Last week I got a used indonesian Cirrus BXP (left) for 140 €.
I did some basic maintenance and setup . Its preamp was noisy so I built a little something on vero. The millennium preamp with the parametric mids.
Schematic can be found here: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/attachments/millenium-preamp-pdf.1057602/
4/5 pots were correct values so fortunately it was a rather quick mod. I had to drill a new hole and carve out some wood for the Mid frequency pot.
It sounds thunderous now ! When it comes to the sound it's hard to tell it apart from my American Cirrus. I must admit that after the mod the BXP is more versatile, due to the parametric mids. The pups are supposed to be the same as in the American series, afterall.
The BXP has a tad chunkier neck. Nothing too extreme, one can get used to it after two days of playing. Happy modding !
Now I need to supress the thoughts that tell me to do the same mod in the American Cirrus and drill a hole on a collectible 1k€ bass.
