Now I have two. These Sire basses are simply amazing! I have the V3 5 string (series-2) and just got a used V7 fretless 4 string (series-1). Both are so fun to play and make me a very happy bassist. Don't know why anyone would sell off such an incredible instrument other than to upgrade to the newer version. Their loss = my gain! I sold my Fender US made Jazz Deluxe, because I just did not need it with these beauties in my shed.

I'm gonna let it be. Can't buy these screws in the US. The B,E and A screws are shorter than the D and G. Wish they were all an 1/8th inch longer.

I have the V3 five. One issue I have is with the bridge. While setting the intonation, I completly ran out of screw when moving the saddles forward. It seems the bridge should be mounted a few mm forward at the factory. The whole bass was flat when fretting at the 12th. Got it in tune, but I'm literally hanging by a thread or two. Bass sounds amazing and plays well, but this is definitely an issue.
