Craving a 24-fret 5-string J. I’ve been transcribing a song going up to high G and down to low C. This would make that possible for a fraction of the expected cost. Great job from Sire for filling the niche on this one.
I got a Sire V8 Bass Guitar from your good selves for Christmas. It's a beast! I have two Sire Guitars too and for me the best bang for the buck instruments available today. Pure quality at a very affordable price.
I am no astrophysicist, but I have listened to a couple of Stephen Hawking’s vids on youtube. I’m also not a bass player, but I always watch Lee and Cici on Anderton’s TV. I can now say with absolute unaccredited certainty, that no matter what time or space you find yourself in, Lee and Cici will make the bass seem cool.
Been playing my 4 string version of this since September, really love this thing! Took the pick guard off though and looks much better. Just got a five string version of this today as well. Such a great value for what you get! Totally recommend!
Cool having 24 frets on a jazz bass! ^^, Gotta admit, though, I figured it'd be a "showing off all the new Ibanez bass releases" day today, especially seeing how the Captain and Third Lee did a bunch of those new Ibanez guitars yesterday. Hopefully that's something that is in the pipeline.
This is what I've been looking for, i just wish they would let you chose the maple fretboard for the other colors , that vintage white doesn't cut it, i wrote them but they can't change what they have. I would have bought one already, and i love that it's more traditional pickups, and not the 18 volts,
I love the idea of a sire but that truss rod cutaway in the pickguard destroys the look of these and their other basses. So weird to have a huge chunk missing like that
Would have been nice to hear the 5-string and see it how it balanced. I've just had to sell my Modern Player Jazz bass because it felt like an anvil around my neck and I thought this might be a good replacement.
Please do a new video on budget semi hollow and hollow bodies! Epiphone, hagstrom, sire, ibanez. Really wanna see if the hagstrom viking 2 is worth it. Theyre on sale for half price and idk if that just means theyre garbage or a great deal!
I got a v5 24, i wanted to try it, (I bought it used for half a price). The only problem is that the neck pickup is to close to the neck and becomes a bit difficult for slapping, otherwise is a very good quality instrument. Important is that you have to adjust the neck and the bridge for your own needs. The sound is to bright for my taste, and the tone knob is poor switching between bass and treble, not getting a great sound definition.
Tones sound good. Not entirely sure about the aesthetics of the squished scratch plate, but these are still nice looking instruments.Calling bollocks on the fingerboard lacquer affecting the tone.
they need to extend this 24 fret option to the entire range, there's no benefit to not having the extra frets. if they made a 24 fret V10 i'd buy one in a heartbeat...
What's up Benny I bought the new Fuschia Les Paul i forget if i told you already short term memory and such with an absolutely insane top, if you have an email I can get, I'll send you pictures, the rosewood fret board is so dark it looks like ebony. Take it anyway you can get it 🥴💨💨💨 Peace
3:13 wow, these are so cool! And I love that deep carve on the back, looks super comfy Also, I need to admit... the first time I saw Lee I was a bit put off by him. After watching a lot more videos, I've realized he's a super cool guy and I have no idea why I initially dismissed him Just had to get that off my chest lol P.S. Cici is of course awesome too... thanks Andertons for all that you do :)
I’m all for additional frets… I love having the extended range…. BUT. Fender, in the 2000’s made a Jazz Bass with 6 strings for Steve Bailey. NO ONE makes a 6 string jazz-style bass, let alone a “budget” bass. Oh. And the V5 Fretless sounds like garbage. The pickups need a preamp. The frets give it a good grinding buzz… but the pickups don’t pick up the mwah I’m looking for in the Fretless. Lindy Fralin in cream for the win….
I hate how music stores have all these basses listed individually in their catalogs instead of just having the model and then have the color options with photos listed on the product page. Sire just spams all the catalogs full of these since there are like 5000 different color options and I bet they are purposefully using it as a tactic.

They make one of those too cuz😊
I love my v-7 4 string. I'm dialed in through the headphones and getting vintage clean bone tone. Bass number 10 since 1972, is the best.
You can't beat a real drummer for these jams.

One of the best quotes I've heard while playing the 24th fret: "you paid for 24 frets, you're gonna use all of them, aren't you?"
Love watching these two!
I’ve been waiting for a proper demo of the 24 frets!
I keep on telling myself to buy & learn. But I like watching you guys together.
Like, one of the best releases from a company, in years
Thanks guys for a nice review !
I like so much watching you play
Hi guys. Happy new year. Hope you had a great holiday season.
I would love to see a PJ one in full black like the Aerodyne series, instant buy.
Best jams!!
Alright, just bought one. Crazy price at the moment.

I was waiting for you to try the 5 strings version of those Sire 24...

My MM Sire feels like it’s made of butter it almost melts in your hands.

nice o0ne guys, they look good cc on fire as usual.
thanks

I certainly hope you guys are getting the Z series in...
Waiting for your first impressions of the Z series. Did you do anything on them at NAMM ? Surely a Sterling Killer!!
Finally!
Hope they can make a humbucker version of v5 24 frets
Those are some longbois!
More bass vids 😊 24 f nice

How about a short-scale 24 fret Sire?

Gotta love me some Mr Big (bass) at 6:25
We need more Lee!! And Cici or Nathan
they need to extend this 24 fret option to the entire range, there's no benefit to not having the extra frets. if they made a 24 fret V10 i'd buy one in a heartbeat...
You know, extra frets same price, unbelievable!!! Ok it should be 2 £ on previous price. Thank you, thank you and again thank you!!!
I think sire basses are great for people who can't afford a high-end fender.
Where have WE been???? Where have you all been?
I wish they did the 5 string in white.
Try Cort Elrick NJS model. Is on the market about 2 years ago and you will find White colour. Sire is late on the game
What's up Benny I bought the new Fuschia Les Paul i forget if i told you already short term memory and such with an absolutely insane top, if you have an email I can get, I'll send you pictures, the rosewood fret board is so dark it looks like ebony. Take it anyway you can get it 🥴💨💨💨 Peace
Lee and Ben the acoustic guy have very similar personalities are they related? 😂
It's great to see that but Sire is late on the game... Cort has already the Cort Elrick NJS Model on the market. I believe about 2 years ago already.
3:13 wow, these are so cool! And I love that deep carve on the back, looks super comfy

2:32 only mark king jazz bass would have 24 frets ,cici
I prefer 24 fret basses. You never see them with J pickups.
👍👌
I'd buy one, but my heart belongs to Ukuleles... The 1920s Kamaka Pineapple 🍍 is the best choice for SpongeBob lovers!
Wrong. Fender Jazz 24.i believe it is MIK .Discontinued.

IF FENDER Had Any SENSE.....(They'll No Doubt Raise the Price!)
