Great comparison!!! I used to own a Cirrus USA 5 Bubinga/Walnut and a Smith Black Tiger 5 and I miss them both!!!😢🙁🙁For the money, the Cirrus USA is a bargain and one of the best basses ever made. Next to the Smith, the Cirrus is the second-best bass I've ever played!!!
The tone on the Smith is very rich and lush. The Peavey is decent as it has a good overall sound, but some of the frequencies aren’t as accurate as the Smith in the mix.
As a new cirrus owner, definitely the smith. Has a more even and pronounced sound. Definity think think the peavey gets to that smith sound a little, but not quite there (at least from what I hear here)
the strings on the Peavey isn't as fresh as on the Ken. But price point this Peavey is quite entertaining, nice built as well, simpler sound than Ken that has more choices and more boutique feel. Don't mind to own both :)
Wow!!! Very nice. Must have on the Smith for sure.
Agreee 😊

I need to try the US Cirrus 5, lemme know if there's one cirrus 5 around ;)

@@RamaNatan yeah absolutely. Personally if I had the smith, I don’t know if I would need a peavey, but you do make a fair point!
Need Peavey in a smoking environment and more challenging venues lol, yes Ken covers it all@@Ben-ic1ve
Smith any day!
I own the cirrus. I have the bubinga/walnut wood combo. These get yhe closest to the ken tones
The punch with that wood combo is killin
@@RamaNatan yessssirrrrr
Ken Smith hands down!!!❤ the peavey sounded fantastic,but it can't touch that Smith!
The KS is quite intimidating with its preamp set ;)
@@RamaNatan compared to that sire preamp (M5/7 specifically), it’s quite easy to wrap my head around 😅
quite nice budget preamp for Sire M7, but hey, other factors create the sound outside of the pre@@Ben-ic1ve
@@RamaNatan of course! I was just referring to the intimidation factor lol
Ken swallows it@@Ben-ic1ve
The 2 are good , no preference
No Vs EVER!! Ken Smith is the best 💯 NO COMPARISON!
