NBD...again?!

[Vitrius Humor]

This one caught my eye and now it's in my house. At this or any price point, these basses have some of the sweetest playing/feeling necks I've ever played! Actually has me thinking of getting rid of some basses I don't play for that very reason; they're okay, but they aren't the ones I instinctively grab when I feel like grooving...this is my second Sire.

That’s a sweet looking bass, OP. I didn’t realize they were doing early P style basses at Sire. Love the color too! Rock it in good health.

Just a reminder- people post NBD threads because they’re excited about their new purchase. If you want to post something negative about those items, post them in a more appropriate place- there’s no need to needlessly rain on someone else’s parade.

Nice and sleek modern-ish take on a classic!

Roasted maple?
Maybe it's just the angle, but that looks just a bit different than the typical Fender or Squier...horns and pickguard a bit pointier.
Nice!
(Headstock looks a bit different than the usual Sire so I'm guessing it's the angle.)

Nice!! And you are so right about the Sire necks being most excellent.

Great looking bass!

Congrats and enjoy!

The quality of lower end imported instruments these days is amazing.

Beautiful bass, congratulations!

 

[LAST_C]

Congrats!! I'm sure it sounds as amazing as it looks.

 

[Killing Floor]

That’s sweet. Classic and gorgeous. Rock the paint off it.
Congrats.

Dig it! Congratulations. There’s definitely something special about SCPBs.

That’s cool I didn’t know they did early P style basses either. Is the headstock longer than normal? Or just appear that way because of the photo angle? Thinner top to bottom is cool as well (buzzard like).

Nice! I just got a Squier CV 50' s bass last week as I love this style of precision bass. The Sire looks great also.

 

[Vitrius Humor]

The headstock is the same length, but they tried to put a spin on the Tele style neck of the early PBs. I appreciate the support for my expression of joy at getting a new bass. Thanks, guys!

 

[Tanner5382]

I like how they styled the horns somewhat pointier, it looks good. The vintage tint of the neck is done very nice and looks great with the blonde/cream body. Enjoy your bass!

 

[Davebass77]

Congrats on the new bass! That style is going to be my next build/assembly. Play it in good health!!

 

[CletusMarley]

Nice score! Congrats!

As I landed on the page, I could read the OP, and see the very tip of the headstock.
As I scrolled down the picture to expose the whole picture, all I could think was...

Not a huge fan of Sire's eleventy-knob Js and Ps, but this is a stunner.
Congratulations.

Cool bass! I keep hearing such good things about their necks so I'll have to make an effort to get my mitts wrapped around one one of these days.

Odd question: is there something weird going on with the G tuner? Is it a reflection of the D tuner I'm seeing?

I just bought a P5R fiver a few months ago and it is my go-to bass. Love the look, feel, tone and quality. I own five basses, some of them waaay more expensive than the Sire, and the Sire is the one I grab. Great choice.
