What's to say about Sire basses ?

 

Ridiculous value for money great build quality ace versatile preamp. This one is no exception plays really nicely growls thumps and does all the active jazz noises. Just restrung with DR High Beams.

 

While shop to UK Mainland in a proper box included in the price.

 

Im loath to say the bass is mint as I'm sure if you spent ages with a magnifying glass you could find something so let's outstanding condition and priced to sell.

Sire Marcus Miller V7 basses sound better and play smoother than ever before in the 2nd Gen range. The flagship V7 has been kitted out with two advanced single coil pickups bearing a full set of EQ controls, allowing you to mould your perfect personalised tone. Other upgrades can be found made to the neck and fretboard for a new, premium feel.

 

Version 2 Updated

 

The V7 Updated model boasts an improved design: the square block saddles have been switched out for more comfortable round block saddles.

New Features

 

The focus of the Version 2 upgrade has been to improve the overall sound quality and playing comfort of the V7. Marcus Miller worked alongside Sire to redesign the pickups with stronger magnets and coils to deliver a cleaner, deeper tonal palette. Sire have also overhauled the neck design. The V7 now features an extremely comfortable rolled edge fretboard, which you'd usually only find on high-end basses.

Body and Neck

 

The V7 Vintage has either an alder body that adds darker tones and warmth, or a swamp ash body which is known for its brightness. The hard maple neck offers excellent stability and is topped with a classy maple fingerboard, standard on all V7 Vintage basses.

History of Sire Marcus Miller Basses

 

Sire have rightfully earned massive praise for their bass range. They've worked with world-renowned jazz and funk bassist Marcus Miller to make instruments that are affordable but far exceed their price point in terms of feel, style and above all, sound. How do they do this? Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory where their basses are built. This means cheaper production and full control over the quality of instrument from start to finish.

Sire instruments are also doing the world a bit of good by taking a share of the corporate profits and giving back to society. They founded schools in Cambodia and Laos to teach children’s music lessons.

Beautiful bass. Love the colour. If I was on the other side of the pond I'd love this.

[lee650]

Ahh I'd love this, but a recent vet bill wiped out my cash😭

Any trades considered?

Ahh, I do have one, but ive just got it,and it's the reason I'd like another.

[Stealth]

Can’t believe this is still here 

[Bluescaster]

Seriously,I'm baffled too how this is still not snapped up. There's a guy here in Ireland that has the exact same model for sale on a site for aprox £500. I'm seriously considering taking a cheap flight over to purchase.
