Sire V5 5 String £350 Sale Pending - *SOLD* £400 Wallasey, Merseyside

[Steve A]

Price reduction - now a more realistic £350.

 

Moving on my Sire V5 5 string bass in natural.

 

Alder body, roasted maple neck, maple fingerboard with black blocks and binding and in excellent condition. Well balanced on the strap.

 

The colour is best represented in the first few photos.

 

I've owned this bass from new, bought in October 2021.

 

The bass is an all passive alternative to the active Marcus Miller models.

 

Nut width 48mm/1.8”

 

Weight: 4.49kg/9.9lb

 

Full specs here https://sire-usa.com/products/sire-marcus-miller-v5?variant=33439179145354

 

Here's an example of how it sounds. Excuse the scruffy playing... 

 

 

 

Collection from Wirral or meet up a reasonable distance from Wirral/Liverpool. The bass didn't come with a case but I can ship it in an old Protection Racket case (heavy duty and fleecey lined). The case itself has a broken zip so you'd probably want to bin it on receipt. More than good enough to send via courier.

 

Will courier at buyer's arrangement/cost.

 

Message me for payment details. 

 

Thanks!

He’s just wondering what I’ll replace it with. ‘Bonios! Let it be Bonios!!’

Thought he was the singer with U2?

Yeah, Ziggy was hoping he'd pop round but he never showed up. Probably on account of there being no street names where we live 😉

Starts considering which kidney to sell...

 

Such a shame I'm tapped out at the moment as I'd love this (plus, as a West Kirby native, it'd be good to have a trip back to the Wirral to see how much more of it is covered by retirement flats...). Come on, the lottery win! GLWTS!

How much does the dog weigh?

 

Any chance of shipping? 

 

 

 

(Lovely looking bass. I'm generally not a big fan of jazz basses but that's a real looker)

The dog is ruffly 20kg.

 

As mentioned above…

 

The bass didn't come with a case but I can ship it in an old Protection Racket case (heavy duty and fleecey lined). The case itself has a broken zip so you'd probably want to bin it on receipt. More than good enough to send via courier.

 

Will courier at buyer's arrangement/cost.

 

 

Thanks,
