I believe it's a 4mm...

 

[SunByrne]

Wow. I will be on this like white on rice.

 

[Cullen G]

I need help to stop drooling ...
I OWN THIS already, if it goes to production even similar. So I get it.

Interesting but seems to compete with their other lines but without the short scale appeal. However is this the first preamp that is different from all the others?

Matching headstocks, thin contoured bodies, different preamp. Looks like a slight step up in the line maybe?

Maybe one for me in the future too but it will have to have 5 strings

Do they have any kind of pricing yet?

There will be a 5-string version, at least according to their web page that was there and then vanished.

Nope.

Yeah! All I have is this lousy screenshot I knew to take really quickly!

But timmus ... You gotta answer one question: Whoz ya daddy? Because that IS a 5 string shown!

The black one on bottom, my good Sire, is a GB5! Ah hem ... tut tut

right...but in the picture a few posts above this one posted by klattman is U7 which is showing a 4 string. These pix you posted, the Z3's are fivers for sure. Too many different models all at once. I can't keep track of them and who is referring to what.

 

[Cullen G]

Uhhh, you asked about the GB5 ... no? No .... you did not. My bad.

But the new U7 looks cool in that strange green mist looking color.
The rose color ????????????????
Not sure on 5 strings though. Why would they mess up a perfect bass anyway?

 

[Cullen G]

Does anyone have any info on the GB 5 basses and when they will be available or the cost?
This really piques my interest

Ooops ... apologies to timmus! It was badgrandad that asked.
So now I'm the Daddy" of a bad grandad? We must be in WV!

Again... the bottom is your GB5, Sire!

Sorry I messed up with posting these pics but I got them from the Sire website. It's is a 34" scale

 

[Cullen G]

Oh great ... this means badgrandad is now my daddy!

These semihollow/chambered basses could be really awesome. I can't wait to hear one. Psyched on the 1.5" (38mm I think) nut on the 4 string versions.

Exactly!
I have an RA - but it would be great to have a backup in the ballpark sound-wise.
There really is a big difference going from the chambered body with piezo to a slab with magnetic pickups, even when both are fretless and have the same strings.
