Great playing man! Both sound great because of your playing, but that Fender has such tone. The V5 is smokin for the money!
Thanks man! Yeah Sire won the value bang for the buck! check my single with Nathan East here th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Sire is a much clearer sounding bass. Fenders are cool, but they are muffled sounding in comparison. Marcus had something to do with the pickup design of the Sire. I got a V3 5 string, replaced the tuners w hipshot ultralights and had the bass setup. It’s really an incredible instrument. Also just over 8 lbs, so very lightweight for those long gigs. For $450 or so you can’t go wrong. I’m thinking of getting a V5 just because.

Great review - loved it.

Sire. I just bought one. It sounds really awesome👍
the big power of Fender wins!
who will like a tight sound ? strange to like a so little sound
i prefer the big sound of the Jazz bass ; it's normal vs the price
比べる動画はありがたいです。それぞれの特徴出て参考になりました！
Wish I understand Japanese 😀
Thank you ..,. I just asked you about this comparison yesterday.
😀 which one you like?
@@RamaNatan I think the best value is the Sire, however, I do like the Fender a little better but not a $1,000 USD better.
That’s it! $1000 could be used for more tone shaping tools if we want
@@RamaNatan 100% agreed ...
Keep in mind the Fender has pickups in 60's position while Sire has them on 70's (bridge pickup closer to the bridge) So the Sire has more the Marcus Miller sound.
Nice playing man!
very nice playing bro !!
Not really a looser here, both sound great. Sire sounds like I’d want a good 70’s Jazz too; brighter, punchy, lively and dynamic. People say it has hotter pickups but IME hotter pickups usually mean more midrange and a rolled off top end. New Fenders sound darker and more compressed in my opinion but I think that one sound very good. Great playing! Cheers!
Thanks man
Bought myself a lefty sire v5 same model as the one your playing and its now number one bass, blows the player series jazz away with the build quality and the sound is just as good if not better.
Well worth getting. One if you're on a budget can be a real workhorse imo!!
Congratz Conor! That's it, no need to waste more money just to get a decent Jazz nowadays! Enjoy
great play Nathan! Fender is always the best for me, but i just bought Sire V5 yesterday as my 2nd bass, and i'm so amazed with what this V5 can do..super tone for that price!
V5 is also my favorite
They are both great...
But the Site v5 has better Slap tone
to my ears
P.S. And I'll take the Sire $
Tx. Great playing
J.p.

damn boi that's some tasty playing

my Sire V5 with Aguilar pîckup .... best of both worlds
Man that Sire is worth every $ and then some!

That single coil hum on the sire bridge pick-up is loud.

FENDER TOPS THIS ONE
th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Both sound really good. I tend to favor the Fender. But i prefer the pickups be in the 60s position on a JB. Just me. That said, I’d happily play either one.
nice
I was surprised how vastly I preferred the Fender.
Very nice and groovy playing btw 👍
😁
Rama Nathan. Nice video. You preferred this V5 in 4 or 5 strings !??
5
Hey man great videos any clue on the sire weight? Specifically the 5 string ?
th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Fender The Best
Also twice the price. I don't think it's worth it
If the V5 was a 5 string I could buy it and be just as happy as if I'd bought the Fender.
You can buy easily in your country europa or Asia but in my country We can t buy easily We have to work 5 years you have luck
@@emirhanokyay188 sorry to hear that.
But there is a 5 string v5
It's not even close. The Sire blows the Fender away big time 💯
saving more money
the big power of Fender wins!
who will like a tight sound ? strange to like a so little sound
i prefer the big sound of the Jazz bass ; it's normal vs the price
Fender wins for tone and looks..it sounds way deeper and warmer
Sire v5 super tone and low price!
That’s it!

Think the Fender is warmer and still better in the mix. The Sire kind of sticks out.

Possiedo un Fender Jazz custom shop, un Fender Jazz Marcus Miller made in Japan e un Sire V5: suonati a casa il Sire è fantastico e sembra reggere perfettamente il confronto con gli altri 2 ma una volta usato in contesto di gruppo la differenza si sente (avvertita anche dagli altri membri della band). Resta il fatto che i Sire hanno un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, sono ergonomici e suonano alla grande per quel che costano...ma non scherziamo! Non sono assolutamente migliori di un Fender di fascia alta (a meno che non capiti uno strumento "fallato"). Anche ascoltando lo stesso Miller si può percepire piuttosto bene la differenza tra quando utilizza i Sire rispetto a quando usa il suo Fender Jazz; io lo vidi live molti anni fa, quando aveva appena iniziato a fare da endorsment per Sire e, non conoscendo ancora questa marca (vedendolo a distanza, da giù dal palco, credevo fossero dei modelli Sadowsky!😅) rimasi colpito da come peggiorasse e si "svuotasse" il suo suono quando imbracciava uno di questi rispetto a quando utilizzava il Fender! Era perfettamente udibile la differenza ed io non ero assolutamente influenzato non avendo la minima idea di che modelli fossero.
Ciao io sto per ricomprare un Sire. Cambiando i PickUps con dei Fralin o simili, il gap si accorcia parecchio o sparisce. I Pickups Sire finzionano bene solo se attaccti ad un preamp spinto tipo il Sadowsky.
Fender best

I think the fender has a very fender sound as usual but with a very very good active enhancement that keeps the fender sound with a thicker quality. Sounds like a fatter fender sound rather than a pre-amp sound? Many makers have their passive tones that sound like the wood that the bass is made of and then flick the active switch and you get the sound of the pre-amp which barely makes a difference in what bass you have it in. Fender did great work with maintaining the active fender sound. However the Sire seems to have a clarity that is very exceptional and as he turned the tone knob the tone variation was incredible. I think I gotta go with the sire. Very very close but the sire can do the fender sound but the fender can’t do the sire.
That edge Sire has and the price already save people’s money 😁
Where is the benefit of the roasted neck in your opinion in the feel or the sound? I noticed that Marcus only uses a V10 now with a roasted neck. I have two v7's one is stock other than hardware. I changed the bridge and tuners and knobs and put a custom leather pick guard, but electronics are factory but my other V7 has a Michael Pope 4 band flex core with nordstrand hum canceling 70's jazz pickups. I also swapped out the tuners and bridge ( both basses are swap 5 strings) I actually buy strings for a 6 string bass and I use the .35 for my G and the 105 for the B. For me I love the light high string pop and I still get lows but I avoided playing a 5 string for years because I felt like the B never sounded pretty? It was deep but floppy and I only heard the B used for quick accents, so when I used a lighter string I can actually use it in melodies and get beautiful music from it as well as that low B vibe.
@@steviedebarge77 Interesting, but with that gauge for the strings your instrument is rather a cello guitar than a bass. And... the B string is a blessing for the bass players, some of them even tune it a whole step down for more low range (these are the gospel bass players).
Hay rama? Witch do you like best between the v7 and v5?
V7 for the preamp added! 😁
lebih worth it yang mana mas?
coba bandingin sama fender marcus miller japan dong, kan pas ditengah2 sekitaran 900-1000 dolar
masih menang V5 sih dari MM Japan
I like the backing track. Any chance someone knows it or can tell me the chords progression?
th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
They both sound pretty good but the sire seems to have hotter pickups. I have a feeling some of the pro Fender comments are from brand snobs who are more worried about status than sound and/or they can't fathom a $500 bass sounding good when they paid $1500 for a GD decal
yeah blind test could trick the ears
would you recommend a 5 for the sire? I am probably going to buy one soon.
Yez
@@RamaNatan got a 4 string, I love it. Its much better than my Fender Player series despite being cheaper.
Sure the Fender AP sounds warmer, but this pretty Sire does not sound 4 times less warmer if we compare prices.
I wonder how differente do the instruments feel to you, though.
$1550 vs $500 bass! I don't wanna spend 1000 more after trying that V5! :)
@@RamaNatan not even if it provides more comfort? Does it?
@@bobmaerten the satin roasted neck on the V5 gives you a strong grip, neck feels awesome
with just a turn on the knobs, I think you could nail it. Nothing less than Fender
@@RamaNatan I snapped, I ordered one… ;)
People forget that half of the fender tone is the medium jumbo frets. If you want that above all else, they aren't the sole option either. That's what the tiny tyaste of fart comes from. And the way it comes to the forefront depends upon the basic eq profile created by the pickups themselves. That little part of the sound is the one thing that is hard to reproduce on a cheaper bass. But other expensive brands, like G&L, even have medium jumbo frets on their lower-end lines.
On the other hand, Sire is taking the Jazz Bass sound and adding the snap that comes with medium and medium-tall frets. Trying to get that same snap sound found easier in medium and narrow frets is one of the reasons Fender-worshippers try to use different pickups on Fenders. Leo Fender may have been a prophet, but the message has changed and the actual technology of guitars is far better understood by others now than Leo ever did then.
Hard facts.
Chew and Swallow.
Nice observation! I just don't wanna spend $ 1000 more just for a brand. :) for a jazz tone
That‘s an interesting description of the fender bass sound. How could you best achieve the ˋfart´ and the ˋsnap´ in one bass, in your opinion?
@@mountainman8775 I am pretty sure that if you have a really good eq pedal you can at least dial down just the snap. Maybe the Boss bass eq.
@@pkupferschmidt hi, that‘s good advice. I have a Sire v3 I‘m in love with. The only thing I think could improve it is a little of that fender ˋfart´ as you put it
Yeah and no.. Leo design an instrument with the approach of basic simplicity and not only did it work it still working.. it’s the most copied design of any bass that’s out there.. but here’s the thing .. A Fender has that tone that most have gotten close to.. however the suttleties as minute as they may be makes all the difference in the tone those instruments have as opposed to the Fender Jazz and P Bass.
For $500 you get hotter pickups. How much for the V5?
$500 up
There was sonething wrong with the sire low strings, are you sure pick ups and equalization was right? Maybe volume?
Oh in the second part you fixed it, Im hearing it right now
bli dimana bassnya,apa nama toko online shopnya,kok saya cari sire bass yang fretless di online shop nggaq ada
Saya dealer Sire WA aja 087875084706

First.
Fender...superior
Is this the Professional 2 or 1? Either way, it's hard to beat Fender these days. The Pro and Ultra have put them back on people's radar. The rest of the line is kind of wack, in my opinion. The Player series just feels cheap.
I like Sire and still have one or 2. If I wasn't into Japanese jazz basses right now, I'd grab the Pro 2 or the Ultra with alder/ maple before buying another Sire. Just because I have the best Sire already.
Not sure if it’s the 1 or 2. I love those 60-70s old Fender basses
Whats the backing track?

Hate to say it but the Fender is in a different league.
fender sounded better overall more balanced with the highs and lows... but the money difference, but The Sire will definitely get it done
th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
If one sounds better than the other… it’s a placebo effect.
If one costs less then the other… it’s a financial effect.
If he plays them both like a Pro… it’s the truth!!
Hey Sumbi thanks for revealing the truth :)
@@RamaNatan you’re welcome.
Great video!
MESSI vs SON
Unfair if using the B string that the Sire doesn’t have. No contest, the Fender sounds better, even without the B string. I have different models by both.
Well you’d know the Sire B with my other videos and it’s easily up against this Fender B!
Should have used the Sire V5 5 string.. The 4 string does sound great tho!
didn't have it ;)
W Fender.... Sire it's a toy
Honestly the sound of fender is disgusting especially for the price, Sire V5 blows fender in any way, I am a professional bass player I have own Moon Basses, File, Sadowskys etc, Sire V5 is the best for me right now.
A brand is not everything, I have learn during the las years, a real Fender Vintage Jazzbass form 75 is unique, but new ones are far from perfect at those prices.
I agree speaking of price and what it sounds compared to Sire
I love old Fender woods
you need to learn how to play, and get a short scale bass, they are too big for your hands and arms
