The stacked knobs on the P7 were bad too. Cheap plastic, but kept sticking to each other. Ie turn the bottom one and you end up inadvertently turning the top one.
I'm sure though (probably on here) people posted replacement solutions - cheap aftermarket knobs.
I love sire as a brand. Best value out there bar none. I'm surprised they've not addressed the stacked knob issue though.
Anywho, they look great basses. Enjoy.
I'm in Preston and would have this off you in a heartbeat if I wasn't 3 hours away. Unless there's scope to meet half way etc? Fully understand if not.
They're great. The mid selector makes a big difference to any drive sounds too. And it's so easy to get a good sound even just running it flat and with the tilt dial.
Unfortunately I don't know the age for sure. It is so well built though. I'd honestly say up there with the best precisions I've had. And the hardware is all upgraded. So it's a quality instrument.
It's bad everywhere. We have a lot of business items that would have previous flown out after a day or two at around a grand, and no ones interested after months at £300.
Worrying times.
Hi all,
I have my precision bass for sale. With lots of fantastic extras and mods fitted.
Firstly, a lovely bass in its own right. Build quality is superb. Balances nice and is really nice to play. Action is nice and low and every string sings.
Its been modded to a very high spec.
Gold adonised scratch plate for that perfect 50s look.
Badass bass ii bridge rrp £120. Really helps this sing and sustain.
Seymour Duncan custom pickups (rrp £120). New pots and wiring.
Steve Harris rotosound flatwound strings. Rrp £60.
In fantastic condition - really nice.
Pick up Leyland Lancashire
It's the way they are doing it here. They were allegedly due today, but thomann in 3 weeks? Nah, I really can't see that.
Then, crazily, they've pushed the date back to tomorrow?
They did this a couple of years ago with a ninja amp I was after.
Its a bit 'boy who cried wolf' to the point no one will believe them eventually.
Call me synical but....... Advertise something you haven't got.... Take pre orders..... Take payment..... Send orders to manufacturer..... Manufacturer makes that order so as not to produce too many.... Then, and only then, deliver said order. Thus immediately selling out once received.
At least 2-3 week wait at thomann. I'd be putting my money on that being more accurate. I'm sure the shipping container didn't just get delayed today en route to store. More likely from Indonesia to the warehouses.
Ticket face value - £150.
In demand price - £500.
Temporary drop - £300.
People will snap up the £300 ones thinking they have a bargain.... erm no, you've paid twice the original price. Not a bargain at all.
Thomann - much much bigger than Andertons and the original sire stockist still saying 2-3 weeks.
I hope Andertons do get them tomorrow, but I'd be amazed if they get them weeks before thomann.
It just gets more and more genius. All this hype and news over high ticket prices makes people want them more and creates even more demand.
Its mental, and shouldn't work. But it does.....
Is it just me, or just me as a bass player..... But a 'band' reforming should be the full band. Not just the singer and guitarist. The euphoria of just 2 of the members getting back together and it being called a band reunion is a bit off the mark for me. I'd be just as happy to see guigsy on bass as I would noel on guitar.
If they don't get them for the 3rd then they need to have a think about what they're doing.. . it's not really fair to take pre orders and keep rocking the date back. I hope they do get them though and everyone gets theirs.
Great stuff. I didn't even know they did no phone gigs, but if they do - brilliant. I'd love to wind the clock back to no phone gigs. Just enjoying it!
