isteen Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sire made a [url="https://youtu.be/yIiyz0Cfvdk"]vintage[/url] version of the V7 jazz bass. Different picks up position, slimmer neck - and don't the head stock look a bit different too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Got my eye on one of those when available on Thomann. Ash body maple neck 5 stringer to compliment my other one. Believe they have steel bridge too instead of brass. Should be a brighter tone than the original V7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I also think they have different pick ups, and the bridge pick up has been moved a bit towards the neck for a warmer/vintage tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isteen Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I am actually considering getting one of each, and returning one of the two - keeping the favorite one Edited July 16, 2016 by isteen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks that way when comparing the models on the website & I think I read that somewhere too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
