RUDY SARZO Signature Model CIRRUS Bass Announced

January 16, 2009

Peavey is celebrating the Cirrus bass guitar's tenth anniversary with a Rudy Sarzo signature model.

With the Cirrus Rudy Sarzo Signature Model, Peavey celebrates another milestone. The bassist behind many of rock's marquee bands, with 30 million records sold, has played Peavey gear for 25 years solid, through gigs with QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and now DIO and BLUE ÖYSTER CULT. The Cirrus Rudy Sarzo Signature Model is a four-string, neck-through-body instrument with a glossy, hand-stained maple top on an alder body. The bass's pau ferro fretboard even features the classic snake-eye inlays from Rudy's original Peavey signature bass.

"When I first got my hands on the Cirrus at its NAMM debut, I couldn't let go of it," said Sarzo. "Peavey let me take it home with me, and I played that prototype until it got stolen in 2004 on a DIO tour in South America. My new signature-model Cirrus incorporates elements from my original Peavey signature bass and the Cirrus I played for so many years. I could play anything that's out there, and to me this is home. It's like my third arm."

Peavey Cirrus bass guitars are available now authorized Peavey retailers.
