Why You Should Try a Fretless Bass! - New Sire V2 Fretless Basses

[@jackduxbury1632]

Opening Jam is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Much love and respect. Thumbs up the Bumhucker!! Xx

[@khumomoruke9324]

Kinda reminds me of It Gets Funkier IV by Vulfpeck

[@MalcolmPowder]

Sounds painful.

[@FarrinD12]

A 24 fret Sire V7 would be amazing! If you guys could put a word in Kyle’s ear, that would be great! Wonderful videos as always!

[@Solelova67]

Gentleman, your enthusiasm equals your playing abilities. Always great stuff.

[@malkavian6275]

You both are such great musicians!

[@smalltownnightlife]

I'm not a bass player... But this video made me question why I'm not. Wicked playing!

[@averyweissman4093]

Definitely interested in the 24 fret Sire. Looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@stewvlogs5084]

Just purchased the Sire V2 Updated Fretless Left Hand Marcus Miller M7 Swamp Ash Bass from your website. Great video guys.

[@everts2997]

24 frets is one of the things I was hoping they might add on the Gen 2! I was hoping to hear some P7 sound samples as well actually.. There isn't a single video on youtube yet that properly demonstrates the 2nd Gen P7, even in your first video I believe it was just a short fretless demo with flats. So.. Maybe next video? :D

[@colinstewart3699]

Yes all the above the lads are saying 🎶

[@igorkurtz7358]

This is turning into my favorite show on KZbin. You two got great chemistry going on, and you made me buy a standard p7. P.S.

[@droogii1142]

Those Sire's are great bang for the buck I have to admit. Enjoyed the riffs as usual.

[@David-cd6ez]

Can we please get a video of Nathan's 24fret jazz bass, that deep access cutaway looks incredible, also how about demo of the fretless 5 string PJ?

[@RUMBLEGO1]

I have a few Sire's now and LOVE them! The rolled edges and new pickups weren't enough for me to think about ordering another. However, a 24 fret 5 string has definitely peaked my interest. I would order one of those Sire! :)

[@andrecsx]

That's how you sell a bass, good job Lee, very tasteful playing.

[@RobertHorvat93]

Also thanks for doing the first M7 fretless review on YT :D

[@mrlucid9572]

Start every Day by watching you two. Great music and show guys✌️😊 Keep it Up. Cheers from Sweden

[@iliasliakos6692]

Sire should make a Stingray like bass!

[@offensive_name6123]

Thats a good idea!!

[@darryldean3274]

AMEN!

[@jcout25]

Why? Sterling and Music Man already do that....why not make an original bass?

[@chrisess2581]

@@jcout25 Sire don't make any originals.... They're all copies/versions of basses that already exist in other brands, arguably, improved versions.

[@joshlawless1022]

@@jcout25 someone tell J that Squier and Fender already make Jazz basses too...

[@chedhead3278]

Great stuff as ever chaps, cheers. No lefthanded fretless versions that I can see, is this likely to change? I imagine it's a very small market.

[@scottjeffrey808]

Fabulous videos and great playing, dudes! And yes I certainly would love a 24 fret jazz style Sire. Personally, I'd like it in red with a fretless ebony board. Is there any word on whether Andertons will actually be getting these? (Has there been enough interest?)

[@DuffTV]

Great jam, love it how you don't over do the slide

[@offensive_name6123]

I love this andertones all about the bass its amazing

[@nicolasisaksson1175]

That first jam was awesome. Great work!

[@leesbassment6393]

I would be very interested in a bass like Nathan's.

[@ProfessorOnBass]

Nathan's bass sounds great, yes please to do a run of them.

[@Pachyvito]

We need that 24 fret jazz bass sire in a 4 string o.0 my lord.

[@colinstewart3699]

Amen yes

[@mikeh66]

You guys need to release this.... LIKE YESTERDAY!!!

[@grahamcooper2144]

That opening jam tho: Holy fuck that flowed like a well-greased tiger. Total and utter 'pocket' right there... BASS!

[@bassrob88]

Thanks for posting ,i would love one of the 24 fret 5 string j bass for sure, preferably with a maple neck

[@lowtone1778]

Very lovely bass Nathan... will Sire offer it as a Nathan King Signature? THAT I would absolutely need to have!!

[@AndyRobinson1010]

Great vid, and Nathan's "signature" bass looks incredible, would be really interested to hear if they are available.

[@AllanGildea]

Great players, great lads.

[@JS_bass]

"Nice recovering..." at 12:48...subtle...haha

[@ccjacks3]

If they can do custom or modified Basses, I’d really really like to see a model with a mahogany body, ebony neck, and PJ pickup configuration. It could be the “P3”.

[@andybuhaltor6725]

You two guys should record an album together..it would be phenomenal

[@Fancy_Lebowski]

That 24-fret jazz looks amazing! I would love to get my hands on one of those, then covert it into a 6-string with tight spacing. Slap on some Bartolini's, a Kahler bridge and smaller tuning pegs and I'll have the kind of jazz bass I've wanted for close to 8 years. Short fingers are the reason. Also, maybe a jazz with the trans-blue burst finish? (Like the one on the M series)

[@acme.videos]

Nathan fixed that Aguilar amp "Gangster" style!! Nathan's neck shake and bend at the beginning jam was a chip off the ole Mark King block!!

[@marcusparnell2403]

24 fret 5 string. YES!

[@nooneassuch]

Sire 24 fret 5 string Jazz - whoar - I’ll have one of those!

[@torjusgravirklykken555]

Will you do a review of the new performer fender basses? Looks cool!

[@colinstewart3699]

Yes why are sires going so low profile with the various v model’s seems they would wave the money flag of opportunity, just checking , I’m very interested in a sire v7 4 string Fretless, please advise for those of us who are interested, eh ?

[@dguevara80]

It looks like a Pedulla MVP! Stunning colors

[@DikiBolz]

That Nathan Sire is beautiful! Sign me in for 5 string version!

[@gabzgroove3088]

Just received my V5 fretless 24 from Anderton's. Beautiful bass, Plays great but has a slight cosmetic defect. Hopefully Anderton's will be so kind to offer a discount... They replied. Turns out all those Sire models come with that defect. I'll have to make my own mods.

[@chrispatrick4331]

The 24 fret jazz style Sire would be sweet.

[@jonathangillham571]

I had a v9 2nd edition. I don't know what the meant about rolled edges but they weren't, alas despite trying to get on with it for a couple of years I had to let it go. It looked gorgeous for sure and the preamp was really amazing, but in the end it was like playing a big boiled sweet with sharp edges and I couldn't quite find a tone I wanted despite all the options. Maybe it was years of playing an old fretless bass with very little lacquer on the board, plenty of mwah and warmth that I missed. I just felt the v9 was a bit "synthetic" in comparison....but it looked good!

[@rhinovandriver]

Yes yes yes. I'd love a 24 fret sire jbass

[@BootedSquirrel]

9:45 The sound comes from half and half... Half from one hand, and half from the other! :D

[@josiemaxj763]

You guys rock🤘🤘

[@RebornThroughHate]

That sounds awesome.

[@diegovargas70]

Nathan is a great comedy actor, he make me allways laugh.

[@michaelanthony9068]

What what what ?!? What was that V7 white 24 fret 5 string at the end there? Sire did you a custom??? Heck yea I’m interested!!!

[@RobertHorvat93]

I would enjoy a 24 fret V sire :D

[@michaelb.42112]

You guys are so good (Duh, 1/5 Level 42 !) and SIRE rules !

[@burnhamny]

late to the party here, but fun to watch and some nice playing!

[@craigstephenson6684]

Very interested in a 24 fret 5'er with same specs and colour, with swamp ash. That would be fantastico!

[@gmhogan44]

Yes Sire please make Nathans bass available for purchase!

[@gazfunk]

There are no version 2 fretless basses on the Sire website that I could see. The left handed and fretless all seem to be version 1. Are the ones you have in stock definitely version 2?

[@mrgskye]

I'd like a Nathan bass 👌🏻

[@jfbassman]

Solo entro a los videos a escuchar el jam que se echan estos maes jajaj!

[@KozmykJ]

What's the scale length on the NK 5 Special ? I'm sorted for fretless (SR05) but I'd go one of these Sires if I weren't. I DO have a V7 4 alder/rosewood which sorts my 4 string Jazz tone very nicely. They are amazing value instruments.

[@michaelanthony9068]

It looks like the V10 has a clear coat of varnish or lacquer on the ebony fretboard and the blue M7 (not sure I’ve got the model numbers right) does not. Why would they do that? Would a coating change the tone? I would think it would. Either way I want one.

[@OlettaLiano]

I like the Sire Version 2 Fretless Marcus Miller M7 Swamp Ash 5 String best. I wonder if there's a 6 string version.

[@troyfrost1980]

It's 2019 let's rock the year . Troy Frost

[@danielroos5426]

I want the 24 fret V7 or V9. My only complaint about Sire basses and I own 5 of them. My M7 has 24. Not sure why they limited the other models.

[@grandjaguar]

I purchased this bass immediately by accident right after this video I kid you not. Best mistake of 2019.

[@saintbass01]

I’M interested in a bass like Nathan’s.!!!

[@ducas8937]

How about a mini/micro bass shootout? Taylor gs mini vs kala u bas vs goldtone micro bass vs guild junior bass

[@bassistrobmcdowell]

Yes 24 fret jazz 5!

[@chenaniahharper9432]

Lee just loves some Jaco man 😂 anyone here actually bought one and loves it? I’m trying to get me a V7

[@DarrenJuniper]

Would be interested in 24 fret P7 and a fretless version.

[@abrahamavalos955]

Would the first Sire V9 work as a session player's main fretless bass?

[@sjlacey65]

Nathan Sire - put me down for one!

[@bassatnight]

Just tried to purchase a Sire fretless in the UK, absolutely none available. 3 month (at least) waiting time.

[@craftcrasher89]

Anyone notice the vulfpeck vibe? Likeee

[@Nym1a]

what is that amp buzzing thing it did in the end of the jam? mine also does this and when i smack it it also goes silent xD

[@robertpurdy4452]

It sounded like a noisy fan to me. I've got an amp that needed to be smacked like that until I replaced the fan inside.

[@kingstumble]

If you give this a thumbs down, either (a) you have no interest in bass playing--in which case why are you even watching it or (b) you are jealous as hell.

[@v1rtualnish]

What if I'm just sick of them stroking Sire off, and want them to cover something else

[@kingstumble]

"Stroking Sire off"--hilarious, is it even legal? Andertons must produce more videos than any other company. If you can't find something you like you must be very hard to please.

[@Todesnuss]

Have you ever considered that the reason they are stroking Sire off is because Sire basses are actually good enough to warrant that?

[@v1rtualnish]

@@Todesnuss They might well be, but variety is the spice of life, and there are so many other videos they could have made besides another Sire one, only this time fretless. Like what about a Sounds Like Paul McCartney or cover on of the new range basses like the new Epiphone Embassy Pro. I didn't even thumbs down the video, just trying to champion new stuff. Not like Sire exactly broke the mold by making a fretless bass.

[@Mr.P001]

Where can I get a custom Sire V7 Version 2 5 String bass with 24 frets? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Bigscott4130]

Sire NK Jazz 24?!? O HELLS YES!!!!

[@marcionobrega5117]

Esses baixos são lindos 🤟😎🍾

[@markwhitehouse8740]

loved the opening jam. tabs please

[@asissoev]

Great basses! Can they not print the frets though? I know you'll say Jaco and Gary Willis, but the printed frets make no sense. They are the reason Nathan sounded out of tune. You think they will help you, but instead they are confusing your ears by making you finger between the frets! They also look stupid. On the contrary, a bassist without printed frets (Ibanez SRF, Warwick, etc...) gets an instantaneous IQ boost! (Little do they know, it's actually easier to play without the printed frets!)

[@billyellow4849]

Absolutely agree with you, mate! I tried a lined fretless and was constantly looking at the board, trying too hard to place fingers correctly. With an unlined, nothing to look at, stop thinking and let the ears and musical sense take over!

[@vincentm614]

I have a lined jazz bass and its really a matter of preference. Id personally not feel comfortable with an unlined fretboard. The player should have a choice. Also you experiment with the instrument. And lets face it no one has perfect intonation all the time. As for looks well its really the sound aesthetics are important but sound is more important. Jaco had a beat up jazz bass that sounded great!

[@joshstarkey8883]

What strings do these come with?

[@michealfrancis770]

D`addario`s

Oh, so probably Chromes it sounds like, thanks guys

[@moochincrawdad]

These cats can PLAY!

[@lukaaksentijevic4313]

Good to see young Lee again! I love watching theese videos, but could you, please, start micking up amps instead of going just with DI. DI-ed sound is just a bit too sterile and powerless. Maybe you could just run every bass through the same amp, same settings, everything flat on amp and just mix a bit DI signal with miked amp to give us just a bit more of a natural sound. This way every bass sounds kinda same, and I am using headphones (not high end, but not bad either). This is just an advice. Other than that these videos are just perfect! Funny, interesting, inspirational...and your presenters are great at what they do! Best regards! Keep on rocking! :D

[@primussucks4995]

What's about a Sire - short scale Bass?

[@kilianbauer1905]

It's coming soon

[@v1rtualnish]

You guys should do a sound like Paul McCartney or Roger Waters.

[@jackcasey2825]

It comes from here !!!! *wiggles fingers* 🤣

[@drotha]

24-fret V7? Sign me up.

[@amberplimmer3534]

Have you tried the Cort frettless. For jazz sounds like sex, on slow and comfortable. I have the semi hollow. Incredibly comfortable and has a little punch for the end.
