Of all the bass channels I listen to I always look forward to anything Lee puts out. He is my favorite test drive musician out there, super chap with skills to match!

This was a proper review and description with just enough color commentary. Real good playing, Btw! Good playing, good demonstration.

I’ve been eyeing a P7 for a while and now there’s a new one to consider. Sounds great!

Love Lee, excellent bassist and talk straight to the point ❤️

Boosting the preamp and cutting the treble sounds amazing thanks for the tip!

The world needs more P and J Basses. 🎉 Happy new Bass 2023

Great demo video. Those basses sound fantastic.

Nice one! Sire basses are really awesome I have the U5.

Great demo! I fought my Fender hangups for years, and finally got a Sire P8 in tobacco sunburst about a month ago. I can't say enough positive things about it. It's an all-around better instrument than the Fender American Ultra I bought and sold within 6 months earlier this year, at less than half the price!

Well done man. I love your playing. Those instruments are the most useful looking/sounding out there.

Great video as always - I've got a Sire M2 in my studio for noodling the odd time, very underrated instrument. Would love to see you guys reviewing the Markbass GV4/GV5 basses too and seeing how they compare. And Happy New Year to all at Andertons!

Id love to see and hear a sire v7/v8 and markbass gloxy comparison too!

It's jaw dropping just how cool this guy is

They sound great!

Gosh jee whiz love your playing Bro!

Love a bit of Lee bass wizardry!

I love my v7 but that is a gorgeous instrument

Sire made the bridge like the Marcus Miller signature fender. It looks an sound like the bad ass fender bridge.

I know the 5 string V8 has a 9.5 fingerboard radius how low can you set the action without buzz?

Seems like everything you'd want in a J or PJ, with passive and active modes.

I have V7 latest Gen and looking into getting V8, 4 strings. Not sure if it's worth getting V8. I do love my V7.

Can y'all do/Have y'all done a video on the Sire passive series basses? ✌️

I own a Lakland Skyline deluxe 55-02, an Ibanez SR500 and a Sire V7 2nd gen, ash body. I enjoy playing all my basses, each has pros, and a few cons, though I would be hard pressed to find a con where the Sire is concerned. The headstock has never bothered me. If i could only have 1 out of the 3 I own, it’s the Sire without question.

Those basses are where it's at!

How does the V8 compare to the EBMM Stingray Special in regards to feel, playability, tone, etc? I was listening to a YT video in which there was a V7 being played with a guitar in a guitar focused video. The V7's preamp seemed to have a noticeably deeper sound as compared to the Stingray. I currently own an Stingray Special. Unfortunately, I have no access to Sire basses. I would have to order one and have it shipped to me so i could try it. I live in a dead zone whn it comes to gear. Thanks for any feedback!

Is the bridge pickup on the P bass in passive mode also noiseless? And how about the two J pickups on the V8 (when used separately)?

nice intro fam

You guys truly rock... I think of you as the Sweetwater Sound of Europe, and that is a GREAT compliment! :-) I've purchased a Sire H7 and an L7V, and am about to order a P8, and your videos have been a huge help in my making these selections... THANK YOU!

I own an M5 and a V5. Is the P8 neck thickness like the M5 or thicker like the V5?

Esses Baixos são top demais

Wonder why they both have different knobs. The knobs on the P looks more sturdy.

Love that tobacco burst finish.

Hi there Very nice demo Can you share please the weight of this new v8 Thanks for sharing S.V

Ciao! C’è neck drive? Il basso è bilanciato?

We’re you playing in passive or active mode…?

Where have you been for 2 years!? I am playing the same bass, but still playing with the pre amp. 😡 2:00, I'm ready!!

Shoot... any bass would sound magnificent in this guys hands

Awesome video! Any chance of including slap tones in these demos?

My only real complaints with my Sire basses is the hum when you select anything but the middle indent of the PUP selector. Also, really wish there was two more frets so I can easily touch a high E on the G string. I have this exact V8 and I don't play any of my other basses anymore and I own 12 others. I plan on getting the P8 (white) this summer. It's already on order.

Is it necessary to have the preamp batteries installed in order to run it through an amp?

@nickbakker2200

8 ай бұрын

They have a toggle to switch between active and passive. In the latter case you won't need a battery to run it through an amp, but you can't use the on-board EQ and it has a little less output. But perfectly good to play it passive as well if need be.

Just hope the new series is without warped necks, before you could get one with a warped neck sadly, it get's replaced but it should be a nono in these basses, enough Fenders going around with that. And how about the sticky knob's in this series.

Can somebody tell the name of the song at 7:11, plz

According to Sire’s website, it replaces the V7 swamp ash, not the V7 Vintage. The standard V7 is only available in alder now. They did move the pickups from the 60s to 70s position like the Vintage. The V7 Vintage still appears to be available in both alder and ash.

The bridge pick up sounds like a cockroach without some lo end added to it!!

Different pickups. I have both. P8 is brighter. M7 still can growl, just less bright. Both are slap machines.

the P sounds more organic sounding than the V

What happened to Nathan?

Poor old Lee, dude needs a co-host…

Depends on the type of wood used for the body and maybe they changed something in the pick ups.

Hope this is not going to be a regular occurrence.. just wondering where Mr.King is. And what about the groovy girl. Hope that you are keeping everything professional over there. lol.

Groovy, so sick of all this rock/metal/punk bass crap. Nothing against Cici, the genre just sounds like audial vomit spew to my ears. Please, more Lee and his tasteful jazz bass groovy jams! And I miss Nathan and the combined energy between the two

@@kevindesouza4076 agreed, nothing but respect for Cici as she is very clearly a talented musician, just personally think it would be great to see more groovy bass jams. Same goes for Nathan and yes I also see a level of mastery with Lee’s playing, don’t doubt at all that all can hold it down in any genre and Lee particularly shows that alot in the videos. My main point is that while metal/rock certainly have lots of fans I wish the channel would remember that the bass also has alot of players that appreciate the groovy stuff more.

again, no 5-string version yet... T_T

No Cici No thumbs up
