kevham Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Pending a new family photo, here are the latest additions. A 2022 Fender Player Plus (white) and a 2021 Fender Player (black). The black one has an aftermarket pickguard and the hi mass bridge. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGBass Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Very nice pair of basses. I've noticed a few lefty player plus models showing up for sale now and in several different finishes. The light finish looks more cream ( i think it call Pearl) than the polar white of the standard bass. Suits the torte pickguard better imho.The Player maple necks are really nicely finished on these basses and the satin back is smooth and fast. The slim profile is also easy on the hand.

Can you tell me where you got the replacement pickguard from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Black on black with maple is such a classic combo! I love both, but to me the black one stands out. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry John I don't know - it came with the bass. It's not the best fit though. I've previously had pickguards made using the original as a template by Jack's Instruments in Manchester. Did a really good job. Not sure if he still does it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the neck looks great. It's definitely one of the best things about Sire basses (along with the price!) I've had 3 Sires. A first gen V7 (really nice except for the tuner that fell to bits), a D5 that has the best feeling neck I've ever had and a U5 which had to go back because the fret edges were so poor. I still have the D5 - it's a lovely thing to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonin-in-the boneyard Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yeah they are quality necks I've had a few including a first gen and the tuners aren't the best but a lot better on the 2nd gen This one is really light for a five string I was going to wait and see if they are making the v8s in Lefty as they look Good But the finish on this one got me in the end 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was the top of the range it had the flame top and ebony board but when the V7 second generation got ebony boards too I think nobody bothered with them. The maple top makes it look very 90's to me at least. With all the new models out I don't think they've bothered with it anymore and probably also why they were such a good price for the last year.

kevham Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Spent an hour fitting a set of Hipshots to my Player Precision and put some Roto flats on that I had lying about. Also got the black Aerodyne out for a comparison photo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
