We played a gig at Webster Hall in New York, and my tech at the time showed up with a Peavey Cirrus™, the five-string. I'd never really felt comfortable with any five-string; I always felt it was a very unforgiving instrument, like I needed to go work out at the gym before I used it. When he showed up with this Peavey, first thing, I was blown away by the finish, the tiger stripe. I couldn't believe it. My first bass amplifier was a Peavey, in '81, but that was a long time ago and I hadn't made the connection for instrumentation. And, of course, it plays like a dream. It's a beauty. The range of tones is just fantastic. I just started using it from day one. Then, after we went back into the studio after our British tour, we recut a lot of the record, and I used the Cirrus on all of it.
