For sale Sire p5 with major mods. 8lbs

An 8lb 5 string p bass from
A great seller. This shouldn’t last long. First sire 5 modded or not that I have seen this light. Would be tempted to pick it up if not for the roasted maple board. I had a Sandburg super light with one and couldn’t see the darn side dots on a dark stage. Old people problems..

Thanks for the kind words.
I have 2 p5's, and I just picked up a human bass Roxy. I'm not gigging as much, and have wst too much gear not being used

Still available.
There was nothing wrong with the bass when I got it, other than neck dive. The tuners fixed that, and I had other parts already. Had I not found the human bass, I would be keeping it.

Surprised this is hanging around, you should put the weight in the thread title.

Changed title

If it keeps staring it me, I might have to start looking into neck dot stickers.. Assuming that is a thing.

It has fret markers, but the roasted maple necks make it hard to see.
I'd put some white(ish) color blocks on there if I keep it

Someone needs to buy this. It's too nice not to be used

Neck Illusions has blocks or whatever you’d like.
I have blocks on one of my Dingwalls from them.

Do you know the string spacing at the bridge and the nut width is on this? I have a G&L JB-5 and love the string spacing. My Fender P5 is a little wider in both spots and not as playable.

G RICH 5 · Nov 10, 2022

18mm spacing. I dont know the nut width, you may be able to get it on the sire site. The bass is at a store on consignment

For side dots look up luminlay. I recently bought a bass with 4mm luminlay side dots added. They glow amazingly well.

Do people tend to want lighter basses? I’m new to bass (guitarist) and keep seeing weight as a super common concern. Also bridge width (or is it nut width)… and string spacing. I’m hoping to figure it out sooner or later and compare it to my bass and think of what my preferences would be

I do, now. Back and neck problems
Some do. Some dont
