Totally blown away, and I’m really picky
I always love a good jazz bass and have several in my collection, ranging from 70’s US Fenders to Xotic, Fodera, Atelier Z and Alleva-Coppolo. I decided to try out a Sire after hearing so much positive about them, and went for the 4-string model with passive electronics and roasted neck.
I expected something around Fender Mexico level, but with better fret work, and tbh I was (and still am after a couple of months) totally blown away by the performance offered by the Sire.
Of course, I have only ever played the individual Sire Thomann sent me, but acoustically this bass sings like the best I have ever had, and try as I might I cannot fault the craftmanship anywhere on the bass. It’s simply put a fantastic instrument, regardless of price. Writing this I still am a bit in awe of how well this bass performs.
The only thing I am thinking of changing is switching to Fender CS 60’s pickups, but that’s a personal choice since I really love the sonic profile of those pickups - the Sire ones are actually quite nice but a little bit harsher and less slick than the Fender CS 60’s.
The Sire is incredibly responsive to different playing dynamics, the weight is just right at just a hair over 4kg and the neck feel and brilliant fret work are almost to die for. Truly an excellent bass overall, and then I haven’t even taken into consideration the incredibly good price.
Many thanks to Sire and Thomann for bringing such amazingly nice basses to beginners and professionals alike. This is really great stuff.

Skön greppbräda
Min första jazzbas efter att ha spelat i nästan 20 år.
Basen är väldigt vacker, spelar väldigt bra efter en justering av dragstången. Banden är väldigt jämna.
Mindre imperfektion vid 13e bandet vid G strängen på greppbrädan och potentiometerna är lite sprakiga, tyvärr, det sänker betyget.
detta känns som ett kvalitétskontrollsproblem, antaglingen ifrån fabriken.
