Fantastic bass

Kevin Lindsay 26.08.2022

The roasted maple neck of this instrument is a delight. The rolled edges make the neck feel incredibly comfortable in the fretting hand.
The construction is really solid, and the strings ring out in all positions.
The truss rod is easy to adjust, thanks to the adjustment notch at the body end of the neck / body joints.
I've received loads of complements regarding the sound from audience members, and band members.
Sire basses are without a doubt the best valentines instruments on the market right now. I have bought three different Sire basses in the past year, and that are all great instruments.

This is a very good bass

Bjorn Touran 14.06.2024

I wanted another ‘budget’ P bass with roundwounds as I have one with flats. So as I know Sire’s quality already I pulled the trigger on this bass.
My thoughts: lovely neck, slim and smooth,
Just a solid nice instrument, nothing spectacular but nothing annoying, a very good bass.
The red is slightly too red for my liking ( not a fiesta red a la Fender) but that’s just me being fussy. Do I want to play it when I see it on the stand? Absolutely.
I changed the split pickups to some Bill Lawrence USA jobs but they weren’t hugely different to the stock ones.
If you’re considering it, I can recommend. It’s a really nice bass and I’ve recorded some professionally release tracks with it. However I’ve just bought a HB jazz bass for less money which is arguably as good if not a better play. (See my other review).
This is lighter in weight than the HB though which may sway some players.
Thomann would be advised to state the weight of instruments in the tech specs.
Having said that I frigging love this shop, and thank god I don’t live in their vicinity otherwise I’d be broke and divorced.

Stunned

Roman666 24.12.2024

Really ordered this without high expectations. I mostly play keys and guitar and had my beloved Fender P bass stolen a while ago.. After getting through my grief I wanted to find a more affordable alternative and I am absolutely stunned by the quality of this product for how little you pay for it... Wow! Thanks; this bass will keep my happy in my studio, hopefully for years to come. (Delivery as usual with Thomann very straightforward)

The bass is everything I hoped it to be and more, it came set up, with good strings, pretty much in TUNE, even tho it traveled over 2000 km and different weather and temperature conditions. I am very satisfied with it so far.

As for the delivery, It arived very smooth in 5 days of time, I feel like it might have ben even faster if it did not stay so much at border with Romania.
