Sire should thank you for this passionate review! Got one too and still surprised of how good it sounds and how well it's built.
Wow thank you so much! :) They really are aren’t they!
Thank you! So happy I found you and thank you for your honest demo and your exceptional enthusiasm. Think I'll grab one even though I will have to wait. And that tells you something too!
That really is a pretty looking bass and it sounds really nice. Love the way it sounds in the closing tune. Great video Cici !
Great video, Cici! Awesome bass. You playing is mesmerizing!
Thank you so much Vad! That really means the world to hear, I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video, C! A beautiful collection of instruments and great playing. Each one has its own voice but all sound awesome!
Thank you so much Vad, I’m so glad you enjoyed it :) They are all amazing in their own ways aren’t they!
Once again you've knocked it out the ball park. Gorgeous soundscape you've created with that new bass, keep going, you and Dave help keep some of us on our toes as far as playing goes. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much. It really means the world to hear that :) I’m so glad you enjoyed it
It's lovely. I'm always impressed by bassists who have the ability to play basses as a solo instrument, as you do.
Wow, thank you so much :) That really means a lot. I’m so glad you like the bass / video!
Those are the ones you have to reign in when performing songs with a band !
Great looking bass
@@Drum_Beats_Guitar_Riffs Not if they know how to serve the music depending on the situation! :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove And you absolutely do being in Dave's band. !! Thanks for this video.
Gorgeous bass! And terrific playing! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much, that really means a lot :)
Thank you so much! CiCi. I am obsessed with your great review.
Thank you so much Khyle! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)
You are always a big smile. It's fun to watch just for that reason, but you're very good at playing as well. Positive videos are a plus and needed. 😃
Thank you so much Roger, I really appreciate it! :)
Good to see you so happy with your new guitar, looks fantastic, enjoy x
Thank you so much Stuart, I really appreciate that :) x
Yeah it's great bass, love the solo at the end very relaxing piece of music, you make every bass you play a joy to listen too xx 😊🌹
Massive shoutout to you Cici for a super review of that Sire Bass, and what amazing meditative playing in the end wow , so good, but with a good instrument in ones hand it open portals to higher dimensions in musicspace,..Love cheers to you Cici💚💫🕉☯
What an inspiring video! It was really refreshing to see and hear your way of playing with effects. Got a red P5 on the way, cant wait...
I’m so happy to hear that, thank you so much!! Awesome, hope you’re loving the bass :)
Well worth the wait... 👏👏👏👏👏And well deserved on the gift. 🙏💕
Thank you so much David, I’m so happy to hear that :) that’s extremely kind of you!
Love the new bass CiCi !
That’s a cool looking and sounding Bass! I’ve heard a lot of great things about Sire. Nice playing, and congrats Cici! 🤘🤘🤘
They definitely deserve the kind words :) Thank you so much, that really means a lot! :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove 😎Enjoy! 🎶🎶🎶
Brilliant data beautiful base thanks
Literally awesome
That was the best CZcams play out ever! ❤️
Oh my god, U and this bass seem to be a perfect match! Greetz from Austria, Georg
Love the way you play Cici........... When you are doing the..... "Well it goes like this, the fourth the fifth......The minor fall and the major lift"................Listening to you by coincidence and the birth of my 3rd grandchild today inspired me to write a beautiful piece of poetry and music.
Ive been wanting to pull the trigger on a few sires the past few years and keep putting it off, i absolutely love the genuine exitement this instrument clearly has given you, its absolutely sold it to me , off to buy a P and a V
Double Wow! The bass and the Bassist seriously stunning playing ❤️
Thank you so much, it really means a lot to hear that :) I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@CiciVonStrangelove thank you,I first saw you on Andertons channel and was impressed,I’ve been watching your own channel and some of your playing is mesmerising,and very inspiring too,I’ve been playing a long time ( still not very good 😂)I’ve never really stopped playing but you’ve definitely rekindled my passion for bass 🔥👏👏👏 you have a bright future.
@@robertmansell3667 Wow, that’s absolutely awesome, I’m so happy to hear that :) Thank you so much for the kind words, and for taking the time to check out my videos!
Very passionate. Thank you for the review. Don’t know, if the jam-part is really the best piece to hear the ‚true‘ and pure characteristics of this particular bass, but it was very mesmerizing and captivating, so basically I enjoyed this part the most. Well done. And nice bass, it’s on my wish-list for some time.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much Stefan :)
I love my P5R! Great quality build, and sounds great!
As a matter of fact, I installed a set of Radioshop Vintage ‘61 P Bass Pickups into mine, and it sounds even better!
The stock pickups already sound great, but Radioshop’s pickups are a complete game changer!
I ordered one of these today but the 5 string version. I can't wait for it to arrive i'm so excited😅 This is such a good video and review huge props to this, keep on smashing it!✌✌
Ahh amazing!! Congratulations and enjoy 😊 really glad you enjoyed the video too, thank you so much!
Lovely video again Cici. I own a 1st gen Sire V7 jazzbass and absolutely adore is. It's a bit weighty and hasn't got the rolled fingerboard it sounds and plays like a dream and looks great also ( white with red tortois and rosewood fingerboard ). Ridiculous well built and finished instrument. Sire is great. Best.
Thank you so much Erik, I’m really glad you enjoyed it :) Wow I bet you do, they’re lovely! Sire really are great :)
You've swayed me. Been debating whether or not to get one of these. I'll definitely be buying one. Love the roasted maple neck.
A great review and a hautingly lovely piece you played on that stunning P5. There are several Sire's I'm interested in and currently I am tossing it back and forth between the P5 vs D5 which is the original 1951 version of the P-Bass.
Great detailed review and well presented. Lovely looking bass indeed. Defo need to try one!
Thank you so much :) Definitely!
Great review Cc🙌. Your content convinced me to buy a P5 and it turned up yesterday and omg that neck is utterly incredible !! I have 3 american Fender guitars and the P5 neck is 80% as good as the necks on them and they cost from £1650 to £2200 and the P5 only cost me £377 so wtf lol. I cant explain it but how ever its possible I'm just deeply perplexed but hugely blessed l! Anyway thank you so much for the excellent content and keep up the awesome work 🙏💪. Cheers ☺️
It's stunning. I adore the colour and the roasted Maple 😍
It is beautiful isn’t it! :)
Nice bass and great stream. Nice to meet you yesterday. I'll try to catch next. I used to play cello and bass long ago
I've been trying hard to resist buying a Sire Marcus bass because I really don't need another bass. But man, this video is making it near impossible for me not to give in! I mean after all... I don't have a P-style bass. And everyone should have a P bass in their arsenal, right?
Great review!
Great demo!
Btw: That slap thing you did around 13:45 was VERY cool! Definitely gonna try and steal that technique! 😀
Thank you so much! :) I love that technique, that riff is actually from a song called Count Zero by Stu Hamm, if you’d like to learn that exact riff! (I could maybe do a video on it sometime too)
The more I hear these Millers, the more I love them. With everything they have done, it makes them a posh entry level bass. Beautiful aesthetics, attention to detail, and doesn't break the bank.
Entry level? They're on fire, entry price peobably 😅❤
I'm a guitar player and your enthusiasm makes me want to play bass as I love just repeating phrases over and over again 😁
That makes me very happy to hear :)
I was actually looking at the Sire p5 as my next bass! I love that they roast the maple neck too. 😊 it has an awesome sound. That jam at the end was really trippy. 😎 loved it!!! 😍
Wow awesome! It’s funny how things align like that :) I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!!
Picked one up because I was heading into the studio to record a song and wanted a P Bass for that. I can't put it down. It has taken over. I absolutely love this bass.
nice review!!! well done!!
This makes me want to buy this and stop wringing my hands over Fender. I love that they added your video to the Sire site. Nice!
nice bass player and talented. I bought this bass and it should arrive next week. I have a fender jb and always wanted a Precision so I looked at this piece and ordered it. I hope I will be satisfied.
Stunning..... it has Marcus Miller tones you've got a gem there Cici! Congrats!
Absolutely Greg! Thank you so much, that means a lot :)
It sounds great!
I’m really glad you like it :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove Have you ever played a V5?
I totally agree with your point : glossy on the finger board n satin on the back. Cant find any reason to dislike this!! Congrats
Just got mine. It's amazing. Everything you say is true and more. The tuners and knobs feel great and work really really well. Even the string tree is great! The only issue I have with mine is the tortoise shell pickguard is not a true and unique swirl but appears to be some kind of cheap, repeating print
I got the v5 in this finish but the pickguard is black. I actually dig that color combo with the blue.
Now that’s the kind of bass I like! Great Jam, too…
Thank you so much! :)
That bass looked and sounded awesome Cici, especially in the jam at the end of the video. Great work 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much Adam, I’m so glad to hear that, it means a lot! :)
Sire is incredible!
Absolutely! :)
You have some many cool basses 😱
I’m extremely lucky! :)
Woman, you rock!!! Cheers from Brazil
It is definitely an eye catcher. I have a question about the gloss fingerboard finish. Have they applied finish over the fretted neck? Like Fender American pro or the old standard series with maple necks? Poly finish goes on so thick and only leaves a thin sliver of fret material to play on after the leveling and crowning process. It is not an easy thing to detect in the photos. Thank you
I adore my P5. I've got the sunburst. With flats it's amazing. Wondering if you've tried the P5r model with the rosewood fingerboard and vintage pickup?
Loved every bit! Jam was epic
nice playyy :)
Excellent showcase. I've wanted to try one of these, but they're nowhere to be found in the States.
Thank you so much! :) Oh really? That’s a shame, hopefully they make an appearance soon!!
That whole piece with the volume pedal was killer. When i was a kid I watched Metallica with Cliff on bass do something like that, but with a dump truck full of distortion also. I think I prefer yours these days. Cool stuff neat demo.
Original stuff! Keep it up!
Great bass
Wow... An amazing review of the honest instrument built by genuine hands.
Great 👍
Would you share exactly what pedals and effects did you use. Plz reply in pinpoint way if you get some time.
Many thanks
Cheers
"IT'S ALIVE"...🤣😎👍
Just a beautiful bass.
Sire is doing musicians right😎👍
Sounds great, looks eatable and definitely wearable 😉😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
You are a phenomenal bassist. I appreciate the information and playing you presented in this video. It helps to make a hard decision, a little easier. Thank you.
Beautiful in every way!
Lol I am a 60 year old that’s been. Playing for 3 years and I have exactly the same bass and it is my Number 1. Very nice review and enjoy the bass
Awesome!! Thank you so much :)
You really do have a special talent.
Thank you so much Ben, that’s so kind of you to say, and really means a lot to hear :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove well it’s deserved. I always say you get out what you put in and the work you’ve put the work in shows , that’s why I continue to watch.
Your creativity is above anything I could imagine about bass as instrumental posibilities. Ambient music is my preferred style for a decade, but never heard ambient music played on a bass guitar. Oh my God, you are so impressive. Like Bruno Sanfilippo's Cromo or Ambessence piano & drones. Mesmerizing. Keep on playing in this meditative relaxing style. I wish you having records. I'd be your first buyer.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, it really does mean the world to hear that. I’m so glad you enjoyed it :) I’ve been planning to upload some of these jams to Bandcamp, so I could do the same with this one if you like (no charge) :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove Please do it. I suppose that I am not the only one who would like to start a rainy day with a coffee while listening your music and planning his day to come. This is my early morning ritual in my office. I love cloudy dark mornings in a warm place while listening music and enjoying life.
Please let us know what kind of gear is used on this record? Thank you in advance.
@@ret01101 In that case I will! :) That’s a lovely way to start the day and I’m so happy to be part of it. Thank you so much!
@@ret01101 A Line 6 HX, Ashdown ABM600 amp, Mesa Boogie cab with EVs, and Sire P5-4 bass!
Really good review. All your points are high value. The pickup thing maybe harmonics. Warm generally is the human way of hearing and describing it. For P it's a great quality to have.
There was one in stock in a shop nearby but it was so heavy that I put it down without even inspecting it! May have to give another one a try.
Hey Cici...I just love your excitement about this bass. Fun to see a musician so enamored with a P bass. Think I first say on an Andertons video. Did I?
What is it about the bass that makes us want to own many? I've just converted from mandolin to bass. Was in a shop and they had a 2003 Fender P bass and I played it it spoke deeply to me. Went back the next day to trade a Squire 70s Vibe Jazz and an my first beat-up mandolin. Square trade tit for tat even-steven. Loving the simplicity and feel and neck and sound of it. I understand your zeal and elan for the P bass. You sound real real good groovin' on it.
There’s still something so appealing about a really well-fettled passive P-bass with nickel rounds on it.
Fantastic playing! 🤘
I recently bought this bass guitar for my project studio! Great bass too! Curious what was your signal chain used in this video? Great demo of the bass!
Yeah, I played a bunch of basses at Guitar center today. I noticed that I preferred the satin finish on the back of the neck. A glossy finish felt like it was too sticky for me.
Lovely piece at the end, thanks for sharing! Could I ask which pedals you're using to create this ambient scape?
I-m not too sure, but I think she likes it. Hard to tell!!!!! WOW, sounds amazing. Nice little piece you play there, very nice. I was seriously considering a new Yanaha, might have to reconsider!!!! It really sounds and looks great in all the colors!!!! Gonna have to see them in persaon at the shop. What kind of strings did it come with?
You've convinced me that the green one is the way to go I think 😁 I was gonna go tobacco but I really like this color, in the photo it doesn't look as good but I like this. 👌🏼😄
Hello Hello, I too am a fellow Sire guitar owner! Loving it already! :-D
Hello!! Woohoo amazing, I’m so glad you’re loving it :D
I just saw your video, and it’s awesome! I really like your style of playing as well. I’m curious, what strings do you use?
Thank you so much Michael, I’m really glad you like it :) I use D’addario 95-40s , sometimes Ernie Ball or Rotosound as well (and sometimes 100/105s depending on how downtuned the bass needs to be)
Amazing 😁I had one of the older Sire model and they were awesome. Thinking about P-Bass now and I think I will give it a shot. Any first thing you would recommend to update or it is just good to go as it is?
Awesome!! There’s nothing I would change on this bass. I love the sound and feel (and look) of it, but I know that could come down to personal preference. It’s definitely worth trying one out and seeing what you think :)
Try a G&L Tribute series bass as well, LB-100 or SB-2 (I own the latter).
Thank you for this great video. I think I will buy this although they are out of stock for 15 weeks on Thommann. No stores stock this where i am. Is this a heavy bass ? Edit: I see the answer now. It's not weighty. How is the neck for people with smaller hands ?
what an awesome bass! love the color you chose
It’s amazing isn’t it!! Glad you like it too :)
Would this be good as a second bass upgrade from a cheap Ibanez beginner bass? Also for joining a first band? :)
Veeeeeery nice 👌🏻
Thank you so much Russ! That means a lot coming from you :)
I considering parting with my fender player precision series for this bass, any suggestions?
I'm a guitarist looking to learn bass and these are super tempting. Its hard to go past how much there is on it for the pricepoint.
Same here. Trying to decide.....Fender or Sire? Sire is winning, imo.
Hi Cici - by any chance, have you had the opportunity to play the Sire MM D5 Alder with the single Tele-style pickup? I have my eye on this one. Love and appreciate your content. Cheers!
Hey Brian! I haven’t yet, but I’d like to! Sorry about that. If you do get one, I’d love to know your thoughts on it :) Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m really glad you like the channel! It means a lot to hear that.
Is that my old space station pedal Cici, sounds good. 👍
It is indeed! I’ll be demoing it very soon, I can’t wait :) absolutely love it, as well as the Polara!
Charmed!
They have treated the back of the neck but its matt. Interesting full review.
Are you listening Fender?
Fantastic tones! What echo and other effects are you using on the beginning to outlier ?
Sounds fantastic. Good for the younger musicians to know you don't have to spend thousands to sound good! Just lots of practice!!
Absolutely! :) I have another video called ‘£20 can buy a great bass’, where I demo a jazz bass I got for… £20! And I spoke about this very point :)
Brilliant! I definitely going to buy one for sure..🤙🏼
that neck is amazing
nice!
Thank you!! :)
I need to try one! I’ve heard though that the low end is lacking a little. I can’t quite tell without headphones on.
Definitely not lacking in my experience! But it’s worth trying one and seeing what you think, if you’re able to at some point :)
It's so freakin pretty 😭
It’s a bit ridiculous isn’t it!
Wait how you’re in my recommendation, but great content anyways loved it
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)
Yeah that’s surly my next bass.
Awesome! :)
Do you ever play that bass in a band/live situation? Keep up the great work!
