I think he was answering your question by saying the 4s are 19mm - making the 5s 17.5mm.

 

Haven't played or seen one, but very few of these styles of basses would have the wider 19mm spacing. Mainly left to more modern basses like MTD and certain I Ibanez models.

Thanks for conformation. I did think that was the case as Sire seem to have followed the Stingray theme and I imagine most people considering these would be looking for similarities. In regard to 19mm with a MM pup Lakland 55-02's and Sandberg VM5's have that covered ( I've owned both) but way more expensive than Sires! TBH the QC issues shown in this thread is an unexpected disappointment!

I wouldn't read too much into it - there's always a bias towards the negative in reporting.  No-one ever seems to mention the fact that mine arrived pristine and in perfect working order.  Did I mention, for balance, that mine arrived in excellent condition, fit and finish?  The only "issues" I had were my dislike of the stock knobs and my ham-fisted exploration of the internals pulling the connector off the bass pot - both "me" problems.
