I just played one of those during my visit to Tulsa when my host/friend brought me to the local Guitar Center, ​@@OMARA.OFFICIAL. I cannot say that I do not know what you’re talking about. If I were in the market for another instrument, specifically a 5-string bass, I would’ve walked out holding that Jackson.

Sounds great. Nice tone and playing.

After pondering on getting a new bass for a while, I finally did it after watching many videos and reviews. I have the green version in the 4 string format and love it ! To be honest, the feel of the neck is worth it. More expensive than the Squier's and the like, but definitely worth it IMHO. In this case, inexpensive does not mean cheap and inexpensive does not mean lacklustre quality. Bravo Sire !

I have a P5 & an M5. Fantastic basses. The necks are incredible & they sound great, stay in tune well, they’re not ridiculously heavy.

I really like this bass. The red finish is my favorite. Sounds just like a P bass should.

Bruh, honestly is the best policy! Thank you giving the Sire it's due. Coming from an endorse of MTD your opinion is very well received and respected. Thanks again for your honesty, honestly 👏.

Great video Chuck! Thanks for the info. All my best to you.

love the video & content i just picked up the Sire P5 in that mint finish its great and ive been loving it! thanks for your insight and sharing your opinion! keep jammin!

I have a P 5 four string. I absolutely love it. It compares to a lot of my more expensive P style basses.

I really like this style of review. Thumbs up

I have own V5 and i am impressed by his quality, the neck and fingerboard are impressive, basses that could perfectly triple its price!

Thank you for guiding me here, Chuck. Your assessment of the P5 reminds me of my own explorations with a Squier Vintage Modified Bass Six. As an aside, I’m digging the examples of yourself with Take Five playing your bass and singing together. I can do that also, and people frequently say it’s next to impossible to accomplish. To be sure, when you say “chutzpah”, the ‘c’ should be silent.

I have heard great things about the Sire Marcus Miller P5 Basses. Very decent Alder body. Its as good as anything that was played in the 1960's! I did look at them, just a little wide for my smaller hands. A Fender jazz, with full electircs, £2000 UK. I am priced out by the big boys An ibanze 600E, full electrics, £700. Very decent bass at that price. Delighted! Even money left over for new Gotho tuners, bone nut, new strings, new gig bag. Cheaper does not mean rubbish!

That sire sounds really good!😲

Those Marcus basses really kick ass

Got my P5 5 string recently. It´s my main bass now. I have a P7 and a V7 that I love too, but the P7 has gloss neck and the V7 has satin finish wich I prefer like you. I like the P-bass tone the most, so when the P5 came out with satin neck, I had to have it and boy I´m happy with it!

I loved this video! I play a Fender American Pro II 5 string Precision in a very similar kind of cover band. As a matter of fact most of your sound examples are songs that my band also plays, so this gave me a really good idea of what to expect from the Sire. I think you just sold me a bass. Thanks

I own one....love it

I dont think you can go wrong for the money. As long as you get one thats not to heavy as weights vary. Liked the dirty tone. Think its a winner. Im debating a 4 string fretless same model. Chuck always plays tastefully and gives an honest review.

I have this bass in a 4 string pups are weak treble pot harsh Feels good to play

I have a P5R, and love it. I own a Fender, Sire, and Squier. All are super comfortable, really well made, and more than professional grade for use in either the studio or on-stage. Only differences from stock are that I put a Radioshop (60s) Bass pickup into my Sire, and I upgraded the tuning keys and put a Fralin hum cancelling split coil I to my Squier 50s P Bass.

Lol we ran my bass through the wiretap so the signal you hear is not what they hear. It is unaffected so FOH mix to each persons IEM or wedge was to their liking. All you’re hearing is the bass signal from the wire tap so we can show you an unprocessed tone that isn’t colored or shaped by the mix for the room. Kind of nice what technology can provide 😂 I’m sure my mates have had enough of me after all these years tho you’re right about that.

Why wouldn't it? That feels like underestimating that excellent instrument.

I’m assuming you mean the B for the 5th string… or did you mean the G? I use the B string Only on a couple songs for this band. I don’t see a need to use the B and transpose if it doesn’t call for it. Songs like All Mixed up by 311, Waterfalls by TLC, and a few others called for the B and I use it then. I use the G same way. If the song calls for it I use it 😂

Based off what? HB is an exception because there are no other basses in that price point to my knowledge. Sire is definitely budget as it is still have the cost of a Mexican fender and just as good if not better than one and roughly equal to slightly more than a Squier. That feels like it hits the “Budget Bass” category.

@TheBassChannel

6 ай бұрын

500 Euro right now is about 550 USD, and that is insanely cheap for a pro gigging instrument. I personally believe there are lots of decent basses under $1000 US, but I also think most people would say $1000-1500 is the expected low price range for professional gigging basses. What is your expectation? There is a reason we geek out a little when basses under 1k are great, and geek out a lot when basses under 500 are great.
