But I can't find anything about Indonesian.

There was two versions of Indonesian Cirrus, both were built in the Samick factory.

 

Peavey released the Cirrus BXP in 2007. Those started out as 35" scale length but the four strings later changed to 34" scale length. The BXP pickups are the exact same as those used for US Cirrus models, three band EQ boosts/cuts the same frequencies to the same level as US models. Instead of an ABM bridge these had single saddle bridges.

Discontinued in 2015. I see these sell for £3-400 here in the UK.

 

2017 saw the Cirrus relaunched. They followed US spec to the letter. An extra feature was the inclusion of the 'Power Plate', this was Peavey's version of the 'Fathead'. A pointless addition in my opinion as 2+2/ 3+2 reduced headstocks rarely suffer from dead spots. All had rosewood fretboards

Though fine basses, they were a marketing disaster. Peavey released them three weeks after the CITES ruling on rosewood and bubinga changed. The extra paperwork headache concerning rosewood boards meant no distributors would take them, only country Peavey could sell them in was the USA. 

 

Price was another factor which doomed the 2017 Cirrus. They carried a price tag of $1200 for four strings, $1500 for five strings. In 2017 you could buy a used US Cirrus for $600.

Tout pareil (manche noyer/érable et ailes noyer, 18V, , VFL, 35 pouces, graphite, action dingue, très légère) sauf :

- la table : en noyer sur la 4 (bookmatched aussi)

- la touche :  en pao ferro (standard Cirrus)

- l’electronique : à trois bandes simples (pas de paramétrique)

- les mecaniques : de base (de merde)

- le chevalet : ABM (bien)

Belle machine bien fabriquée. 
Elle est de… 2005, comme sa sœur ! Ça se trouve, elles sortent du même arbre ^_^

Hi hi !

Kasco, l'homme qui a 3 Thumbs, et une deuxième Cirrus !

T'es cinglé, mais c'est bon car ça me rassure sur mes propres travers.

C’est pas grand chose tout ça, juste des beaux objets.
C’est la partie contrôlée de ma vie.

Le reste, c’est le bordel, la boulimie et l’overdose :ph34r:

Oh que oui. Cette 4 cordes confirme encore une fois tout ce que l'on sait sur ces basses.

Ça sonne sur tout le manche, ça fait des tas de sons différents, le manche est fou tellement on peut régler bas, c'est équilibré une fois sanglé et ça pèse 3,8kg avec ses deux humbuckers, ses deux piles et son gros preamp.

Le look peut diviser n'est en tout cas plus à la mode, mais putain, quelles basses ces Cirrus !
