PEAVEY began making the Cirrus 4 Bolt-On in 2005

The Peavey Cirrus 5 was introduced in 1997. It has a walnut body with various figured bookmatched top options including maple, redwood. Peavey described the features of the Cirrus 5 bass as follows:

Wenge with walnut is a superb combination for those who appreciate warmth with plenty of upper-end bite. The Cirrus walnut back and walnut neck are the basis for the warmth. The addition of the much harder wenge top gives a nice sizzling presence on the top end while still offering great sub-lows.
