madshadows Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Pulled the trigger on a SIRE M2 Version 2 four string bass guitar in a lovely transparent blue at the cost of 247 imperial units from Anderton's. It came well packaged and delivered by a nice man from DHL this morning. Lowered the action a touch and it's fantastic to play, a huge amount of different tones in the active mode (it has passive and active modes), excellent tuning stability and it looks stunning, fantastic maple fret board with lovely rolled edges.

dub_junkie Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Fantastic amount of bass for not a lot of money. I’m still to own a Sire but when I do this will be the one I go for first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However through my friend's huge old Ampeg you realise that this Bass is startlingly good for the money.

madshadows Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Well after having the bass for a few weeks a fault has developed, the active circuit had stopped working when I went to play the bass on Saturday. I thought maybe the batteries needed changing and got new ones yesterday but still no output when the bass is on active mode, passive mode is fine, a had quick look inside the cavity the houses the electrics but couldn't see any loose wires. Really bummed out but I have emailed Anderton's where I purchased it from and I am awaiting a reply ☹️ John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 To save time you could offer to take the bass to a local luthier and agree that they'll pay? If you have to ship the bass back now you probably won't get it or a new one back until after the apocalypse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
