Very nice fretless with plenty of tone options
codesenberg 24.07.2021
Well-built nice looking fretless bass for a reasonable price.

Pros:
- Active/Passive electronics: no need to worry about running out of batteries. Although, I personally like active mode's tone a bit better, but they're both quite good.
- Nice ergonomics and reasonable design: never had any pains playing this bass whatsoever. Bridge has simple design and makes action/intonation adjustments a breeze. Easy to change strings and batteries too.
- Multiple modes for each pickup: single, parallel and in series. I personally like single mode in the neck and parallel in the bridge, then blend them 50/50-ish. Single mode adds a bit of clarity and parallel mode gives nice strong low end.
- Tuning stability is also good, but you might have to tighten machine heads' screws.

Cons:
- Truss rod adjustment is done at the head and access to it is obstructed with A string. Would've been perfect bass if not for this flaw.

Some disappointment in this Sire M7 fretless bass
vyras 30.12.2023
When I opened the box containing my Sire M7 fretless five string bass I was disspopinted to discover that the bass wad completely unplayable because the action(strings) over the entire fretboard was completely flat. I went to adjust the truss rod only to find that the plate covering the truss rod had the plate screws installed in such a way that requires you to remover or loosen two of the strings to gain access to the truss rod. I was also VERY disappointed to find that there was not any technical information or pamphlet explaining any of the volume & tone control settings or what each control did. I had to search on Youtube to find this information. That said & on a positive note, once I was able to make truss rod adjustments(I am NOT a bass tech by any means) the bass is a solid bass. finally was playable

Schön, super Klang und Handling, teils hastiges Finish
Anninger 22.11.2019
Der schöne bundlose M7 5-Saiter mit Erlenkorpus, den ich von Thomann nach Wien gesendet bekam, trägt und spielt sich sehr fein. Der Sound ist mit den aufgezogenen D'Addario Flatwounds auch schön. Das Finish, besonders von Hals und Griffbrett, lässt aber doch zu wünschen übrig. D- und G-Saiten scheppern am 1. und 2. "Bund" (fretless!), um den 10. Bund zeigt sich ein sehr leichter Knick unter den D/G-Saiten. Das Griffbrett ist also nicht ganz gerade geschliffen. Auch hat an der Bridge eine Inbusschraube zum Festziehen eines der Saitenreiter gefehlt. Ergonomie und Sound haben mich dennoch beeindruckt. Ich gebe Sire noch eine Chance und lasse mir einen bundlosen M7 5-Saiter in Sumpfesche natur im Austausch schicken. Mal sehen.

Am besten wäre wohl, diese Sires selbst vor Ort anzutesten, wenn die Anreise zu Thomann nicht zu viel Mühe macht.

Tolles Instrument
Deepo 28.02.2023
Viele Soundoptionen, die auch tatsächlich unterschiedlich klingen. Details zu den Schaltungen beschreibt Thomann ja hiernim Artikel. Wenn die zwei benötigten Batterien mal leer sind, ist auch passiver Betrieb möglich.
Mein erstes Exemplar schnarrte eigenartig auf allen Saiten im Bereich des fünften "Bundes". Beim erhaltenen Austauschinstrument war dann alles ok. Wirklich schöner Bass.
