| Ibanez or Peavey For about the same price I can get a Peavey Cirrius OR an Ibanez SR400.....
Thoughts, pro, cons, advice....
My main bass now is my Fender P... looking for a little different sound but not too harsh, I've not like the tone I've gotten with Musicman types of pickups. Not a metal player, focus mostly on Contemporary, Gospel, Blues, classic rock, with some country and jazz thrown in at times.
Thanks

| I've never played a Peavey or an Ibanez bass. As far as guitars go though, I would probally pick Ibanez over Peavey. I'm not a fan of Peavey. Nor Peavey amps. I know a girl with a Peavey bass that makes it sound right though. |

Thanks | US made Cirrus or overseas series?
I am a huge fan of the Made in USA Peaveys. Really, really solid, good sounding gear.

| The BXP model, but I've found an Ibanez SR500 in the same price range that I'm leaning toward

| The Ibanez SR500 with Bartollinis will definitely be the growliest bass out of those three. The Cirruses (Cirri?) are also great basses, but I'm a little bit wary of Peavey's BXP line quality. I've only played a few of their BXP basses (not the Cirrus) and they were all kind of sketchy. The BXP does have the same electronics as the US-made Cirrus, which are AWESOME if you like really clean, modern sounding basses, so keep that in mind.
If it were my money, I'd go with the SR500. |

| Thanks. That's what I figured after all my research. Glad to have it validated.
I bought the SR500.

| Find a music store, play models from both, then you will know which one you want.
