#Andertons #sirebass #marcusmiller - Hudba
I’m new to the channel so I thought Nathan was just playing Mark King stuff but when he said Marcus Kingus at the end it hit me… With a quick research I found out that Nathan is the younger brother of the legendary bass player Mark King! Mark got me started playing bass and I grew up listening to Level42. If any of you guys see this I just want to thank him! Thank you for bringing color and texture to my life! Your work made me who I am today and I’m grateful for it.
I love that he couldnt tell the difference between that basses at one point . proves that they're good quality even when they go that cheap
I quite like seeing the Captain doing bass videos, mostly because he offers a good outsider perspective on the instrument. Good little surrogate for the parts of the audience who aren't as knowledgeable about basses.
I'm in the US and researching my first bass. I've played guitar for years but I really want to start experimenting with a bass to record some ideas. I don't want to break the bank but want certain features. This video did an excellent job and solidified my decision to get the M2. Everything you said is exactly what made this video relevant to me.
The Sire V3 5-String was my first bass purchase and I can't be happier. These videos definitely helped me decide my purchase.
Great review as usual guys! Love Sire Basses, been wanting and following them for at least a year, maybe close to two now. Great seeing Lee in a Bass video too! Man, those look and sound so good I knew, but this review was great in quick comparison and also tone changes while playing... not many out there doing that kind of review so well! Dude playing was throwing out some great groove (Nathan?). Cheers Team and Sire!
SIRE, we want a P3!
YESSSSSS
YAS
Yes!!!!
With just the p pickup, not a pj
@@cbrunhaver exactly
That was just incredible! Looks like he's playing his first bass on Xmas morning.
It is awesome the amount of sounds you can get out from this bass!!!
Some of Nathan's best playing here. This makes me want to drive up to Andertons and part ex my Squier!
just ordered one of the vintage V7s from you guys, will literally be sitting at the door with anticipation until it gets here lol
Yes, the captain's back with the basses! Love it! And I prefer the tone of the V3 over the V7!
I own a black 5 string V3. I love it. I play in a little cover band and it sounds great with this Carvin tube bass amp hooked up to two 2x10 Hartke cabs or my Ampeg BA 210 I use for practice. I put some Rotosound swing bass strings on. Great tones.
Just picked a V3 up today, I wasn't even intending to get one as I dont care for signature/artist basses or active controls, but its an incredible bass for the money. Once I figured out what all the knobs did, I couldn't believe the variety of tones and the preamp is killer. The pickups are excellent as well. Thin body, decent weight, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges (one of the nicest and most comfortable necks Ive ever played) bone nut, steel bridge...this thing is a steal for $399. Thats only $100 more than the junk Squier Affinity basses sell for. The V3 is better than any MIM Fender Ive owned or played and darn close to American made Fenders that sell for 4 times as much. I have zero complaints, awesome bass.
Bought my first bass a couple of months ago, really wish I'd known about these. Almost tempted to sell it and get one
Reunited and it feels so good!
That M2 looks like it would be a great metal bass. Kinda wanting to get the 5 string version of it to test it out! thanks for showing the viewers these amazing basses!
Gentlemen,
Nice job! Details, details, details....very important. And appreciated.
Occasionally (particularly with a B), you might want to spend a little more time with the 5th string, slowly playing and tweaking the basses eq. B strings can be a problem area, as we know.
If I wasn't in the USA (and dealing with Sire's US rep), you'd have my orders!
That aside, I'm a Jazz bass lover and have owned other brands with mahogany bodies, and am sold on the V3. In fact, first one is on it's way. The V3 will share the stage with my $3300 Warrior Bella '62 and I wouldn't be surprised if the V3 got more stage time than the Bella.
Again, nice work.
Hey Lee please be more often in the bass videos, it is amazing to have a great musician from another instrument checking out and talk from a total other perspective :) maybe try out to have the other Lee on a guitar show when Rob is busy for example i bet the guitar players will benefit from the different point of view too :)
The V3 and the M2 are indeed the best basses when it comes to value for money. I hope I'll be able to get my hands on a V3, or maybe I'll snatch one when it comes to my country
It's incredible, I use to play a Fender MIM Jazz bass untill this bass arrived and now I choose the V3 much more, even the finish on the neck and body are much superior than a Fender.
Always will love Lee (Anderton) in the bass videos
Just received my V3 in Natural Brown...the batteries needed to be physically pressed down into the compartment to activate the preamp, but that was a relatively easy fix, and the tone of these pickups/preamp is amazing at the price point...I did not have the dirt on the fretboard, but I prefer the strings run through the bass, so I swapped strings to flatwound and what a difference.
also, the dealer in California, Pitbull Audio, are excellent and extremely responsive and accommodating. Once they learned of the issue, they offered to exchange the bass...I decided to keep the bass, and they said if I'd like to take it to a Tech for repair, THEY would pay for it...beat that! The string tree was also missing one of it's screws right out of the box, but that's got zero effect on how I enjoy this bass guitar. Bravo Sire...and thank you for high quality instruments at anyone-can-afford-one prices...
i love the way the two of them interact with each other, like an old couple :D haha rock on
You guys should have your own show, very entertaining
I bought a V3 because I don't like lacquered necks and binding. It's blooming excellent after a decent set up!
make a vid about the new fender rumble studio 40 amp and its big brother, the rumble stage 800!
excited since these are hella unique
I tell you, the V7 works excellent in a rock/punk setting too! Especially with a compressor pedal.
Love 'em. Fretless version next? Also how about a P3 but with a wider(Precision type) neck?
V3 is a killer. I definitely buy one!
Wow! What an insight! I'd never even heard of Sire basses before. The Captain mentioned hoping that Sire would make electric guitars. I know you don't sell this brand, but I'd love to see you review an Indio guitar from Monoprice. I just picked up a Strat-style Indio for $189 US that, to me, seems every bit as much guitar as my MIM Fender Strat. Keep up the great work!
The 2nd gen V3's have the same tuners as the V7s now from what it looks like. Along with a lot of other new features
V3 Amaziiing and Oooverwhelming...!!
I just saw Nathan play here in Copenhagen this week. He was sick!
Simto Sick is an understatement!! 40+yrs? I can only imagine!🤨🎸❤️🎶
I want both the v7 and the v3. V7 for the Marcus tone and v3 for the more traditional jazz bass tone. Both sound phenomenal in their own ways.
Very good instruments for that price point, I've seen rubbish secondhand bass guitars being sold for more! I'm a guitar player and might get one just to noodle around on and get real bass rather than just the programmed stuff I'm currently using on my compositions. All my budget at the moment for new guitar type things is going on a Takamine Electro-Acoustic, but I'll be looking at buying a bass later in the year. I especially like the more modern look version and the 24 frets, if the 5 string is under £300 then that might be ideal for me. Nice playing by the way.
Clap!!!!Clap!!!...Congratulations...yes...nice JOB.
Great review and comparison. Question: Does the particular burst V7 in the video have an alder body, or is this particular one ash? I'm trying to decide between the two body tone woods and I really like the sound of the V7 in this video. Your kind reply would be appreciated. Thanks!
I would love for you guys to do a demo/review of 6-string basses in the up to £1500 prize range. Like the Schecter Stilletto Studio 6 or the ESP Ltd B206sm. Maybe Ibanez and Warwick?
I’m in the market and my budget is roughly £1200, but there is very little to be found in that category on CZcams. And the local shops here in the south of Sweden has got nothing to try out, so I’m having quite a difficult time deciding...
Thanks for a wonderful channel, and keep up the good work!
Andreas
Helsingborg, Sweden
about to order a v3 in white once I get paid. I currently use an ibsnez sr405eqm as my main bass and it's great, quite similar to the m series in a way, but with coil splitting. it's a great bass but I'm looking for a more traditional jazz bass style bass so that's why I chose the V3, plus, I can still have the bright, higher output active sound if I want it
Good stuff
"The World is Changing...!!" and I'm Agree with that. THis Sire V3 is a "SuperStar Down to Earth" Bass-Guitar
When Lee said £379 my head nearly exploded! I’d made the assumption that the higher-end of the two would be about £700 and I thought that was a decent deal!
They all sound nice....
Please make started packs with these basses, I know they would be priced higher than the squier packs but this is a way more versatile bass
I've seen your fairly extensive esp/ltd bass range and I can't find many good quality (let alone your calibre) reviews. Could you do one?
Worth pointing out that if you prefer the satin over glossy neck the bass is cheap enough that you could buy a high end one and a cheap one with a satin lacquer neck and just swap them and the components over. You can pay almost £250 for a nice neck in some places!
I went into Andertons yesterday and purchased the V3 (first gen) at the insanely discounted price of £199, this as a result of the second gen now being released. I've been playing drums for over forty years and dabbled with guitar and keyboards (all gigging) too. This is my first bass as I don't know enough to know what I really want or need in a bass. But, what I do know is this is just an outstanding instrument, regardless of the price. In fact, I bought the bass, along with a light case and a strap, both discounted and given all the support and service I received in helping me decide I almost felt guilty at paying so little. So my advice, if you know what you want in a bass, great, but if you don't you will not regret buying this, and what's more if you get in quick there are some old gen bargains to be had...
hold on to it. Cuz the prices are higher for these basses now.
Hey!
Im planning to start bass, and Im looking for a beginner bass with a sharp sound, which could be used to play metal rock or punk.
I would like to know if this bass is good or not
Write your recommendations!
Will there ever be a p3 at some point?
how big of a difference is between the m2 and the v3? which do you prefer?
Hi guys. Is it happen to know what would be the action for V3? I mean, what action did you set up (I know it's a preference but still)? Regards.
As much as I love the V7, the V3 has that sound and tone for a cheaper price. But cheap doesn’t always mean “cheap.” Sire did a remarkable job on the V3. They WILL fly off the shelves!😊
So if i just want the sound should i just get the sire v3?
I bought a fender squier three months ago but I should have bought this one
should I get myself a m2 or a v3? :D I am an absolut beginner... dont know what to pick :D
Get well soon, Lee!
The mahogany body of the V3 seems to be the the main difference between the Sire V7, but there are other differences as well, probably less expensive pickups. Choice is good.
Hi. Is the V3 hardware really that bad as I often read about on forums? Or equivalent to like Squier’s?
I may have missed it but how does the weight compare between the V3 and the V7?
is it possible to achieve "sterling/stingray-ish" sound with the M2 or M7?
Would u rather pick v3 sire or squier VM jazz bass?
Which one is better, yamaha trbx305 or sire v3 ?
Guys, you should do All About The Semi Hollow (electric) Bass
I can feel that 'more contemporary' bass calling to me. My wallet is sensing danger.
It's badass. No joke.
Do the batteries get empty when the switch is on the passive mode BUT the jack is plugged in ?
I just got a V3 and it's buzzing a lot is that normal or do I have to get it set up ?
IMO there's not a big difference between any of the Sire basses sound wise, I have a V7 purchased last July and it's a great bass for the money. I just wish they would make one with the neck a bit wider at the nut and smaller string spacing, oh and I had to get a ramp made, my fingers kept falling down between the string. Mind you it was hard to get used to after playing a 79' MusicMan for 38 years ! Well done Sire.
This bass is very good, but my passive pickup stopped working but my active does. Anyone know why and how to fix it?
saw this 24 hours ago can't stop thinking about getting one
davegetsspam which one?
V3 4string AWH
Same. A v3 5 string in antique white, and a m2 4 string in transparent black satin. Calling to me hardcore. Lol
Well, if you ever change the business plan to hand out free Sire basses, I'd love to get my hands on that M2 or it's 5 stringed sibling. ;)
But thanks for the demo! Much appreciated!
I want a bag of Salt and Vinegar chips with my free bass as well.
It will be nice to do a blindfold test with Nathan
I've had a V3 for 3 months and one of the pickups has stopped working
going to go order me a V3 right now I think...
Sire, do the V1 passive only :) and the P1 (one pickup) passive only :)
When the battery dies, i can still use it in passive mode?
Hi everyone which one is better for oldschool and funk
Should I get the m2 or v3
What's the difference between the M2 and the M3 from Sire?
Damn that guy can play
Japalloo His older brother is the great Mark King!
Kevin Lynch well, just like the album; running in the family.😊🎸🎶
He's just as good a guitar player---annoyingly!
kingstumble He’s that for sure! Have you seen Nate play bass???? You should check out his band Frost. They have some stuff up here on CZcams.
Kevin Lynch I’m gonna check them out!😊
What gauge strings does the v3 come with ?
which bass cab was he going through during the little noodle solos, the DG or the MB? I didn't notice the DG head until later on, sounded surprisingly good..
nvm answered my own question. MB cab
What string come with the v3
The difference with these is you have one of the best bass players in the world guiding design. That does two things, makes the bass awesome and gives the customer a huge amount of trust knowing that Marcus Miller would not put his name on a crap bass. He can chose his endorsers.
I'm looking at a black M3 right now myself. Hmmm… Veeeery tempting, indeed…
Did you end up getting one and if so, how do you feel about it 2 years in?
what amps do you use?
these use single coils, do they hum?
Personally I prefer the V7, but the again I do own a V7 V string in swamp ash natural finish :-D .
And they say CZcams is free...well, not when you watch videos such as these !
Haha. Only free when you freeze your bank account
I know its sound crazy but i prefer v3. I had to chose betwin a second-hand sire v7 and a new V3 for the same money and chose the v3
Adrian Darie any hints on Why? Thinking of getting one used...
Adrian Darie yea v3 has a deep sound and the price difference is crazy for how good v3 sounds.
I’d buy a single pickup 5 string Presicion in this price range in a heartbeat!
Agreed. But 4 string, and only if they use a p bass neck not a jazz neck. For 5 I love the v3.
V3 or M2...which one better...?
Ok...there is one camera angle during Lees knob fiddling that looks a bit sketchy...hahaha!
When they do a 30" or 32" scale, I'll buy it!
Fraser McFadyen they probably won't
Fraser McFadyen I asked Sire this question, they said they are currently not planning to...
Have you played the Chownys? Killer feel & tone for a 30"....
Sire v3 or Squier vintage modified?
Great sounding basses. Hate the headstock
Any one know the string spacing on the 5string v3?
I like lacquered necks :D
My V3 5 string is off the hook! Never played such an amazing bass. Blows away my Fender Deluxe at half the price.
Sire has driven a dagger to the heart of Fender with these basses. Fender must be shitting bricks.
I wasnt aware they were making these basses.i got my v7 in 2015 and havent looked back.NOW I WANT AN M3.Best playing bass i have owned since a peavey dyna bass that i sold in the early 90s.I went back to guitar center 2 days later to get it back and they had sold it😭 But my v7 made up for it.Now im looking at that m3.
I just purchase a V3 5 string and I wouldn't go as far as to say it blows away my Fender 5 string Deluxe but nonetheless it's a great sounding bass for the price.
I’d be interested to know how the V3 stacks up against the Ibanez SR300, or the Yamaha TRBX.
Swodeyem lol just listed the 3 basses my ass nik is torn between to buy for metal production. Heard the jazz bass has a good presence for metal tracking but dam IDK WHAT TO GET of the 3
Same dilemma here. Which one did you guys get?
@@Hifcrea M2 or Ibanez sr
Sire v3
I ordered a sire m2 white pearl, is my first bass and i like a lot of music like blues, rock, metal and others.
I hope i made a good choice
How did it go?
And I'm like.. Happy Days 😊
