    My comparison bass that was and is my standard was and is my original 1959 Fender Precision. I should never have sold it! The D5 isn’t it’s equal but comes pretty damn close!

    Sire Bass Club!

    I have had a D5 for years over several months now. As well as looking good it sounds great! Can’t praise it enough. Quiet wait splits coil pickup that looks like a single coil. Achieves the pbass sound could be a little more forward in the low frequencies but I’m not complaining!

    Crazy thoughts! I have 3 Sire basses already…a 4 sting M2 and a brand new D5 in vintage white, and a 5 string V3 but I keep looking at the 4 string P5 in Dakota Red. Talk me out of it or into my 4th sire!

    I cut my teeth on a 1958 fender Pbass and yes both the P5 and D5 will deliver an Authentic Pbass tone…slightly different to the placement of the pickups. I like the older vibe from the D5 but I don’t find anything lacking In it’s tone

    NBD:Sire V3

    I have had the 5 string version for over a year now.Also in basic black like yours. Can’t rave enough about it and the Sire line in general. Up to three right now. But feeling I need a P5 to complement my D5 and a fretless model ;-)

    The Sire preamp is the special sauce to an already good bass. It’s there when you want it but in the background waiting when you don’t. The tone shaping abilities are great even at the lower end models. Update…still loving my D5!

    Interesting. I’m based in the US and only have V3 among my small sire stable. I can honestly say I have never experienced any hum from the pickups or preamp.
