    Sire Z3 Bass Review

    SIRE Z3 BASS REVIEW: My Sire Z3 arrived at the beginning of this week after a long and winding path to get that EBMM Stingray tone without having to sell my kidney.

    Does Sire dye their roasted necks?

    So I had a V7 for a couple years and ended up cracking the wooden battery cover in half one day. The black “ebony” cover turned out to be some sort of light colored wood that was dyed black on the surface. I’ve since noticed inconsistencies in the coloring of Sire V8 and V10 necks. Do we think...

    Sire p7 gen. 2 vs Yamaha BB435

    Hi folks, I’m choosing between those 2, 5 string, PJ, unused(new) basses. Would you please say which one of those is best bang for the buck? Quality, versatility, weight, neck, etc. P.S. BB735 is much more expensive in Europe, so please don’t suggest it.

I am terrible at playing 5’s but it was a blast to play. It was acoustically really resonant even unplugged...
