Owned? Hmm let's see: 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - Had it for a few months, sold to a friend and the brake lines went the day of the sale... Friend had it for about a year then threw a rod. 1991 Acura Integra GS - Had it for just under 4 years. Best 1k I ever spent on a vehicle. Had some...

Good morning. Picked up a Sire P5 5 string a few months back but I am having constant issues with the tone pot being scratchy/causing distortion at times. Looking for a direct replacement of the pots, and the input jack as well to be safe. What are some brands/harnesses that are a direct...

Family portrait. I may have an addiction to buying Sires…

I need to get back to flats I always liked how they felt but I haven't had them on a bass in years.

I've heard some critiques of the stock tone pots that Sire has rolled out. I haven't played this enough yet to really formulate an opinion on whether or not it's limited but it seems to be fine so far.

Greetings, ladies and gents! Played a few shows last weekend with the guys, and had an absolute blast! Sunday night we were at Dead Dog Saloon down here in Murrells Inlet, SC. Had a bit of a slow first set, but soon picked up in the subsequent sets and we got the people groovin'. Had a guest...

I do still own out and I love playing it. Gig duties have been split between the two. I haven't noticed any fret sprout, but my luthier hasn't checked it yet I need to get it in for a setup at some point.

My CMD102 combo and Sire basses fit into my CX-5 with ease

Sire M5 is a great fiver that can be had at a decent price. Check Thomann

I remember taking lessons and always being frustrated about my crooked pinkies. Over time, I adapted and just used 3 fingers on my fretting hand but since I started playing on a fiver, I've grown more comfortable using the pinky and it is getting stronger. The moral of this reply is this: Do...
