Request - ease up on the Sire advocacy

[Jamarvic]

Trolls gotta troll. Have fun with your super high quality $500 Fender killer

And haters gotta hate! Have fun with your most excellent logo!

As someone once said, "form follows function". That new SX headstock was a deal breaker for me. I'm not in to pointy headstocks.

What if you thought of it as a bayonet? Think of all the times you could have used a bayonet, or a letter opener, a hat rack, a means out of the box, ........

So then you have tried a Sire and worked the tuners a bit? Also I think what draws the most Fender comparisons is the preamp, it is more flexible than the Fender preamp, that is actually a fact, im not making that part up or being biased.

No, but I have used the exact same tuners on every Squire bass on the market

I played a used Sire at GC last month. I think my boat anchor weighed less.

I wish someone would bring up a bass every one in a while that wasn't a knock off of the same old same old.

They do.

But they either don't live up to their claims - or nobody likes them even if they do.

But what if they designed a truly different type of bass, and nobody bought it?

Oh wait! That happens all the time. Silly question!

And ignored, just another faceless internet jerk with nothing better to do than to run his mouth

Must be a pretty small anchor, I'd think.

I'm sure you can replace SIRE with SQUIER decal somewhere.

Wait wait wait wait and wait a minute!

Is ev'ybody sure it's spelt Sire not SIER?

25 pounder...!

Even if they are, they work just fine and dandy for me, is there like a tuner cork sniffing club I dont know about? Im more enthused about its other more important features like the fact that I could get binding and block inlays on an instrument that I could afford, or that the preamp is active/passive with a tone control that works in both modes and has a mid sweep and is 18 volt and has absolutely silent single coils (at least mine are) and mine is a little lighter than my Fender P bass to boot! All Im saying is, dont knock it till you try it.

They're not light weights, for sure.

 

[Snibborwocky]

Could someone call Donald Trump to weigh in on this? Some of the responses are just not ridiculous enough yet...

Because, they being touted as being on par with other instruments that have better hardware. Yes they function, but that is not the point. There is a reason an American Standard cost more than a Sire or Squire bass.

Haha you win the thread!

 

[H2okie]

I actually never heard of sire ... but I have to admit that when the "brand x" has come up when I'm looking at Brand A or B ... "X" has won out more times than I care to admit. I do appreciate when the suggested brand X or model X is brought up that it's somehow related/on-topic.

Well I think having a middle man, lots of endorsing artists, signature models, made in USA and lots of options adds more to the price than tuners. Sires big advantage is that it cuts costs and uses its own (Dame) factories to give the most to customers.
