’t assume that they’ll all have the magic sauce just cuz I played one in some videos.

The magic sauce is what you are teaching :slight_smile: @JoshFossgreen

Don’t take any of this seriously @suegmc

I pity the fool who takes anything on this forum too seriously.

Is this where we talk about the importance of tonewood?

Josh is actually commenting on the consistency/inconsistency in some production basses. Some can be gems; some not.

Sorry about that! I am finding this forum difficult to follow conversations!

No worries at all. I should have quoted @faydout’s joke comment so there wouldn’t have been any confusion.
