TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHEN AND WHY DID YOU START PLAYING BASS?
My name is Patcharapong Ruenghirunwong (May) and I am a professional musician. My first instrument is a drum set. I first played bass when I was 16, because a bass player in my band quitted. So I had to be a substitute. I didn’t like playing bass at first, but now I love it.
HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT SIRE BASS, PLEASE TELL US YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION ON SIRE BASS AND HOW MANY BASSES DO YOU HAVE? COULD YOU COMPARE V7 BASS WITH OTHER BASSES YOU’VE PLAYED? TELL US THE DIFFERENCES.
I heard about Sire Bass from Youtube. I’ve been following Marcus Miller for a while because he’s my idol and has inspired me to play bass. -When I first played Sire Bass, I was impressed with the feeling when slapping. The neck felt just right. -I’ve owned 15 basses, including Sire Bass V7. Personally, I think Sire is the best bang for the buck. It’s just fun to play, especially for people who like slapping. I think Sire is one of the most funs to do slapping
