Product Description
The Sire V7 Alder-5 New Gen is a modern 5-string Jazz-style bass that blends classic looks with serious player-focused upgrades. Featuring an updated neck profile, rolled fingerboard edges and stainless steel frets, it is built for smooth, effortless playability. Add in Sire’s acclaimed preamp with simple active/passive switching and you have a versatile workhorse that can handle everything from tight studio sessions to energetic live gigs.
This Yellow Swirl finish model stands out visually while delivering the articulate, punchy tone that has made the V7 series a favourite with bassists worldwide. The New Gen refinements make it even more comfortable and reliable, whether you are laying down subtle grooves or digging in for aggressive slap and fingerstyle lines.
New Gen Neck for Effortless Playability
The V7 Alder-5 New Gen neck has been redesigned around a comfortable C-shape profile that feels familiar under the hand and easy to navigate across all five strings. Combined with Sire’s Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges, it offers a broken-in, played-for-years feel straight out of the box, helping you play longer with less fatigue.
Refined Active/Passive Preamp Layout
Sire have streamlined the V7 electronics for quicker, more intuitive control. The New Gen layout uses a simple four-knob configuration with a push/pull active/passive switch, removing the coil tap switch found on earlier models. This keeps everything clear and accessible on stage, letting you move from powerful active tones to organic passive sounds in an instant.
Stainless Steel Frets for Long-Term Reliability
Stainless steel frets offer a slick playing surface and exceptional durability, standing up to years of bending, vibrato and heavy gigging with minimal wear. They also contribute to a crisp, defined attack that helps your lines cut through the mix, whether you are playing with fingers, pick or slap techniques.
Striking Yellow Swirl Aesthetic
The Yellow Swirl finish gives this V7 Alder-5 a bold, eye-catching look that is perfect for players who want their bass to stand out as much as their playing. It retains the familiar offset Jazz-style silhouette while adding a modern, custom-shop vibe that looks the part under stage lights and in the studio.
Features
- New Gen Neck Design - The updated C-shape neck with Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges delivers a smooth, comfortable feel across all five strings, making fast runs, stretches and complex lines easier to execute.

- Distinctive Yellow Swirl Finish - The Yellow Swirl finish gives the bass a unique, custom look that stands out on any stage, while still retaining the classic lines and ergonomic comfort associated with the V7 series.
