I bought (from Andertons - you're welcome) a Sire V2 P-bass - sight unseen, took a total flyer on it. I trusted these guys earlier video reviews. Can NOT put it down. Beautifully made, massive tonal range, plays like a dream. Completely surpassed my expectations. Shockingly good for the money. Just get one.
Oh wow great to hear, that would be my next one I would buy 🔥 I have two Squiers, one p bass one jazz bass, I just bought one of these V7 basses, if the p bass is anything like this one I'm sure I'll love it! 🤤
There's something so charming about Nathan and Lee's relationship. The mutual respect and affection is so apparent. They're clearly having a lot of fun without the video coming across as self-indulgent (like some other videos on this channel)
I bought a V7 in this line, the black with maple fingerboard 🤤 I'm glad I could find mine! They're hard to find apparently, had to go to eBay for mine. But I absolutely love this instrument, I mainly play passive right now anyway this bass sounds so so good, it's like my 70's vintage modified squier bass with Seymour Duncan pickups swapped in, but so so so much better 😍 especially the low B string, such clarity and sustain in the low low notes, this bass is awesome and worth every penny
Absolutely love mine. Bit the bullet and bought a V7 Vintage from you guys, and I don't like not trying a guitar or bass first. But I'm glad I took the risk. Feels and sounds amazing for that price.
@@louierubio Yes, it's got a great low end and the pre-amp gives it such a wide variety of tones and sounds. Definitely the most versatile bass I've played in this price range. I'll be buying a second as a backup for sure! 😁😁
Matt Black wow interesting. Yea might start w the V7 second gen ash maple 5 string. Probably just a placebo effect but it sounds better to me than the V9 or V10 or the vintage or any of the alder bodies.
I believe the vintage ones have thinner necks over the current (v2) V7's as well. That said, damn, we love Lee. This channel has become so great to us bass players.
You guys have such great jams, whether you're both on bass or like today Nathan on guitar. You both sound great. That, *and* we get to learn about cool gear.
Great guitar playing. I’m a guitarist so not into bass but yes I know he’s in Level 42. Can u bring Nathan on to the guitar channel to teach that intro? That was some tasty funk. FYI great bass playing too. What distortion pedal was Nathan using?
i know this isn't related to this particular video, but PLEASE make a video about the road worn telecasters with that new limited addition metallic purple one, I think it would be a really cool video, and i'm very curious to see how it stacks up against the almighty Danish Pete's purple beast. also, great job on this video :-)
I know it's in his blood, but Nathan is a really mean fretless player, I his brother is the best player of all time, but Nathan sells himself short, his guitar solos are cool too, and he's above himself, well done boys, entertaining as ever. Long may you continue.
I'd love to see you two do a blindfold challenge with basses. Fender vs Squier, Gibson vs Epiphone, G&L USA vs Tribute, etc.. I'd love to watch and listen to that.
Bloody hell 2! That intro jam was just slamming. I'm thinking if you want a killer funk guitar take that's in time, let the bassist do it. Small suggestions (take or leave), I'm blasting the jam and then the talking comes in it knocks me over. Maybe just lower and compresses the talking stuff and let the music shine. Outro jam at the end switching instruments would have been really fun even it wasn't technically perfect. That intro alone makes this the best video I've seen on Andertons ever. Will Lee and Steve Lukather would both dig this one. Huge kudos to everyone involved.
Last summer I was talikng with a luthier about these basses and he told me that a common problem of Sire basses is you need to put new batteries very often in order to keep the brightness and to sound well. Is it true? Does this new generation improve that problem (in case it was true)? Greetings from Spain!!
Pablo Ruiz Fernández I’ve had mine for about 2 years now and haven’t had to replace the batteries. I do take care of the battery life when I do play though (switching to passive mode or just unplugging whenever I’m off stage during church service) and I haven’t had to replace or noticed any tone drop but I guess it’ll come soon haha
Marcus Miller is not from Croydon, though I did have to check Wikipedia and I was greatly disappointed. I will still buy one of his basses this week, that mid sweep @ 11:00 though lol
So Nat how about Andertons unofficial funk band ? :)golden fingers. Other basssist is awesome. Came for the v7 but replayed first few minutes 50 times not more...
I think he made a mistake saying that the black face plates means its an alder bass. I just ordered an ash vintage V7 from sire directly and the face plate is black. :| is it possible that they sent me the wrong one?
I bought my new Sire last december. A V7 Vintage with natural color and black pickguard. It says that its a "V7 Vintage Ash" I'm quite confused if its a V7 Vintage ash or alder or swamp ash. Im asking because there's a 100$ difference from alder to ash. Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks Bass friends!
