Sire v7 versatility proven

[Geek99]

The battery went flat (my fault) and I wanted to check active mode worked after putting new batteries in 

 

I knew that the passive mode does a fairly good jazz bass sound but switching to active with it’s totally separate tone control (para mid eq plus treble plus bass) you can get a fairly good p bass tone. 
the levels are about the same, so I can switch the two sounds instantly using the active switch 

and it’s a 5

Why take two basses when you only need one?

A rationalist is a person or philosopher who believes that reason is the primary source of knowledge and the best test for truth, rather than emotion or sensory experience.

If @ghostwheel you had experienced my moment of joy at the discovery of two iconic bass sounds in one nice instrument you would not call me a rationalist 

 

These are my settings, switch set to passive, three knobs to right are the active control (my p bass approximation) 

hope this helps someone 

two knobs to left are jazz bass approximation (tone is stacked on volume)

Sounds ideal as an all in one bass. Just need another one as backup……

 

But seriously it sounds great, ideal for a covers band and for studio work having both sounds at your fingertips.
