castlemaine22 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I'm looking to move on my Sire V7 Vintage 5 string in a beautiful transparent white. I've had this bass for just over a year, it's seen a lot of gigs but has been very well looked after (see pics). This thing sounds like a 70's jazz should - nice and growly and aggressive which sits great in a mix. The bass is in great condition, the only blemish I could find that was worth photographing is on the headstock. A few upgrades have been made from the stock V7: The preamp had been changed to a Delano Sonar 2, with push/pull active/passive on the volume and tone roll off in passive mode, running on 18v. The bridge has been changed to a Fender Hi-Mass brass unit which sounds great! The frets were levelled and polished by a respected luthier followed by a setup, this allows a super low action and it's a fantastic player! The bass is located in Leeds, you're more than welcome to come and try it out. Can ship at buyers expense within the UK, I would also be willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet with a buyer. I'm looking for £360 for this great bass. If you have any questions at all, please let me know Edited February 23, 2018 by castlemaine22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi there! Do you know what the weight is please? Also, just curious, but why did you change the preamp out? It seems to be the main thing people rave about with these! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
