The GroovyPlucker

nice...

Hi alyctes, It's 5cm wide at the nut, 7cm at the octave, 3cm depth at both. Just a bit wide for my small hands, it's bigger than my Yamaha, hence the sale, I would say it's about the same as a Fender 5 string, maybe the neck is a touch slimmer, but is the reason why I don't go for Fender 5's anymore. It's up on Ebay at the moment at a slightly cheaper start price or if you're after it now still available at the price quoted, Cheers Mark

Go on do it Gaucho 5. tis a real beauty and the neck is really smooth, practically brand new for the price!!!!

thanks for that paul

Up for sale is an almost Brand New Sire Fretless 5 String in beautiful Sherwood Green. ACTIVE & PASSIVE with a huge 18v preamp. I bought this recently from ebay but the neck is too big for my small hands so am gonna stick with my Yamaha 5 string, which the Sire was gonna replace. It's pretty much pristine, the person I bought it from got it from Andertons for about £569ish and I don't think they ever used it. I say it's pristine, however, there's a small blemish on the underside of the body, it also has drill hole(s) for the pickup cover, but bizarrely there's a drill hole on the top side of the body, this could've been sold as a second, not sure, anyway, they're all pictured and I don't believe they detract from this beauty in anyway. Comes with Flatwounds which I can assume are stock Included is the bridge cover and I have some aged white block inlay stickers on order from America which will be included if required (the stand in the pic isn't included) there's also no gig bag as it didn't come with one but have all the original box which is very secure for shipping. PRICE IS £460 INC UK ONLY SHIPPING, COULD BE OPEN TO OFFERS BUT IT'S A GREAT PRICE FOR A NEAR NEW BASS. PRICE DROP £410 INC UK SHIPPING.......FOR QUICK SALE, C'MON GRAB A BARGAIN....................... here's the link to Andertons for the original price. https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/sire/sire-fretless-basses/sire-version-2-fretless-marcus-miller-v7-swamp-ash-5-string-sherwood-green TECHNICAL BLURB Sire Marcus Miller V7 basses sound better and play smoother than ever before in the 2nd Gen range. The flagship V7 has been kitted out with two advanced single coil pickups bearing a full set of EQ controls, allowing you to mould your perfect personalised tone. Other upgrades can be found made to the neck and fretboard for a new, premium feel. New features The focus of the upgrade has been to improve the overall sound quality and playing comfort of the V7. Marcus Miller worked alongside Sire to redesign the pickups with stronger magnets and coils to deliver a cleaner, deeper tonal palette. Sire have also overhauled the neck design. The V7 now features an extremely comfortable rolled edge fretboard, which you'd usually only find on high-end basses. Neck radius has been extended to 9.5-inches and fretted models are adorned with new medium frets, making for a quicker and more accurate playing experience. The gloss neck coating has been replaced with a much classier satin finish. Its only cosmetic change is to the pickguard, which is also installed on five-string basses as well as four-string variants. Construction Sire like to mix and match woods. The V7 is made of either a well-balanced alder or a slightly brighter swamp ash body. A hard maple neck offers excellent stability and is topped by either a maple or ebony fingerboard. History of Sire Marcus Miller Basses Sire build the now-famous Marcus Miller basses. Marcus Miller is a world-renowned jazz and funk bassist with some of the best bass chops on the planet. He's worked with Sire instruments to make affordable basses - but far exceed their price point in terms of feel, style and above all, sound. How do they do this? Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory where their basses are built. This means more efficient production and full control over the quality of instrument from start to finish. Sire instruments are doing the world a bit of good by taking a share of corporate profits and giving back to society. They founded schools in Cambodia and Laos to teach children’s music lessons.

Not exactly sure, pretty standard P Body weight, but not very heavy, neck is very light, pretty heavy lacquer like a japanese model, but overall not heavy at all, extremely well balanced bass, and it's awesome also, tis ending on ebay tonight at 7pm, Cheers Mark

thanks for the endorsement, never got on with John East preamps to be honest, always loved the stock fender pre's, just think they match the whole fender thing so well......

was also never gonna part with mine but needs must, bills must be paid, blah, blah.....

Karl knows his Fenders, info is out there, just takes a lot of digging with Fender as with most manufacturers they don't archive info very well, which is a bollox as it's nice to know what's what with all models

I was always under the impression the Passive's were more common place, maybe so in the states as I've seen many more video demos of the passive than the active, poss active aimed more at the european market

Sh*te, ur right Karl, forgot it wasn't switchable, will edit, doh.....

Tis an awesome case, just for ref, the extra bag pictured in the stock pic is not included, however the big front pocket will carry fx, as so inside main compartments, the pocket at the top is excellent for batteries n bits etc....

It is, Jazz profile, very similar to the Japanese Geddy Lee......

***SOLD*** *****PRICE DROP £175***** Great quality Electro Acoustic, needs a wee clean, poss new strings, high quality hiscox hard case inc. General The DE6/N is an electro-acoustic guitar with a cutaway and a preamp with a built-in tuning device. Its top is made of solid spruce, which greatly benefits its tone and volume. The cutaway allows you to reach even the highest frets with ease. This affordable solid-top dreadnought guitar is a great choice for beginners as well as advanced players on a budget. Solid top for optimal tone The DE6/N is a natural-coloured acoustic guitar with a solid top of Sitka spruce. Solid wood enhances the body's resonance, giving this guitar more volume and a richer sound than a version with a laminated top - features that allow you to recognise a quality guitar. Chords and notes sound fuller and have longer sustain. Crafter DE6: CR-T TV preamp with 3-band EQ The electric bits of this acoustic guitar consist of a piezo pickup and a preamp. These allow you to connect this guitar with a cable to an amplifier or a mixer, for instance - so no more hassle with separate microphones on stage. The preamp features a three-band EQ (treble, mids and bass), Presence, volume control and a phase switch. As a cherry on top, it has a built-in tuner with a large backlit LCD display.
