Sire u7

[slapDoctor]

Anyone purchase a sire u7? I've seen Lobsters review on it, seems a little bright but i kind of like the tone. It looks killer too.



It's a great slap tone imo. Was wondering if anyone else has gotten their hands on it.

Late to the party, but yeah, I ordered a Rosegold one past year. It has a much more modern tone than any other Sire Jazz Bass (V series), especially the first string, which sounds more like a Sadowsky than a Sire. With flatwounds and rolling off the tone, you can get it to sound a bit more traditional, but definitely not vintage in any way. That first string is untamable, and it’s impossible to take away its almost hi-fi character. I like it; it’s well-made, very beautiful, but I don’t feel a special connection with it.

Can anyone chime in on the weight? Sire site says that they're 4.9 kg on average, sounds really heavy for a sleeker design like this.

I don’t have a scale but mine is super light… had it modded to be a little more P-Basslike.
