So here’s my final thoughts on this beardless lowed lobster: looks definitely younger! 😜 Got a V5 for more than 2 years now, very smooth to play, my goto bass for almost everything.
I was in a relationship last year, and always watching LowEndLobster videos. My gf got annoyed I was watching too many, and asked why the guy is wearing pajama pants. A year later, she’s gone and I’m still watching LowEndLobster!!
I just got my V5 yesterday after a 5 month wait. I decided to get it based off your review.. Thanks! It's a beauty....totally shocked how nice it looks.
@@Alifesalife I do agree with you there, *most* are ugly, especially the ones with the pointy overly extended upper cutaway, but when companies do come out with something different, like the fender dimension or the gibson eb-13, the bass community hivemind never gives it a fair chance
@@jasondorsey7110 idk if “hivemind” is really accurate tbh the classic models/ brands became “classics” because they were and still are really good. No one really cares about danelectro longhorns for example and they came out 2 years before the jazz bass did.
I bought one of these in Vintage White with a tort pickguard a few months ago. Easily one of the best Fender style basses I've ever played. Couldn't be happier with it, and I can't seem to put the damn thing down!!
I picked up one of these last summer from Thomann (the only store on earth who had them at that time) for $400 (plus $67 shipping to US). Every time I pick it up I feel like I stole it. The materials and craftsmanship are what you'd expect on a bass retailing for two or three times as much. I don't know why anyone bothers to pay the Fender tax at this point when other brands are delivering this kind of quality for so much cheaper.
I definitely spent way too much on a CS jazz about 10 years ago and I regret it more every time I see a bass like this. Of course it's nice but it simply wasn't worth the money. Sire wasn't really a thing back then so 🤷♂
How many years more do we have to wait until Sire makes these basses with lightweight tuners and lighter overall weight? I had bought a V7 5 string and it killed me weighing 10 3/4 lbs so I soon sold it. Actives have too many damn knobs, too. Thanks for another great review, Lobsta! This is a pretty bass and good value.
Hey lobster, I have the fire string version of that can’t wait to get the four string version love that champagne gold color. It sounds great. Love that 70s pickup spacing. PEACE!
Great review! I've got a Sire V5 five string in this color on preorder. I usually play a light short scale but I've been curious about 5s for a while. Do you have a recommendation for ultralight tuning pegs that would fit this model best?
Something about “No Tone” that inspires me to grab my Bass and jam!! As usual, great review Lobster. For the price and quality you get, I might just purchase one thanks to you.. great looking bass too..
Few years ago I bought M7 and it was really nice instrument and it sounded great. BUT I returned it due to the neck dive, a got myself Cort B4 Artisan, which actually has light hipshot and is balanced perfectly.
I recently bought the V5 in natural and to me it also nicely compliments the roasted neck and fretboard. It is my first Jazz bass andI am pleased with the sound and feel. I ordered mine in January from Thomann and paid $399! I also bought a Harley Benton PB 50 I had been wanting and express shipped was only $100 fro Germany. So even at $450 it was cheaper than what I was able to find available here in the US.
I'm a guitar player shopping for my first bass. I saw a used Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass at the local Guitar Center for $499 (not a fan of the company, but only local store carrying many PRS guitars, which I'm also shopping for, and the GC staff was very helpful). Anyway, I really wanted to buy the Fender - it's a great deal! However, while the Fender was fine, I wasn't bonding with it. I saw a Sire V3, and it was substantially easier to play, had a great variety of tones, and sounded very good. I'm now likely going to get a Sire - the V5 is tempting, and this (and the rest of your videos) are very helpful and entertaining. That said, I am curious if the updated V7 has improved substantially since you last reviewed it.
oh hey i just got one as a birthday present for myself! I love it!! Didn’t vibe with the stock pickups, put some lollars in it and i never reach for any other bass 😅
I've got a D5 with a Seymour Duncan Stinger and I love the bass. The feel playing the neck is fantastic. Which I believe is the same neck as the D5. When I was in the market for a Jazz recently the V5 was on my short list, I ended up with a Fujigen. Which is fantastic too. I must say I love that champagne color.
@@MrCalifornia0 The Fujigen. Fujigen makes many of the Fender MIJ instruments, and the Fender MIJ reputation was built on Fujigen. It's like American Standard quality at Fender Player prices, and that's only because shipping is so expensive from Japan.
I dropped a John East J-Tone preamp in my V5. Couldn't be happier with the tones I'm getting with this combination, the passive tone control gets a lot of use. The V5 is a great sounding and playing bass. Personally I think the champagne gold metallic would look even better with a tort pickguard.
I picked up a V5 for a song and it's become my 'workhorse' - so playable. I'm just trying to track down some Gotoh GB528 tuners but here in the UK, everyone seems to be out of stock - waiting for my order to come in. I'm really amazed at the quality of the instrument. Also, I see Sire have also released a V5 with 24 frets. The body of the instrument looks smaller, perhaps to allow for improved upper position access? Thanks for this review, I suppose now I'll have to get my hands on one just to see if the new 'roll' on the neck, makes a difference. Salutations!
Hey L.L. You did a good job showcasing this bass (I wasn't very familiar with Sire...) both in terms of stating its' features/specs and also with to the point audio playing demos - like PUPS at 100%/50/0. And I can tell you've been woodshedding: Rick Beato will be happy! And I enjoy watching the enjoyment on your face as you finish your various etudes in funk: that's what it's all about! 1 question: I saw a couple of used Sterling Ray 4-str basses in like-new condition on CL asking for like $250 and $225. Good deal, and/or how would you compare your Ray (you modified it a bunch, I believe...?) to the Sire or the new Squire short scale you showed us a few days ago? TIA
I really really really want to like this bass. Aesthetically though, I just don't know that I would want to play it by looking at it. Sounds so good though.
If I didn't already have my beloved G&L JB I would buy one of these. I've been considering getting one of their P basses but I'm currently spending some time with a Sterling Ray24. Took it out to a jam for the first time today and I really enjoyed how versatile it is and how well it cut through the mix in a band
Ever play a short scale? The Sire u5 is a blast to play and it’s a PJ setup. Super comfortable, light, and a really beautiful looking guitar. Lobster gave it 5 claws and I wholly agree. It plays and looks like a $1200 bass should for a little over $500…cheaper from Thomann even with shipping
@@swperry04039 Nice! I had my eyes on a U5 for a bit. I actually traded a Hofner club bass for the stingray, and I also have a mustang bass. Short scales are fun but I usually gravitate towards full scale for some reason. The Hofner and the mustang are great to play though.
@@jerryjb bass is my double (tenor sax) and I love my regular scale instruments, but as a part time bass player (one gig a week plus occasional freelance stuff) I have to say the shorter reaches make it a lot easier to get around quickly when I haven’t been spending a ton of time on it. It’s also my first bass with the rounded fretboard/ neck edges and wow does it make a difference; particularly if you don’t have long fingers
Super informative review and much appreciated. Is there a drop in bridge replacement available for for this range of Sire Bass guitars? Is Albridge still a going concern and source for drop in replacements as the website list all bridges as zero stock? Any other sources for this type of Sire bridge?
I want to buy either a Jazz Bass or a Precision as my first bass from this series. I'm not particularly into slap, and I feel more drawn to the Precision, but I can only afford one bass. Which of these would be more versatile?
Great review lobs, you always have a great eye for quality bass manufacturing and I bought a u5 because of your recommendation and was still pleasantly surprised when I got it. I would love a review of the fender meteora bass if you could get your claws on it. I've been interested in it for a couple years now but can't find a store that has one in stock. I'd like an opinion from a reviewer I trust before spending half a month salary on a new bass. It looks and sounds bloody great but every review I can find sounds like a commercial.
What's not to like? I've been a Sire fan/player for about 5 years now. (My main gigging bass is a V7 vintage). Really like the tones coming out of these.
I blame you for ordering a V5 this weekend (it was between the V5 and the V7....or a V8 B stock but still 200 bucks more...). Was tempted by the 5 string...got the 4 instead. in vintage white and with a boston mint green pickguard...should arrive at the end of the week. Why did I get back into bass....as if I didn't have enough hobbies already...but the thicc strings call to me....
I like my sire a lot (second gen 5 string in vintage white) I’m wondering… should I get an Albridge? Should I not have put flats on it? I feel like I’m missing that jazz bass sound with the flats but they feel so nice. Also wondering if I defintiely don’t need to put other pickups in it. Thanks for the awesome video
I've never owned or played a jazz bass weirdly. Was just wondering on the v5 are you able you able to slightly roll off one pickup? Ot is it case when you start rolling off one it just stays 50/50 until you get to a point in the tirn where it jumps too 100% of one pickup. My rickenbacker 4003 pretty much jumps from all on to all off without much gradient if any. I noticed an online video where jazz bases are like this?
How do the Harley-Benton 25th anniversary jazz bass or the MV-4JB Gotoh compare to this? I know they're not in the same price bracket, but how much could I gain by moving up to the Sire V5?
The reason the tuners are heavier is because they are not made from cheap pot metal like most asian made instruments in this price range aka Squier btw the bridge is steel also 🙂
@@robertnewquest656 If I am wrong I will admit it, but isn't pot metal primarily tin with other cheap alloys? That's why most players prefer a heavier steel bridge. I feel quite sure that steel weighs more than pot metal. I will check this out for sure. Thanks for pointing this out. I do agree that heavier isn't always better but I don't see a lot of hardware made from aluminum or titanium?
@@robertnewquest656 After checking it out both Zinc and Tin ,which are primary components of pot metal, are both lighter than steel. ✌You are correct though heavy is not always good. But most players I know want a heavier steel bridge which is better for tuning stability and sustain.
Yes, this is absolutely great instrument...I play one in my local music shop...but...this headstock 🙄🙄🙄🙄...Is ugly for sue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...The modded lobster looks great..much younger 🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🤗

The sound is great for a ‘passive’ bass! Sire did a great job on it!🤨🎶👍🏾

Wow, 5 months is a lot of time! Where did you buy it?
Im getting a v5 24 fretless prolly in this week 🏇
@@MikeRojas90 Through Sweetwater.
I got one after seeing the first review. Very versatile and comfortable to play. My budget was tight and this was the right choice. Thank You so much!
Nice! I just picked up one of those in the same color. I put some Brantley Geddy Lee pickups in, and it's my favorite jazz bass to date.
Wow 😳! A clean tone and a crispy slap 😁
I`ve heard of bearded clams but not beardless lobsters! Great review as always............
Who is this fresh faced person impersonating lobster?
Fresh indeed. Looks 20 years younger.
@@schm4704 The design of the bass, however, ain't so fresh, shame these companies have to build imposters of 60 year old models to make any money

Sire has really impressed me lately. For the price point they are really competing well against higher priced basses.
You know, I didn't like you too much at first.
Thought you were kind of weird and didn't get the lobster thing.
But now, I dig it.

Ok the Sure bass is cool and all. WHO TF IS THIS LOBSTER 😂. Looking good man 👍
This bass looks killer! That champagne gold colour is awesome
Had the pleasure of visiting Andertons in Guildford, UK last week. Tried a bunch of Sires. Left with an awesome M7 6-string.
I bought one of these in Vintage White with a tort pickguard a few months ago. Easily one of the best Fender style basses I've ever played. Couldn't be happier with it, and I can't seem to put the damn thing down!!
I have this bass fretless + one fretted Natural color and they are amazing. The neck is very comfortable. The sound is amazing !!!
How do like the fretless? Mine just came in at Sweetwater after 6 months on order
@@JimHawkins808 i love it. I was lucky to get it in 5 days as it was in stock.
I’m glad you mentioned the metallic labeling on the headstock. I love it also. Plus their logo doesn’t look cheap at all.
it feels good to listen to this song and have a nice day !
Very clean, fresh look… and the bass looks good too! Great review, as always.
After spending the last four months with my Sire V5, fretless, five string, I want one of these!
They make a great pair!
Love the look of that neck. Sounds great.
Nice bass....
I am partial to 24 fretts now...
70s Jazz Bass pickup placement always sounded the best to me for some reason.
Hey Lobster the great! 👑 You are the most top reliable reviewer out there! I can’t wait for your comparison of the V5 & V5R .. 🙏🏼 Thanks!

Torn between this and the G&L JB/JB-2 - do you have a comparison / thoughts? Or the V7
Looking good , but seriously I thought for
a minute there we had a guest host 😊
I wonder if it worth to upgrade the pickups to something like a DiMarzio dp123.... vintage but noiseless and not so expensive
I have a $1500 fender jazz bass that neck dives more than my Sire. So Fender must be using cheaper tuners than Sire does?
Packs one hell of a tonal pallet.
Since you like also FGN’s … how does this Sire compare to a Mighty Jazz…quality and sound wise 🤔
