I don't think weight would usually be a problem for me, I've just got a dodgy shoulder at the moment from carrying my son around a lot 😅. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anywhere near me that stocks Sires so I think I'll struggle to give one a try.

Hmmm I hadn't considered the weight. That's a good kilo heavier than what I'm playing at the moment. Is that going to be the same for Fender/Squier J type basses?

Hey all. Looking to get my first 5 string and saw this Sire on bassbros. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with these? I had actually been looking at fanned fret Ibanez's, Dingwalls etc, but now thinking I might have been trying to run before I can walk and that it would be better to get a 5 string at a lower price point in case I don't get on with it. Anyway here's the exact bass in question, seems a reasonably good price? https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2024-sire-marcus-miller-v7-reissue-5-string/ Thanks in advance for your help/comments/condemnation :). Edit - Sorry, just realised I posted this in the General forum rather than the Bass Guitars - I can't see a way to delete it though, sorry!

Some chill grooves for a rainy Tuesday morning.

Greetings from a fellow Sheffield dweller!

Thank you! I look forward to some jolly cooperation with everyone 😄

Thanks, any advice much appreciated! I'm a bit worried as I got a 7 string guitar after playing 6 strings all my life, but it never really clicked with me. Hopefully that won't happen with the bass!

Oh please do! Our next local one is Feb 14th next year in Crookes.

Oh awesome! A local!

Hi all, guitarist-turned-bassist in a folk-metal ceilidh band here! I've been using an Ibanez Ergodyne 4 string since forever, but looking to make the switch to a 5 string and thought I would sign up here for some help and advice. Would rather like one of the Schecter Model-T Exotic 5 strings, so if anyone here is looking to sell theirs then get in touch :).
