Sire V7 1st Gen - *SOLD* £275 Bristol

[ern500evo]

Sire V7 in vintage white with tort pickguard and rosewood fretboard. These are fab basses for the price point, and the only reason I’m selling it is I’ve just bought a 2nd generation Vintage model, because I’m shallow and prefer maple necks. It’s hardly been out of the house to be honest. It was always my bass for home rehearsing and noodling, until recently when I started to use it for gigs, and liked it so much that I ordered a newer model. The 18v preamp is fantastic, with cut and boost for bass, mids and treble, with the mids being a stacked pot for sweepable mid frequency. You can of course just flick it into passive mode and just use the master volume and tone and pick up pan. The bass has green luminlay fret markers, professionally fitted by Simon Bamber at Sico setups. I only had this done as I ordered too much material for my Warwick, so got him to use the rest to do this bass at the same time. Bit overkill for a bass that was meant for home, but at least I didn’t waste the excess luminlay tube! I don’t have the charging torch, but any of the small key ring UV torches you can find on eBay or Amazon will charge the dots. It’s in really good condition, apart from some scratches on the control plate, around the bass pot. The bass was like it when it arrived brand new, and I never bothered sending it back. All in all, it’s a very nice active jazz for not a lot of money. It has an array of tones on offer and it plays really well. Currently strung with a fairly new set of Ernie Ball Hybrid slinky steels 45-105. I’ve had to take a bit of a stab at the price, based on what I could find for sale online, as I genuinely can’t remember how much I paid for it new. Collection/meet up preferred, but I can box it up if you care to arrange your own courier. No trades on this one thanks, as i’m just recouping some of what I just paid for the gen 2 V7. 
Thanks
