AndyTravis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1424078717' post='2692173'] From what I can gather the US ones come with the cover and a gig bag, but the European ones don't seem to. I could be wrong though. [/quote] Hmm, well, they're not expensive if you really want one, I'd probably do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAUQO III-X Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) The pickup cover comes with the 4 string and it's free. Just scroll down in this link.

TBBassist2011 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Get one, you won't regret it. Got mine from Thomann today, and they are simply beautiful, and plugged in they are just what you expect. The finish is very nice (I went for the TS Swamp 5), and plugged in, the B is perfect, perfectly balanced and the 3 band works as it should. I had a loose stacked knob, which is a minor gripe, but they are great basses, if I get a chance I'll record a demo later tonight for anyone interested.

Sammers Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 [quote name='LeftyJ' timestamp='1420745402' post='2653008'] No, it's the other way round I spy with my little eye - either just a mirrorred photo, "because it looked cool in the layout of the website", or they're doing a lefty version too. [/quote] Saw a comment on the Talkbass thread saying that the Sire team say a lefty version is coming "very soon". It doesn't specify which models but not to be snuffed at either way!

I love the look of the black one, its just perfect, but i love the white one as well. Damn, Only things i dont like are the headstock and bridge. i can live with both but the bridge looks a bit cheap to me (cheaper than it obviously is of course) Too those who have ordered one, when doing a review could you please see if the bass will run without a battery in it. Im very paranoid about pre amps going dead on me at gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think all actives should come like that.

I personally think all actives should come like that. EDIT: just noticed you've got a TRBX505, so you'll know all about that [/quote] Well yes and no. My TRBX is the first active bass ive owned that will run in true passive mode, without even needing a battery in it. Other active basses ive had haven't worked like this and if the battery died so did the bass. Maybe this wasn't the norm though. So while I understand the active/passive switch I'd still like confirmation that it does indeed work as above. Gettting very close to ordering the White/RW V7 though.
