I was looking for a new bass, above beginner entry yet plausible to play either in a live gig or studio recording. This is money well spent, big shoutout to the team at Thomann (primarily Jonas) for recommending me this beauty after spending much time investing in many various bass reviews and what not.
I would never of known about the Sire brand due to it not being sold in my country (New Zealand). So yes, there was a bit of apprehension not being able to see this in person, but once she arrived, I knew I made the right choice.
This bass sounds ALIVE!
