Details

This was my main bass for about a year, just used for weekly band practice and some recording. I bought it used from Guitar Center so I don't know the history.

I got a multi-scale J bass a couple months ago which has become my main, so I am moving on from the Sire despite it being so nice (both looks and sound). I need a new windshield so it's forced my hand.

I have slightly modified the bass with a 1uf tone cap and sandalwood knobs. I have the originals of both. No other changes and everything on the bass is fully functional.

Lots to like about the V10 at the price point. The roasted flame maple neck feels and looks amazing. The pickups and preamp are great, super flexible tone with the brightest brights and thickest lows. Can easily roll a little or a lot of the high end with the tone knob.

It was well taken care of but does have a few minor dings and swirling in the clear coat. I've tried to show the dings in the photos. There is a very tiny indentation on the side of fingerboard at the 4th fret but I can't get it to show in a photo.

Weight is a reasonable 9.2 pounds on my luggage scale.

Price is $950.

Thanks!

Yes, when you consider the price and how much it costs to get the same details and treatment from higher end makers it's really an amazing piece. Literally the best bass preamp I've ever used as well.

Are the abalone position markers inlaid or stickers? Either way they look great. What’s the string spacing? Btw, it’s a beaut! GLWTS

Hey Bob! You bought my 5502 last year.

Those are real inlays.

Spacing is 18mm I believe. It's perfect for slapping.

Attaching a track I used the V10 on last year. There is some amp/cab EQ and compression but the integrity of the sound is there.

And here's a video, this recording has more compression but it was direct.
