    I didnt know about this Sire model. Looks great.

    Like the spalted maple finish

    I think a gold guard just lifts the look of most P basses. I have one on mine.

    Is the current colour choice same as original finish?
  7. sblueplanet
    They do have a reputation for being outstanding fretless-wise.
  8. sblueplanet
    How is the balance and weight? Is it short scale?

    Spotted that Dusty Hill model too. The hardware a bit too reliced for my liking. That HB-50 looks cool for the price.

    +1 for the ‘buy to try’ approach. Bought many basses online that would never appear in my nearby guitar stores. Some I keep for a while, others get moved on much quicker, but Ive learned a lot about neck profiles, pickup placement, body wood tone and scale length.

    Nice colour combo

    Cool. Wish I had the talent.

    Thats a lovely refin. Bass looks great.

    I nearly fell off the sofa seeing this one. Superb

    That’s a really cool short scale. Do they offer these basses in lefty by any chance? I would quite fancy one of these in a fretless version.

    I guess I don’t want to limit the tone too much as I play a bit of funk with my fingers, some thumb-style playing like Sting would do, using flatwounds, but also like to get that punk tone using a plectrum in the studio. i do have a few basses but I have seriously cut right down to one short-scale PJ configuration, the medium scale precision and a Kala U bass.

    Great colour combo

    I just picked up a 32” medium scale P bass and want to beef up the sound. Hoping that a replacement pup is straightforward and will fit ok, I am unsure which sort of pickup to go for. The Geezer Butler passive one with solderless connections is tempting but so is the SD SPB-1 or 3 with the fatter pole pieces. Any fellow Basschatters using any of these and feel like leaving an opinion on tone, value etc.

    Exactly the same as mine. I played it recently with a drummer and horn player at high volume and it held its own no problem. I find if you want a more realistic upright tone, pluck just as the neck joins the body.

    Im a lefty but when I played one of these when they came out I was seriously tempted to use it upside down. Liking the Ampeg micro rig. Used to own one of those.
  22. sblueplanet
    That’s a lovely colour combo

    Here’s the anodised one fitted.

    Decided to fit the gold one as it changes the look of the bass depending on the light.
