Sire V5 Mods

[Pirellithecat]

Hi, 
Been gigging with my Sire V5 24 fretter recently. 
It's definitely  a great gigging machine - the neck and the "geography" of the fretboard (number of frets/accessibility and dimensions) make it really easy to get around effortlessly.
However, the bridge is very "sharp" and it digs into my hand when playing over it - very uncomfortable.  And (could be a "sticky" nut slot) the tuners don't seem to be great at getting quick and precise tuning on the fly.  I'd also prefer a Master Tone and blend arrangement for the tone controls.

So, I'd be very interested in hearing how'if people have modded these basses (or V/P 5's in general), in terms of Bridge Upgrades/Tuner Upgrades/Contols Upgrades.

Of course I could just trade it for a P/V7, but  I'd still have the bridge issue I think ... unless I go for the P8 and financially the upgrades wouldn't be great value for money.   But I'd prefer to "bespoke" a bass like this and keep it for ever (🤣) than getting something else which is "close but no Cigar" !!! 
I guess I could listen to Lobster, but would welcome thought on here!

On my V7 I used a Gotoh404, this has appropriately aligned string through holes but you do need to drill new mounting holes for it. Metal control knobs are also a nice upgrade, generic AliExpress ones are fine.
