How did you get to know Sire Bass and what is your first impression when you play Sire bass for the first time?
I first heard of sire basses when I found out that Marcus Miller was endorsing the new bass. I suddenly saw that fender stopped making his jazz bass so I went on YouTube to find out more about sire basses. I heard a couple of demos so I said to myself that I had to get this bass. If Marcus gave it a thumbs up than I knew for sure it had to be good.
I ordered one & I simply loved it. The sound, construction, & the feel.
When and why did you start playing bass?
Like most bass players, I started out as a drummer in 1976-77. But the bass guitar for some reason always fascinated me. I started playing bass in the fall of 1979.
