JohnDaBass Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well these look interesting. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/04/25/sire-announces-the-u5-passive-short-scale-bass/ Seem to be a nice alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Those DO look nice. Hope they introduce a medium scale at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4stringz Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Nice. Matching headstock on the mint one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I wish they had stuck to the regular shape with rounded edges. Not a fan of the angular body edges with bindings. I also wonder what happened to their Mustang plans from some time ago and how it changed to a shortscale Jazz all of a sudden 😄 (screenshot is from 19th of March 2019) Edited April 27, 2020 by LeftyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I wish these were available now... The eldest is taking up bass. Would make choosing a bass for him much easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
