Bassmonster

just worked through this whole thread, impressive stuff

I'd love a P7 to match my V7 but there's no way I can afford it at the moment. If they'd brought the two out at the same time, I think I might have gone for the P7 (as I understand it, they share the same neck dimensions etc).

from what i can gather it appears to be somewhere between a Jazz & Pbass profile

i couldn't decide between the vintage and non vintage either but that price on thomann for the V7 5 Ash has sealed it for me....the M7 is also on the wish list for me PBasses don't do it for me or i'd be having one of those too😁

As are such simple hardware issues as knobs. My fret ends were ok, but I replaced the knobs with shiny ones from fleaBay and the tuners with some nice Hipshot ultralites (thus shaving a good half pound off the overall weight of the bass).
Twisted necks and duff finishing and dodgy woodwork are all problems, and as far as I know they are absent from Sire instruments. Tuners and knobs are just niggles.

 

yep, from my digging about that seems to be the general opinion

i'm seriously looking at a lefty V7 on thomann at the moment...can't really justify another bass...but its so tempting

Welcome dude, I was also told to play right handed but it just didn't take, I'm not sure I agree with that teachers opinion on progress, there's much more instruments available now guitar wise, but the bass market is still a bit hit and miss, I do wish I could play righty though, so much more choice

I think that was mine originally think I sold it to you?, There's one on ebay, previously mine I reckon, I recognise some of the dings, glad to see she's still around

Warwick Rockbass Corvertte 5 (passive) one of the older ones, needs a bit done on the electronics but apart from that in otherwise excellent condition £200

Ibanez GSR200 (passive), not be much to be said here cheap reliable bass, £50

Always liked the look of this bass.
Shame I've no spare cash and have decided to go back to playing 5 string for most gigs.
Best of luck with the sale.
