We need more reviews like this. Gear demos have their place, but there is something to be said for just hearing what a man has to say.

Thank you!

Awesome review. In this price range it's one of the coolest basses I guess.

Thanks to your insightful review, I bought M7 4string last month. I am totally in love with this bass; It has virtually everything I need in terms of the tone; both pickup single tone for slap and pop, like jazz bass, neck pickup series for rock or motown sounds, like P bass, and many many more. Also it's easy to play thanks to the light weight and thin neck. Once again, thank you so much for your review, which convinced me to buy one, and you were absolutely right!

Right? I managed to pick up one for 400 bucks and I feel like I robbed the guy. It's a terrific instrument.

Awesome! Makes me want to go out and buy a bass to have around! Have really been wanting one to have around for recording. Seriously love appreciate your quality and no BS reviews.

Awesome video man!!! Nd you sound great 👍🏾🔥💯

superb, superb review of a very versatile, not to be underestimated bass! I'm about to give it a try in 2-3 weeks when the newest batch of Sire instruments comes to my nearest dealer in my country. I am almost sold, yeah, but I have my principles - try before you buy. I believe this bass shall pass my test. Soon. Thank you for the great video!

Nice! I'm a rock/metal guitarist thinking about getting a bass to expand my home studio a bit. This is really helpful info about the Sire line.

Thx for the Video! Awesome review! Greetings from Vienna.

I know I'm like 2 years late to the party and you'll likely never read this comment, but I'm scouring KZread for reviews of these basses and I'm glad I found yours. I might have to buy one tomorrow. Let's Dance at the end was extremely well done!

I opted for the M5 variant in transparent blue and it checks all the boxes. Picked it up off of Thomann USA for $677 with shipping. Goes for $800+ in the states. Great review! Love the finish on the M7s.

Great video

The guy can really play this machine and groove!

I ordered mine today and I got it for right at $1000. I'm excited and I can't wait to play it. This bass favors the aesthetics of the TRB1005. 👍

Just got mmy M5, swamp ash body in transparent blue/turquoise. Absolutely amazing. No issues with it at all.

Great review of a great instrument, and great playing ! What's not to like? Thank you :)

Really good review. I have the first generation V7 in alder and it’s incredible. I record and play live with it, recorded 3 tracks today. But I’m looking for a “modern” bass sound and the M7 seems to fit every need - including the jazz bass sound too. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to viewing your other videos!

I bought a V7 2nd gen. It was set up poorly and the neck had a trussrod issue. I received a new neck under warranty which was fine. But as much as I read about Sire basses being perfect out of the box. That absolutely was not my experience.

Not at all. Although I haven't gigged with it so I can't comment on how road worthy it is. I have an arsenal of basses. A Roscoe, US Jazz Basses, vintage basses, custom basses...when I record bass, I grab this bass 9 times out of 10. It's comfortable and super versatile.

@@jacskonflow - Sure! If you take care of it, I don't see why it wouldn't last. If you're gigging and playing a lot, I would invest in a hardshell case or a really good bag (like a Mono) for protection. If it were my main bass, the only thing I would do is upgrade the tuners. Not that I've had problems with tuners, but it seems that they could be better haha. But that's a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade. For the money, it's a fantastic bass.

Hi, i bought this bass and i love it, but I don't know if i have a issue with my knobs. If i try to rotate the knobs with ring (Mid EQ/Mid Boost or Main Tone/Main Volume) they moves together. Then i need to use two hands to regulate individually. Is this a common issue?

@thelowaction9573

4 жыл бұрын

It's a common issue with stacked knobs. There is a small set screw on the bottom rings. If you loosen, remove the knobs, and check that the pot shaft isn't bent. If it's bent, you may have to replace the pot. If not, you can usually reset the knobs and loosen them up a bit. That should solve the problem.

@@Manu9780 - I'm glad it worked for you! I don't have any suggestions. Whatever knobs you think would look best with your bass. Just so you're aware. The bottom shaft is 8mm and the upper shaft is 6mm. The lower knob is designed for a set screw. The upper knob is a press-on type. There are stacked sets available that fit these. I saw a person on Reddit that used basic black aluminum knobs and it looked beautiful.

I bought a M7 from Thomman and am very disappointed. Fret ends are sharp and no effort was made to round them at all. I ordered a 6 string harley benton at the same time and it has better fret finishing. I will need to do a complete set up and fret dress, round and polish

@ViTAR30

4 ай бұрын

Fret dress required on mine too, it could happen depending how much time went from production to sale and how it was stored for a long time. I believe if it's fresh, it could be ok out of the box, if it took time, wood is a living thing that can shrink a tiny bit and frets can get out a tiny bit for edges to become sharp.

How come no one reviewing these 5 string basses ever plays the B string for more than 2 seconds?

The passive demo sounded great. But dude! You explained the preamp and didn't demo it?! Even briefly? What a major letdown after an otherwise great review

Can all due respect, it makes no sense to review a five-string and not even touch the b.
