NBD Sire F10 5 string

[jjcarswell]

Bought this Sire F10 as a backup to my Roscoe Classic 5 pj.

Played it in a jam session today & really like it. It’s a 35” scale like the Roscoe.

wow! glad it plays so nicely for you --- it looks too pretty to be a backup --- congratulations on your new instrument!

 

[Neck Diver]

Looks great. I’ve been curious about them. Hope you will give us a mini review on your new bass.

 

[GreyBeard]

Very pretty!

It’s a looker for sure….

What would you compare it to?

That’s a tough question…I tend to adjust the controls to get the sound I hear in my head. As to a comparison, maybe a Fodera? But at 10% or less of the cost..

Beautiful yet sadly 35-inch scale. Everyone has a different physiology and 35-inch scale isn't for me. Enjoy! Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to try one of these yet, but seems like a great design and sire always makes good quality stuff. Would love to get my hands on one eventually.

Very nice, i love the looks of this bass. Anyone tried the 6 string version of it? I know I wanted to buy one a while ago.

It’s not for me either ! I had euro 5LT that sounded better than any bass I’ve ever played but the 35inch scale was too much along with baseball bat neck . The only 35inch neck that I will play is lakland cause it feels like 34 based on where bridge sits

That grain pattern works so nicely with that body style!

An important consideration to a point, of how the body is positioned and it's design relative to the 35 inch scale dynamic.
