jonnybass Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I have been on the lookout for a backup five for my acg for a while. Finally pulled the trigger and picked up a b stock sire v7 five in burgundy. Amazing amount of bass for the money. What a sound. ..here’s a quick photo more to follow later 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you can pick up a set of lightweight tuners, these will help with the overall weight and the neck-heaviness... I fitted licensed Hipshot HB6's to my V7 fiver and they shaved half a pound off the total weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ymmv 8.5lbs actually really light for a 5. One of the lucky ones (my P7 is 10lbs ) They’re fabulous basses, and you’ve got the best colour V7 IMO, looks great without pickguard too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Great bass, truly good value. Congrats! I have the fretless version (albeit in the correct off white colour ), but do have issues with neck dive / balance and pressure on my damaged collarbone. I am with Rich on the tuners. Sadly my Ultralights have still not arrived (despite being paid for a month ago). I can only play it for any time sitting down at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This is exactly the V7 I’ve been eyeing up for months now. @jonnybass your photo makes the colour look very tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 It’s a great colour, the neck is a little chunky but the sound and feel are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
