Mine was the Squier. I feel like I'm the only bassist for whom active electronics are a deal breaker. Unfortunately they're extremely common in mid/high-end basses and are now finding their way in lower-end ones, like that Sire which I'd otherwise buy right away.

@@aspyr5681 Right there with you, after owning this bass a year, there is zero character, it just sounds dull. The eq is trash and runs very hot, causing distortion when trying to change eq and play clean.

I liked the Ibanez a lot more than I expected to, same with the Danelectro. I love that hollow-sounding growl from Danelectro. Squier's my favorite overall because I'm a Jazz Bass guy.

Squire no doubt! that one sounded real nice! Great Job!

I've heard pretty good things about Harley Benton. Wanted to get an electric guitar from them, but after seeing that bass I might try one of each. Last time.I looked they carry a 4 string just like that.

Love the Sire! I've been considering one of their 5-string J basses. That said, the Squier sounds "like you" to me. Might be be the maple board played with a pick. One question: What's the lightest of all these basses? I would figure the Dano, but Ibanez basses are notoriously lightweight, too. Oh, and the Harley Benton has a pretty stunning look!

I need a Squire Vintage Modified in my life 😀 And a Sire... That Ibanez sounds really awesome too 😊

Cool demo, patrick. they all sounded pretty good. I personally like the Ibanez sr300e and the squire modified jazz bass the most. the danelectro bass is not too shabby. it sounded great with a pick. have you ever tried the yamaha bb basses? they sound totally awesome. \m/

I’ve got the Dano short scale with flats...AWESOME thumpy tone! IMHOP sounds best in the middle position. Bridge full vol/tone rolled back, neck vol rolled back/tone up-adj. to preference. 👍🏻👍🏻

Still can’t change my mind that the SR300E is one of the best ever just because they play so well.

I had a sire v7 for a while. 1 of the best basses I've played personally. I stupidly sold it and regretted it ever since. Luckily they are affordable enough to get another one eventually. I have a squier vintage modified pj now and it's very good especially for 300 bucks

Awesome playing bruh.

Nice Job.. Nice Tone by Squier!!!

I'm a guitar player who had a bass for a short while a long time ago and am looking to get back into it now. One thing I noticed with this is that all of them had some sort of buzzing or rattling except for the Ibanez. They all sounded good in their own ways but that was just something that stood out to me.

I kind've want the 59 actually, the longhorn is an umm, acquired taste.

If I made a list, the Jackson JS3V concert 5 string would be number 1. Next bass I'll be saving for is a 5 string Spector Legend.

other great basses under $500 are the hofner ignition and epiphone viola , have both and love them . from the many posts i've read violin basses fall into the " love 'em or hate 'em " category . also some just don't dig the feel of shortscale basses .

I was hoping you'd include the Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ. Hope you can do it justice and review it. Saludos de México!

I actually like Ibanezes normally, because they're great deals, if you get a well built one (I had one with a bad pot and a knob that kept falling off). But listening in this comparison, it just sounded a little flat. Obviously, that could be remedied with some EQ tweaking (or maybe it was in its super weak sounding coil tap mode). The Sire sounded probably the best to me, but the Harley was kinda interesting too.

I like the sire bass a lot but I personally prefer the sound of a jazz bass or j style bass. personally own the squier shown in this video ad would highly recommend it.

The Squier Jazz Bass is awesome..!!!!!!!!...100% the best

I'm torn( like a old sweater) between the Sire and the Squire. I was surprised by the sound of the Squier.

I like the Sire the best followed by the Squire and then the Ibanez. I agree that the Ibanez could've sounded cleaner. Great demo. What's your ranking, Mr. Hunter?

Wow..hard to think that the squier was the best sounding bass out of the bunch!

i got that 5 string harley benton from ebay and its it has terible plastic nut and its strings buzz like crazy on some frets and on open string tones. But its comfortable and some basic modding should fix the problems

CNC machine making great progress on the instrument but I like to keep it classic!!!

Sire won, but barely bc the Squier somehow sounded pretty amazing too. Guessing they've furthered their PU choice in a great way. My old 1st gen Vintage modified Jazz 6 years ago had no where near the growl/punch/classic Jazz tone. Wow, loved em both. The last bass had the worst tone and seem to lack personality. Probably an amazing candidate for pickup overhall!

What pick(s) are you using? It's a toss-up between the Sire and the Squier!
