LTD😊

Sterling are far too expensive now. A Ray35 should be 1000 euros, not 1500

Those strings were old when you put the CSx’s in weren’t they? 😊

The best thing about a Sire bass is the rolled edges, those necks feel so good.

Same issue as Squier. For some, having the real "Telecaster" or "Stingray" name on it carries a lot of weight. A Sire T7 might play better, but it's not a Telecaster!

Excuse me for asking bro, even though I'm 4 years late, how come the mmtw-x pickup isn't there on the website?

Bought the five string version when they first came out, sounded really good until the preamp stopped working. Replaced it with Bartolini electronics and pick-ups. Sounds just a good as my more expensive basses.

Are you still preferring the Joyo Tidal Wave over this?

Dingwalls are so great but I cant afford a Porsche lol

just bought this!!!!

I just ordered the Stealth 4 Pro EX on Reverb (B stock) for fuckin $750. Lets not forget that this particular 4 string bass has a 35" scale and BEAD string setup. 5 string tonal capabilities in a 4 string, baby. I cant wait to get it.

So I can buy two of the regular models and get one tuned to BEAD and one tuned Standard is what your telling me and still be under the pro model price 😂

Isn't the Blend dial right there on the panel?

Sire sounds incredible.... I really liked the Sire Vintage line but every time I see that head stock shape I walk away.

Sire basses are neck heavy. I can bet a crate of beer, that Z series will neck dive as fuck. In sitting position even more. Neck dive = shitty bass. Prove me wrong.

Sire says, HOLD MY BEER 😂

Go for blackstar unity 500 i was amazed by the features 😊 OD,fuzz,dist Chorus+octave Compressor Flat,modern, classic

They can do a lot of things l, buit probably being release with firmware updates. FX section could be improved.

This is assuming the sound guy doesn't make your bass sound like crap and ignore you when you tell him that is the case. True, even if you do have an amp, the sound guy can still make you sound like crap. But at least if you have an amp next to you, you can sound good to yourself, and if you sound good to yourself, you will play better. That said, I do have a Genzler DI/Preamp. But I show up at a gig with only that if I'm confident the soundman knows what he is doing. If not, I'm going to bring my GK combo amp (with a built-in DI). In the band I generally play with, I have direct control over the sound system (I'm pretty much the soundman)--that is when I bring just the preamp/DI. I also play guitar and I tend to use just a pre/effects unit (Tech 21) and that sounds great straight through the PA system. But it seems to me that it is easier to screw the bass sound up if it is going direct (depending on the soundman's competence). As for in-ears, I've never heard my bass sound good through in ears. Just do not like the sound. Plus it's like sitting at home playing along to MP3s. So I at least need a good floor monitor if I'm going direct. For recording, I never use an amp. It's always either the Genzler Pre or plugins on the recording software.

Viking Bass God. 👍

After few years sire monopoly in this market note it down

I bought two GJazz basses, and for the price I have no complaints. After setup, they both play quite well. Just ordered this same bass, as I wanted a P style with a maple board. Thanks for the video!

I will personally never buy a sire because I can’t stand that they all say MARCUS MILLER across the headstock. Just put a sire logo. Not the obnoxious silver Marcus miller in that boring font.

Subbed. I also have a glarry and it kicks ass. Nice playing.

DO NOT BUY the red AP-5. As an unhappy owner of one, I can confirm this issue. The BEA strings are not centered along the upper split coil pickup, which affects the sound of the B string. It's bad; you can see this centering issue across multiple listings online on Reverb. Sweetwater had a lot of these since March but either they sold them all or they delisted them. The blue and black AP-5s look fine however, and do have a centered BEA string along the upper split coil pickup. The red one has a brushed black chrome pickup cover and a sunken design into a metal pickguard (unlike the black and blue one) that causes this bad production process for whatever reason. It's bad and I'll be contacting ESP about it.

Those colors are not great

Insteresting. I’d love to try one of these out. I’m seeing a trend in going passive with the latest Musicmans (SB14, Joe Dart and Pete Wentz signatures and now these).

The Sire Z series is Zerious.

Nice. I just got one too.

Nice video! HAve you compared that Sansamp to your Joyo Tidal Wave?

Thx. I needed this type comparison. Relentless can get close enuff to vintage, but has more crank for harder stuff.

This is my plan with the monomyth and double thruster which will both arrive today. Results could be similar, thanks for this video.

Well speaker and amp swap ability. No body. talks about it but speakers have a lot to do with tone. In addition someone may like the boss bass amp sound and another amp but not have the space or money. You can stack multiple amps on top of your cab you cant do thst with an all in one

Korina body and roated maple neck tho

Great set up

Killer sound buddy. I am a huge fan of distortion on bass

I have a chance to buy a Stiletto 4 (pre EMG upgrade) for 400 bucks. Thoughts, anyone?

Someone is trying to sell me a used Stiletto 4. Four hundred dollars & I have until tonight to decide.

Whats your opinion on the euro cst please im thinking on buying that one

They forgot also make the Wah pedal switchable with the GAFC. You can turn the FX loop on and of with the switcher but no the Wah. WTF Boss!!

Do you find the Joyo less “farty” than the Sansamp VTDi for the low B?

Weird, the tidal wave is like 65 usd where I'm from(south east asia). The monomyth is the same price too

you woke up your cat

GFS makes some good stuff but they kill you on shipping.

very yummy

Too bad their headstocks are hideous and can only make decent copies of other brands. Admittingly some of the specs are really good. Too bad it's almost August though and don't seem to be available.

After 20 years or so my Sansamp is finally dying. I'm considering one of these or the Monomyth. I'm leaning more towards the Monomyth because it seems to be more versatile. Stories of QC issues have made me hesitate.

I have this bass and it feels so nice. I have it up for sale but not sure if I should

Having owned a Sire V7 and own a USA Stingray 5HH, the Stingray is far easier to dial in different pickups with the 5 way switch including single coil sounds. Sire has 7 confusing knobs. On a live gig I could dial in different sounds instantly. With Sire I had to take time between songs and fiddle with knobs which rest of band hated.
