At the heart of the V7 Alder-4 is its active/passive electronics, giving you the flexibility to switch between vintage-flavoured tones and more sculpted, contemporary sounds with a simple push/pull. The alder body keeps things familiar and balanced in the mix, while the Yellow Swirl finish adds a bold visual twist that makes this bass as eye-catching as it is musical.
From beginners stepping up to their first serious instrument to working players needing a reliable, gig-ready bass, the Sire V7 Alder-4 New Gen offers a huge amount of performance and spec for the money. It is a bass designed to be played hard, night after night, without getting in your way.
Updated New Gen Neck
The V7 New Gen neck has been carefully reshaped for easier playing, with a comfortable profile that feels fast under the fingers and supports long sessions without fatigue. Combined with Sire’s rolled fingerboard edges, it offers a broken-in, played-for-years feel straight out of the box, ideal for intricate lines and smooth position shifts.
Simplified Active/Passive Preamp
Sire have removed the coil tap switch and refined the control layout to a simple four-knob system with a push/pull for active/passive switching. This makes it quicker and more intuitive to dial in your sound on stage, letting you move from classic passive tones to powerful active shaping in an instant.
Stainless Steel Frets
Stainless steel frets provide a slick, glassy feel under the fingers and exceptional longevity, standing up to years of bending, vibrato and heavy gigging. They also help notes ring out with extra brightness and definition, keeping your lines clear in busy mixes.
Striking Yellow Swirl Finish
The Yellow Swirl finish gives this V7 Alder-4 a bold, custom-shop look that really pops under stage lights. It is the perfect choice for players who want all the classic Sire playability and tone, but with a unique aesthetic that sets their bass apart from the crowd.
