An Exciting New Bass from Sire!? | GB5 5 & 4 String Bass Guitars

[@drabdadster0790]

That fretless sounds damn gorgeous

[@Whosayswho79]

I think you will find that has a lot to do with who is playing it

[@drabdadster0790]

@@Whosayswho79 oh for sure, I’d gladly buy the bass if I could play it like that!

[@EpicMSdos]

​@Whosayswho79 a chimp could play that bass, it's the gear that makes the sound

[@thierry18]

​@@Whosayswho79 Yeah, but Cici is an excellent bassist and the clank of bronze strings on fretwire made her bass sound much less appealing (to me, anyway).

[@18hot30]

@@thierry18 Cici is an average bass player , intermediate at best, just look musically her note choices are really simple, her vocabulary isn't big, her phrasing is always lethargic unless she plays distorted, the laguhing guy is playing circles around her every time

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Wow!! What a tone on that fretless! Sheesh! And string through body on and acoustic?? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before so awesome SIRE!!

[@davidturner7863]

Oooo. Looking forward to this. Fretless sounds great. Fabulous playing.

[@siryba8855]

Brilliant video. Stewart Copeland once said that fretless instruments are one of the few musical devices where you can hit a note and then re-negotiate.

[@mauricerijsdijk2472]

She just got me convinced to get one to play Astons "Familyman" Barret's lines on. Sounds amazing!

[@bassnsax]

Great demo, Cici and Lee! I bet these would sound MAGNIFICENT with a set of tapewound strings!

[@andrewpinner3181]

Thanks guys, nice review & cool sounding basses. Loved the outro jam aswell !

[@Bassic778]

OUTSTANDING PLAYING!!! Come on, Sire!!!!!! Both basses are killing it but THAT FRETLESS IS PHENOMENAL!!!!!!

[@OutstandingBill1]

I like Lee's enthusiastic banter. Cici doesn't always get to do as much of the talking, but it's worth waiting for. Thank you both for another interesting video.

[@davidshigo3150]

once again guys, that intro was f***ing gorgeous !!!!

[@Herryo70]

That intro jam was niiiice! Listened to it a couple of times

[@michaelschneider7590]

Sounds fabulous! Let’s get the analog drummer to back up the Captain and Danish Pete too!

[@billholder1330]

That fretless! The tones! I'd love to hear it with GHS Pressurewound Bronze (my favorite fretless strings)!

[@metl_massacre]

Lee is one of the most enjoyable bass testers to listen to on yt

[@ryanchan0401]

I am sold to that 5-string fretless!

[@geovannivm]

Chord progression from the beginning sounds a lot like Tide of Changes - Angra. Just beautiful

[@vincentvandervaart8019]

I was gone at that awesome intro oh back again 😊

[@johnwood7879]

I would have liked to know what the specific setup was for each of the two basses. What was the fretless plugged into pedal and amp wise? Loved the sound. Thanks for the great videos.

[@jsnowdendavies]

That 5 string fretless is smoooov!

[@John-yl4tj]

Great tone on both, but I may have to get that fretless.

[@handybunny]

Thanks for reviewing. I’ve been curious about these - certainly remind me of the Godin ones that I can’t afford. Sounds gorgeous.

[@BenKrisfield]

Both sound awesome. Great demo!

[@LemonFacebluesguitar]

There she is again massive bass fingers and groove man she's awesome

[@milk_bath]

These two Bass Babes are so fun to watch.

[@RamiroBass]

Obrigado pelos vídeos, abraços aqui do Brasil.

[@karltraunmuller7048]

Phantastic intro jam 👏🏻

[@georgekushner323]

To the Andertons Folks. Could you please gie us some approximate weights for the 4 - 5 string basses, respectively? Thank you. Again, loved the intro jam!

[@fonkamex]

Sire is doing something very unique here. They are in Godin territory! First, they competed against Fender, then they produced a very nice MusicMan competitor, and now they are going for Godin. Amazing.

[@shiraga0516]

These basses are so cool!

[@viewer112358]

Nice playing fellah.... shades of Joni.

[@petdoe8938]

Reckless daughter my first thought as well some of the best bass playing I have heard on record

[@ThatOtherAndi]

would like to see some finger rest or ramp option maybe... other than that great instruments i guess, and great review as always!

[@TheMlvswoll]

I dig the profile, my biggest gripe with acoustic bass is the wide body. Just not comfortable for me. CiCi stated this as well.

[@lesliwells5433]

I REALLY LOVE ❤️ WHAT SIRE IS DOING,JUST NEED THEM TO DO IT FASTER,WHAT I MEAN,CAN YOU TALK TO SIRE FOR A LIMITED ADDITION M7 7-STRING,WITH A PIEZO,LIKE THE OLD YAMAHA TRB6P,THANKS FOR THE NEW VIDEO ❤

[@georgekushner323]

Absolutely loved your into jam.

[@krispykrunkdonut]

that fretless sounds unreal!!!!!

[@MrJayscinema]

That black four string is cool with the thumb rest that goes the whole length of the neck 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 can we hear the low B?

[@ArthurLayton]

Made my day.

[@Whosayswho79]

Listen to the intro jam on headphones! Stick a bit of lap steel in there and you would be off

[@aaronteague8050]

Super, would be awesome with an octave pedal

[@Myndi78]

I think the fretted would be amazing in music like Vulfpeck or more jazzy stuff like Snarky Puppy.

[@lance134679]

Drums make the jams better. Maybe Lee & Pete should do this occasionally.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Pete does drum loops through his looper on instagram all the time. I'm surprised he doesn't do that with Lee, although having a live drummer would be even better.

[@MrDblStop]

Listening to the fretless, it sounds a bit piezo-ey. I think they've missed a trick not putting an extra, different style pickup on there as say the Epiphone Zenith did.

[@briansmith6862]

Hey Lee, seeing how you played in the opener, I'm certain you'd love the music of Carles Benavent, flamenco bassist to the greats. He's played with some of the best bassists, and although he's from Barcelona, he has a few videos in English.

[@c.noahbaoas6816]

Just discovered his music thanks to this comment - soooo good

[@Leevoss88]

Thanks for the recommendation! :)

[@petdoe8938]

Sounds beautiful

[@handybunny]

The fretless is so tasty.

[@robwakelin5559]

I simply cannot find a photo of the controls on this bass. Gutted it doesn't have a tuner. If it had, I'd be ordering one today. May just stick to my beautiful Tanglewood TW155A bass. The Sire appeals as it would be easier to store/transport for live shows.

[@markperry7655]

I’m wondering if tapewounds would be useable on the 5 string Fretless? The issue would be with the through body stringing, ie they may break easily with the sharp angle?

[@lance134679]

Do flatwounds help the fingerboard last longer on a fretless?

[@mrebear9758]

Yes.

[@WhereTheBASShasNoName]

Why does the fretless sound like a trumpet? Sounds really cool

[@TheBassfresh]

how does one adjust the bridge height?

[@allycam8984]

Bjr - quelles sont les références des cordes bleues de la basse à 5 cordes? Encore merci pour cette démo 🎉👍

[@joelrichards4965]

How is the weight on these? I had a Godin fretless for a bit, it was pretty heavy.

[@michah8459]

the bass that Lady is playing on seems to have a little bigger body, is it just impression or it is a case?

[@wonderfullife3108]

Who needs a guitarist.

[@pjmuck]

Fretless is the way to go. Sounds great. As for the fretted one, I can't stand that clickety clackety piezo sound.

[@brooklynboy1000]

i had a Godin Multiac now they are twice as expensive - dont know why nothing has changed except for the greed of all music companies... I have also played the multiac bass - its cool for certain types of music - but theyre not very popular due to it being overpriced these cool like a good option

[@ZenoIV]

Have they sorted out the side dots and the fret markers being out of step?

[@liamhemmings9039]

Was the fretted version suffering from fret buzz, or is that just me?

[@sleepy_andy444]

Are they using effects pedals? Why ?

[@xavierandradev]

Too bad they don't have an unlined version. It would look gorgeous.

[@danielpeate8442]

Is there a solid date for availability? Changes all the time everywhere 😢

[@kevinburgess6877]

I was in Andertons today and they are in stock! Played the fretted one and it sounds amazing!

I now understand why Dave Simpson is in a bad place. I’m glad Cc is living her dream great bassist. Life can be amazing one day and cruel,

[@metamizol1606]

If it weren't for the fact that she was with Dave, no one would know her or she would have ever appeared on Andertons TV. Now it seems that he is no longer necessary. Typical.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

⁠@@metamizol1606Stop spreading this misinformation. You may not have known me before Dave, but many people did as I’ve been doing this since I was 12 years old, and am honoured to know and be known by many names, as well as many people. I worked for these opportunities and got them of my own accord. That aside, you have absolutely no idea how things really are and why I made the decision I did, but I won’t stand for misinformation and for being completely misconstrued, it’s unfair, unjustified and completely unfounded. Stop.

There isn't anything exciting about bass.

[@jimicunningable]

Sire, Ibby or LTD, Good People? Something like this is my next ride. HF.

[@supermario2100]

Personally I would go with the LTD. It's a true acoustic bass that's still thin, and has a really nice Fishman pickup system.

[@jimicunningable]

@@supermario2100 I"m prone to agree - I have the TL-6 & TL-6N guitars, and they are an outstanding "acoustic" guitar for a guy who grew up on electric guitars. I've played/owned Traveler, Cordoba, Godin & Taylor, this is my fav pick up of them all so far. ..Taylor pick up sucked (nice otherwise) & the Cordoba is rather good too.
