So I continue to be impressed by my Sire v7 and I can’t find much to complain about apart from the cheap plastic knobs. Has anybody upgraded theirs to better knobs? 

I'm constantly getting my right hand's pinky hitting the volume/tone knob. (on v7 5) Esp. when slapping. It's just bloody too close.

Great bass in all, by the way.

People seem to replace with Harley Benton's knobs

I'm really thinking about relocating the volume/tone knob on mine...

Hi. II spoke to Sire as the V7 2nd gen I just bought from Amazon has a different bridge. Indeed it's a new one (for them). Looks like classic vintage to me  So far I had no intonation issues. B string angle is a bit weird though,
