Got this little number. Most know how good these basses are. Way beyond there price.

Sire V7 Vintage. I havent played a 4 string for a few years, so this is a joy to play. I had the 5 string version but in tobacco. A little too heavy for me.

Its been upgraded with a HipShot bridge and Nordstrand NJ4 single coils. The stock pickups sounded good anyway, but the Nordy's have a bit more warmth and punch, and the highs are more subtle. (imo)

So much power on tap, its just a beast of a 4 string. Ive owned alot of Jazz basses, and i would say this is the best tonally. It just growls big time.

It has some dings and knocks, needs some foam under the pickups. Does it bother me. Nope.

So great to be playing again. :D

Happy days! Didn't realise these were routed so cleanly (i.e. not a big old chunk out the body) so you can remove the scratchplate. If I wasn't tempted before I am now.....
[/quote] Well there isnt a route as such, but the front pickup routing is not as snug as the back pickup. Was the same on the 5 string. Just to let you know.
