SNAMM05: Peavey Introduces New Basses
Zodiac, Cirrus and Jack Daniel's models launched 07/08/05
ZODIAC 4 |
Peavey has introduced the Zodiac Series bass guitars, a new line of solid rock basses featuring both J-style and P-style pickups.
Peavey say that the new Zodiac basses combine sought-after features with the road-worthy durability required by serious rock players. Available in four-string versions, Zodiac bass guitars are built using a solid alder body with sculpted front and back contours and equipped with an articulating bridge with machined saddles and a three-layer pickguard.
Four-string Zodiac basses feature a combination of one P-style and one J-style pickup, while the five-string model includes two J-style pickups. Both models have two master volume controls and one master tone control for shaping the Zodiac sound.
Zodiac basses are outfitted with 8" radius maple necks so players can work into the standard 21-fret rosewood fingerboards with comfort. These basses also feature all-chrome hardware, butterfly tuners and a Switchcraft jack.
Main Features
CIRRUSâ„¢ BOLT-ON BASS GUITARS STREAMLINED FOR ROCK STYLES
 CIRRUS 5 STRING |
Peavey has also announced that it has released two bolt-on versions of its popular, U.S.A.-made Cirrus Series basses.
These four- and five-string bolt-on Cirrus basses feature the same exotic woods, active electronics and attention to detail as neck-through-body Cirrus basses, but with a streamlined design and feature set for a straight-forward, rock-oriented bass style that requires strong bolt-on tone.
Firmly rooted in the Cirrus legacy of finely crafted, tonally superior instruments, Cirrus 4 and 5 bolt-on basses feature solid mahogany bodies topped with satin-finished mahogany or bubinga and walnut necks with wenge fingerboards. The smooth, natural playability and expert craftsmanship of the Cirrus Series lives on in these U.S.A.-made instruments.
Peavey's active electronics package includes VFLâ„¢ pickups and bass, variable mid and treble controls with 10 dB boost and cut, while the hardware set features durable, low-profile Hipshotâ„¢ tuning keys and Peavey's Dual-Compressionâ„¢ bridge for strong string presence and sustain.
