There's something on here that I've decided I need in my life, so I'm having a cull to raise cash.

 

Last up is my wonderful Sire V7 vintage. Fretless 5 string, it's a V2 (with the rolled fingerboard) 
It's in a very classy white colour, with black fretlines on a maple board.

 

I bought this very recently as a 50th present to myself. The previous owner bought it from Andertons to use on a panto run, so it's as new. I did what i always do and think I'll get back into fretless, so buy a nice one, and I never use it. I do have current wrist issues, so I can't play for long periods of time, to shake the rust off my intonation.

 

I swapped out the original black pickguard for a parchment pearl, which looks very classy on white.

 

I'm not sure about the body. The original seller stated Alder, but I thought Ash, due to the weight, they did discontinue Ash in 2022, so it's likely Alder

 

Being the vintage, it has a laquered neck and a bound/ maple board and pickups in the 70s position (very cool bitey tone, perfect for "you can call me Al" slapping 😀 

 

This is a fantastic 5 string and much better than I intended to buy! It's a really versatile sound. This model is currently very hard to find.

 

I've no gigbag, but will be very well packed for transport.

 

I'm looking for £385 incl UK ONLY delivery.
