asingardenof Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Interesting with the V3 the preamp is listed as "no mid frequency" but there is a mid control. I assume this means no sweepable mids as there is with the Z7. Also crikey, that's some poor alignment going on there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some super attention to detail in the EBMM aping then 2 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Those prices must look enticing to those interested in getting a mid price bass. Can only increase Sire's market share. Edited January 25 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that confusing too. 5 minutes ago, Raslee said: Will they sound anything like a Ray’ though 😂 If the pickup is in the same position, it won’t be a million miles away tonally IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurroundedByManatees Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Looks like an obese Stingray. I don't think I'll be tempted to get one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanted to like these, my number 1 bass is a stingray, but I think there is something just not quite right. The Horn is too long, body too wide, pickguard too short and narrow, and that jazz pickup?!?! Also, no lefties listed which is odd for Sire. The 24 fret jazz however is really drawing me in.

warwickhunt Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 band EQ... no midrange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The specs appear to state that there's no 'mid frequency' selection, so it's a regular 3-band, bass/mid/treble, but you can't adjust the mid frequency like on the V7 for example. Simple, no? 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorshowbass Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Who wants a 42mm nut? Seriously. Apart from that and the after thought headstock, I kinda like the white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I feel the opposite, The 'Ray looks all wrong and the elongated top horn on the Sire will place the bass in a more playable position, and help with the balance. In my opinion the Stingray pickup is in an unusable position. However, if you consider the bass a percussion instrument, you may well disagree. I am going as I might have outstayed my welcome here..
