Andertons stocking the whole Sire range?

[MoJoKe]

A fretless PJ 5 for me when it is available...!

just to add to the building gas, scotts bass lessons has just done a comparison video between a sire jazz and a fender custom shop

its not what i thought and now i want a sire jazz

[timhiggins]

I got it right but I'm not sure I would have if I didn't have a v7 already...I presume Scott played the v7 passive ?

[CameronJ]

I got it right and I don't own one. I just assumed the sire would have a slightly fatter sound and was correct!

[Cato]

I'm really starting to thing that next years purchase might be a natural maple fingerboard v7 fretless.

My only reservation is the busy control lay out.

[CameronJ]

I know what you mean about the controls, but for me it would probably just be a set & forget scenario. So I can have an active (EQ'd) tone and a passive tone at the flick of a switch

I have to confess my battery's ran out ages ago and i have used it live and recorded with it passive ever since
i think i prefer the passive tone t.b.h. ...

dont be daunted by the pre amp though its much more straight forward than you would expect

I was hugely impressed with the one I tried out - didn't seem complex at all. I understood it as having a passive, vol/tone/pan set of knobs and an actlve, treble/mid/midsweep/bass set, right next to each other on the same bell plate... worked for me!

My only problem with the preamp is the sheer amount of cut/boost (specifically boost) on the bass control. The tiniest little movement plays havoc with your tone, there's far too much available. I'm half tempted to disconnect the pot and just solder a fixed resistor of the right value in its place.
Apart from that, I love everything about it.
