Frank Blank Posted Friday at 13:57 Posted Friday at 13:57 (edited) Hmmm, needs a set up (nothing drastic, action is a bit high, fret ends need smoothing down) but otherwise I can't find a fault. Perfect service/delivery from Andertons/DHL, I shall let you know how it is after a visit to Guitar Technical Services... Edited Friday at 13:58 by Frank Blank 9 Quote
ezbass Posted Friday at 14:12 Posted Friday at 14:12 From the many reports on BC, Sire fret ends are normally as smooth as silk. Plainly, this is not always the case . Quote

Perhaps these Godin-alikes come from a different factory. However, at at least £1k less than an actual Godin, it's a small price to pay. 1 Quote

It’s certainly several tonnes lighter. 3 Quote

velvetkevorkian Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Looks very nice, but it has triggered one of my pettier pet hates - any product manager who specs a 4 string with the number 5 in the model name needs their ass kicked. 3 Quote

The Sire was £2,180 less than the current price for a new Godin A4 Ultra. The Godin was a lovely sounding bass but it was way too big and heavy for me. Quote

I think I know which one you're definitely keeping from our chat early in the year... Edited 1 hour ago by SpondonBassed Quote
