Just received my V3 in Natural Brown...the batteries needed to be physically pressed down into the compartment to activate the preamp, but that was a relatively easy fix, and the tone of these pickups/preamp is amazing at the price point...I did not have the dirt on the fretboard, but I prefer the strings run through the bass, so I swapped strings to flatwound and what a difference. also, the dealer in California, Pitbull Audio, are excellent and extremely responsive and accommodating. Once they learned of the issue, they offered to exchange the bass...I decided to keep the bass, and they said if I'd like to take it to a Tech for repair, THEY would pay for it...beat that! The string tree was also missing one of it's screws right out of the box, but that's got zero effect on how I enjoy this bass guitar. Bravo Sire...and thank you for high quality instruments at anyone-can-afford-one prices...
First i've bought the sire v7 2nd gen 5 string , really good bass ,than after playing a v3 2nd gen , I sold the v7 because I liked the sound and the playabillity better on the v3!
I was looking for a cheaper alternative for the Marcus Miller V7 Alder-5 BK 2nd Gen, do you think aside from it only being active that it is good enough?
YES. I've been playing bass for 45yrs. I'm 65. I own many basses and many Sire's now. I take the V3 out the most because it just sits in the mix so well with our band. Playability is exceptional. Lightweight mahogany body on mine. The answer is ....YES!

The Sire V3 is probably the best “Bang for Buck” Jazz bass out right now.
Thank you for this demo ! Always clear with no fancy. Just a bass player, playing very well and with a great and pure recording.

Fantastic
I just got mine about a week ago and to be honest I do like it more than the Fender Elite jazz bass 5.
Why?? ..
Un bajo de muy buena calidad! 👍🏽
