    For sale Sire U7

    Up for sale is Sire’s awesome take on an aerodyne bass and the larger brother to the Sire U5. This one doesn’t have the binding, leading to a softer edge on the upper bout where your forearm may rest. Very comfy and plays great! The neck feels fantastic like all Sires. Very powerful 18v 2 band...

    Sire V8: First Impressions

    I see very little information on the Sire V8 so I thought I would post a first impressions after buying one a couple of weeks ago. A bit of background to this review - I am/was primarily a guitarist who dabbled in bass over the years. About 2 years ago I started playing seriously as part of a...

    Measurements of the Sire V Series Bass Pickguard (5 String)

    I recently bought a Sire V5R 5 String as my second ever bass to treat myself making good progress over the past 1,5 years of playing. Down the line I eventually want to replace the stock pickguard with a custom brushed metal pickguard (somewhat similar to the Schecter J4 Exotics'). But I can't...

    NBD - Sire P5-5 in Mild Green!

    Hello bassfolk! It's been a while since I've been on talkbass. After a rough couple of years out, and rediscovering my love of bass my girlfriend (in an unprecedented move as I'm sure many of you can attest to!) advised me to treat myself to a new bass as it's something I've brought up a bit...

    SIRE D5 PICKUP SWAP

    Hey Everyone, I recently bought a Sire D5. I'm loving the features on this Bass but I just don't think the pickup has that low end that I would normally see in a typical P-bass. Could anyone recommend a decent low end pickup to replace the stock?

    Sire P5 vs P7: better value?

    Hello people, Canadian here Looking at adding a Sire bass to my arsenal. Toss up between a 4 string P5 alder or a 4 string P7 alder. I already own a 5 String Fender Marcus Miller Jazz, so looking for something smaller (as in 4 strings, unless you can convince me otherwise to go for a 5 string...

    Help Sire or LTD

    Hi there, been wanting to get a bass for years and haven’t had any frame of reference for where to start. Looking again recently I found a ESP LTD B205sm 5 string and a Sire M7 1st gen 4 string for about the same price (around 600). The sire has only 4 strings but there’s more I can tinker with...

    Prob a redundant topic but …. Sire?

    I’m getting pulled-in by the beauty of some of these Sires. Mainly the P10 but a blue P7 is also catching my eye. I’m typically a USA Fender dork with appreciation for higher end basses. My guitar gear is mostly boutique and vintage. Good stuff. I have a mental thing about the Sire being a...

    After a thorough upgrade, my cheap Marcus Miller bass plays like a 2k premium bass. Fight me!

    Hi everyone, Sorry for the provocative title but my nephew taught me the importance of click bait. I have upgraded my very first bass which I bought 4 years ago. I now also own a Rickenbacker 4003 and played quite a few MIA Fender basses, so I have a little bit of an idea what a "premium" bass...

    Squire CV70s vs Sire V5. Which one?

    Hello! I watched over the CV Squire for a long time, since it was out of stock for months here in my country. I currently have a 5 string Cort bass, but always wanted a 4 string JB, preferably Fender style, but original Fenders are too expensive for my budget. The VM sound would've been ideal...
