Excellent quality, chambered / semi-acoustic Bass Guitar

Outfox the Fox 02.12.2024

A 'chambered body', would probably be a better description than 'semi-acoustic'. Design based on a Godin A4, with a piezo saddle pick up, Sire's own Vividx pre-amp and 3 band EQ. Beautiful spruce, mahogany, rosewood build quality, very solid.

A standard 5 string with low B was supplied, but I asked Thomann to set it up with a high C, as I play mainly Folk. Thomann replaced the nut to accommodate the new stringing and restrung with Warwick Red Bronze. Set up very well, good string action, with no intonation issues. Sire's 'edgeless' fretboard is a delight.

Plays really nicely, particularly with the higher strings (which is what I wanted). Clear tone, with a lot of adjustment via the EQ. I was looking for the (advertised) 'upright acoustic Bass' resonance, which is what it delivers.

In summary, you get (very) near Godin features and quality, for a third/quarter of the price. Sire deliver what they promise!

Basse electro-acoustique 2.0

G.J 30.11.2024

Je suis l'heureux pocesseur de cette chouette electro 5 cordes.
5 mois d'attente, sans regret!!
1ere essai: impressionner par le manche très fin, rapide. Un son piezzo parfait.
J'ai eu juste un souci de différence de niveau entre les cordes, notamment le B grave, rétabli après un ponçage rigoureux au niveau sillet du chevalet.
J'ai rapidement changé de tirant de corde (trop costaud à mon goût) =) 40/120.
Plus qu'à installer un repose pouce par la suite et elle sera topisime 🥰
