Hey thanks Paddy, I have been looking at that one 😆

A tentative trade offering - I recently traded a 5 string for this and now need to get a five string back in the arsenal so its last in first out! This is a great bass, it is all that I wanted, playability is effortless, weight is great for long gigs and it looks stunning. I've lifted the quote below from a previous sale of this which explains the bass better than I can! I will add a link to the last ad, but I've added some new sunny photos. 'These were very expensive new and this has had a lot of work done to it. It had a pro set up at ATB guitars and sports a customised Bartolini preamp from Dex audio with a very narrow range that just keeps it all super useable in the real world. Controls are: volume, bass, treble, with a pull for low mid boost and a switch for each pickup to toggle between series/parallel/single coil It has an almost Stingray ish sound from the humbuckers and is surprisingly warm and rich. Neck is slim and flat, like a jazz bass meets a status, the most comfy neck I’ve ever owned. (In Over 300 basses!!) The balance is spot on and the truss works fine etc. ' A 5 string version of this would suit me perfectly but they are as rare as the proverbial rocking horse.., so ideally a lightweight jazz of some sort, ideally passive would be good.

Seems to still be very much a buyers market. With that in mind I’ve dropped the price a bit if it’s of any interest.

As ritsugamesh said it is a great value workhorse with a wide range of sounds. You are welcome to come and try it but it’s a bit of a trek from w11!

Up for sale is my sire five string, I really like this bass and the colour especially but I need to thin the herd! Great stingray on a budget really good quality for the money, it’s in really good condition no real marks to note. Collection from Chelmsford ideally as I don’t have a case or gig bag for it.

Only recently got this as I've wanted to try one for a while as a possibly workhorse for a function band. These are great basses but I don't think its the one for me at the moment. Really good quality and nice feel to it, and a good B string. Weighs in at around 4.3kgs. In great condition, only 1 mark on the body, the scratch plate and rear panel still have the cellophane on them. Could be interested in trades for 4 or 5 strings. Would prefer collection from Chelmsford, comes with a good Yamaha gig bag but I don't currently have packing material to ship. Any questions please ask!

Brilliant basses, I have 2! White and natural, missing a blue one for the set….no space though…GLWTS

It was great but I actually sold it also, as I think I prefer 34in scale, and like you something I wanted came up. But I have the other two still!

Love these, I’ve got its twin! Plus it’s blonde sister, posing with your old 55 01 😁

Pm’ed

Using the bathroom scales method it’s 4.1kg

Hi mate postage could be an option, drop me a message if you’re interested

Maybe, always open to a suggestion!

Putting this rather stunning Sire P5 up for sale. I’ve been wanting to try these for a while and loved the colour combo of this, but I’m back on 4 string at the moment and it’s not getting used. It’s in great condition, I can’t see any marks on it other than usual playing wear on the pick guard. Let me know any questions.
