    Sire V3 1st gen vs 2nd gen

    Yeah, it seems that this is the only reasonable thing that can be done in this situation.. Where did you order it from? Ebay, Amazon? Or from official dealer?

    Sudden Lifelessness?

    Your post got me thinking: What if the bass was ''faulty'' before this thing happened? What if ''punchy and that 'piano-like', almost hi-fi'' sound was because of the faulty electronics, some way? And now, miracle happened and everything went back to normal...

    Sire Bass Club!

    If You can - pull a trigger for sure! I highly recommend V3 as a first bass, it does not lack ANYTHING. You will get to know everything about the bass guitar AND you wont be disappointed with the sound and playability of this bass. ( well, this is my experience with the V3 ). The only thing i...

    Sudden Lifelessness?

    I can confirm, that too little break angle from the nut to tuning peg - makes strings and notes sound ''dull'' and lifeless. Had this problem with my Sire V3. After setting witness points and a decent break angle - the problem is gone. The ''sudden'' death of bass because of the headstock angle...

    Sire 2nd generation basses

    Yeah, it would be awesome if someone will come up with that kind of idea.. Well, only if it will work properly :) I would definitely try one out out and might consider to buy one, since i am a fan of P bass sound

    Sire 2nd generation basses

    Wont the pre-amp on a P-bass make the precision pickup a little bit pointless..? The P pickup gives ''tone'' that is memorable, and i cant even think how the pre-amp will change it... Anyways, are there Precision pickups with similar pre-amps? Where you can tweak the lows, mids ang highs...

    No matter what I do, one dead string. HELP!!

    A little bit of update to my problem: I ordered new string set ( GHS boomers Flea signature ). After that, i checked the break angle over the nut. Well, the couple of things that i noticed: I had almost half of string wind on the E string tuner ( i mean, 0.5 wind. it was not even winded...

    No matter what I do, one dead string. HELP!!

    A little bit of revival to this post, but i have a similar problem with my Sire V3 4 string. It was set up by a luthier, so i trust him pretty much. After that, tried it on a rehearsal - and i thought that i have a hearing problem: the E string ( open note ) is completely dull. Next notes on the...

    New 2019 Schecter Jazz Basses

    Same thing for me. Was not interested in shecter until i saw 2019 J basses.. By the way, the ''green'' model motivated to colour my DIY project in the same way - greenish blue body with all black hardware.

    Annoying things that tipsy people do at gigs...

    Okay, but whats the most annoying thing your band mates do, when they are tipsy? For example: they play their role / instrument perfectly, but what annoys you in the behavior when they are a bit tipsy - drunk? For example, it is a nice thing when someone mentions ( after the song ) , that it was...

    The Mediocre Bassist Club

    If they said that it is fine - cool! Have fun doing it. Basically, this is what we all are doing - having fun! Been trying to sing and play at the same time, ended up thrown out from the rehearsal, shamed by the recording guy :D
