I own a couple of fender custom shop bases and won a Sire bass from Scott Devine. I think it retails for around $800 normally so about a 1/6th of the CS bass. Stunning instrument, the intonation is perfect, the frets are PRS quality, rolled fretboard edges and quality parts. Pickup sound is lovely and even the battery cover is high quality wood which is more than you get on a PRS this side of wood library. It’s genuinely as good as instruments several times the price. Completely made me rethink my view of affordable instruments.

Thank you Andertons for supporting Sire. I have bought 3 Sire basses from you and they are all really amazing instruments. They are well made and great value for money. Many players in the bass world have sold their Fenders in favour of Sire! The guitars sound just as good, so I might be tempted in the future. The song you played at the beginning and Lee's solo reminded me of U2's 'Unforgettable Fire.' Good work!

Having a pretty decent set up of gear for my current playing ability and needs, I mostly just watch these videos for the opening jam now. They are always amazing. In fact, Pete is so good at writing beautiful melodies and riffs for the backgrounds of these jams that I feel quite certain that he could put together an instrumental album that, combined with his amazing soloing ability, would rival surfing with the alien.

These are genuinely fantastic guitars. Complaints tend to be related to the occasional QC issue (which virtually all guitars are subject to from time to time), or a matter of subjective taste in sound or design. Generally speaking, they do exactly what they are designed to do and do it for a price that is almost hard to believe.

I just got my L7 (TS) and I have to say it's absolutely top quality. I have owned many guitars especially Gibson. Incredibly good pickups for any genre. The body is a bit thinner (46mm) than the Gibson, which is just a good thing. Neck width 43.43mm, nice C-profile one piece mahogany, head stock angle about 14 degrees (again a better thing than in Gibson). Modern neck joint is so easy to play. Alnico5 bridge pickup output DC 7.81k and neck 7.55k. I have a Slash Les Paul with Alnico2 APH-2S pups with 8.9k and 7.83k. But Sire has at least as much power. Weight about 3.8kg. Btw pots are made in Korea so no cheap China stuff. And what a price. Thank you Sire!

@Quiksilver no, even looking at the video you can see that Sire guitars and basses are serious professional instruments without the premium price tags. This should be a rude awakening for the big (Fender, Ibanez - to an extent, Yamaha, Gibson) manufacturers. It shows that for a very long time people have been paying for a name on a headstock. But as far as I can see Sire are making that point much more loudly and clearly than any other alternative manufacturers. They have sick quality and very beautiful classic styling. The hardware is amazing, the pickups have a very unique, professional and refined sound. The guys here are comparing them to musicman. That's a serious compliment. They are legit. And just look at those roasted maple necks. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm selling my Fender Jazz Bass and my Ibanez SR too. Getting one four string Sire and keeping my Schecter Stiletto Studio 6. If Sire did a left handed six string bass I'd probably sell the Schecter too. I actually prefer the sound of the Sire pickups and those maple necks are just astounding to look at.
@walterwhite2640
@walterwhite2640 3 жыл бұрын
@Quiksilver that's a dumb statement considering the fact that Sire has endorsements from two of the best players on guitar and bass in Larry Carlton and Marcus Miller. Ive heard and seen these instruments being played many times. Everyone who picks one up has nothing but good words to say about them. If you handed a Sire instrument to a good musician without letting them know where it was made or how much it cost and asked them to play it for a while and then provide an estimate on the value, they would come back to you with a figure three times higher than the retail price. They are just that good. And frankly the fact that you're here shitting all over them makes me think you're either just trolling because you're a loser, or because you suck at whatever instrument you play and you were suckered into buying a Fender or a Gibson at your local music store and it's now become a very expensive paperweight.
@walterwhite2640
@walterwhite2640 3 жыл бұрын
@Quiksilver Squiers are shit, Harley Bentons are too. And I've played both. Yes, they're cheap, like the Sires. The difference is that Fender are cashing in on the affiliation that Squiers have (being the cheap version of Fender). And they are horrendously overpriced even at retail when compared to Sire instruments. Harley Bentons are probably priced OK. By OK I mean they're cheaper than most Squiers which makes sense because they suck. But what's funny is that the Squiers are actually worse than the HBs. Cheap knock-off parts on them. Only difference is Fender owns the factory making the knock-off hardware so they save on shipping. Most budget basses suck. That's just a fact. But in the case of Sire they're at least doing something right, it seems. Sure, the hardware is their own. But quality wise it's better than the crap you get on other budget instruments. And really it's annoying to hear people parroting the same tired nonsense about the hardware being "cheap" because it's not Dunlop or Bartolini pickups or they don't use Gotoh tuners or some crap. Without some kind of actual test of the hardware (strip down and weigh it on a scale and compare the materials and construction to something widely regarded to be great) it's just a claim with no evidence. Statements like that have no substance and when you hear them from people who review instruments on a regular basis, chances are there are financial motivations behind a lot of them. Ever notice how you never see these same reviewers actually strip down an instrument and compare them like for like with say a Fender or a G&L? Because if they did you'd see where the bigger brands also cut corners. And that would be bad press which might affect how much these people get paid. And I would be more hesitant than you to knock a budget brand. I have a Schecter Stiletto Studio 6 and I have to say, quality wise it's amazing. I only paid £1000 for it brand new and in terms of what you get (mahogany body, bubinga top, neck thru construction, 18v active pre-amp, high quality satin finish, double graphite truss rod, gold hardware 35" scale and EMG pickups) its a steal. I mean if I were to look for something equivalent from one of the bigger manufacturers I'd probably be paying 3 times as much and more than likely wouldn't notice a difference in terms of quality. And btw the problems that some people claim to be having with some of these budget instruments are likely down to where they were made and not necessarily who is making them. It's a well known fact that Ibanez uses a South Korean factory for some of it's cheaper but still fancy RG guitars. That's how they can keep the quality up and the price low. South Korean factories are basically on par with Japanese guitar factories now. So if you buy a Sire do some research and make sure you get something that was made in South Korea. My Schecter was made there and it's the best instrument I've ever picked up and I've been to my local music stores and checked out Fenders, Musicmans etc. They play about the same as my Schecter in terms of feel and the build quality is about the same (though some of them have fancy little additions like binding, which looks nice but doesn't make a difference in any other respect). The difference? They cost way more and for the most part don't look as nice. And I've owned other "budget" instruments. I have a MIM Fender Jazz Bass. Compared to my Schecter it's a piece of shit. Even after I modded it with new tuners, a hipshot, new bridge and DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups, it still doesn't hold a candle to the Schecter. Don't get me wrong it's ok. But the quality just isn't the same. I've owned Yamaha's, Fender American Standard Basses, Ibanez SRs, Cort basses (which are actually surprisingly good). All of which were great but no any better than my Schecter and the majority of them way more expensive. It's not always all about what name you have on your headstock.

I’ve never had much use for tone controls but it really works with this guitar. It’s all subjective of course but try it….

Don't forget Larry used Valley Arts S style guitars in the 80s, and these Sire ones sound very similar, as the boys said, very 'studio'. And of course Larry is synonymous with his 335, but also has been using LP style guitars in more recent years for his bluesey stuff. So he covers the full gamut, and is thus the perfect ambassador for the Sire range.

Ha, I feel that the Captain is about as humble as you can find.. Seems like a genuine good guy. He isn't afraid to give honest reviews of less expensive equipment instead of continuously pushing top $ gear... a sign of an honorable man. Cap has also really come to fruition with his skills. Sounds great.

I was lucky that I pre-ordered one of the L7s and a kind of shot in the dark, which meant I got it for 449. Steal at that price, TonePros/Goto bridge and tailpiece, locking tuners, ebony fretboard, bone nut etc etc etc. A lot for the money. Pickups sound great too! I'm not going to lie, there's some imperfections so not better than guitars I have costing over 2k, but way better than say my £800 PRS.

The definition and chime of the solid-body G-type humbuckers are vaguely reminiscent of my '99 DeArmond M-75 with its Gold Tone humbuckers, but the build quality of the Sire instruments would seem to be much better than the DeArmond for what would be roughly similar money.

Beware the the 40mm nut width on The H7. If you are cursed with large hands you will have a problem. I The black stain will rub off on your fingers, so clean the finger board when you get it. The humbuckers punch above their weight and the overall build quality is better than expected.
