    Awesome Sire bass review, my preference is the Ash body and maple finger board, ash tone wood body captures the entire tonal spectrum and the maple finger board is very durable for all weather conditions.

    My first Sire, P7-5 str, Alder/Rswd, White arrives Tuesday. Was going to order the V3-5 but I have few J5 basses. I have a '08 MIA standard, P5, Cola/Maple. Also a couple Carvin J5's and a Valenti Super J5 and MIM AD-J5. Just have to try a Sire to compare at these great prices. Thanks for the review. Peace, e.

      Truthfully depends on what slap tone you’re looking for. “Standard” slap tone would be V7. “Modern” slap tone would be M7. “Vintage” slap tone would be P7 in mostly neck pickup position.
