Sire Marcus Miller V10dx Swamp Ash 5-String Fretless Bass Guitar in Tobacco Sunburst

Please Note: This listing currently shows images of the fretted version of the Sire Marcus Miller V10dx bass.

Sire basses have become best-sellers worldwide, and for good reason! Collaboratively designed with bass virtuoso Marcus Miller, Sire instruments are acclaimed for their beauty, luxurious playability, impeccable build quality, premium features and relative affordability. Able to keep up with the demands of professional working musicians, Sire basses outclass almost anything in their price bracket!

The V10dx is Sire's top-of-the range V Series model. Boasting a raft of best-in-class hardware and electronic appointments, including Hipshot USA hardware and Sire's sophisticated Heritage-3 preamp, the woods used for this instrument are also key to its high-end feel and tone — sporting a roasted Maple neck with a rolled-edge fingerboard, and a warm-sounding Swamp Ash body adorned with a stunning solid flamed Maple top!

Key Features

• Asymmetrical C-Shaped Roasted Maple Neck — Roasting process crystallises resins and removes all of the natural moisture retained by the neck wood, ultimately darkening the material and increasing stability for rock-solid tuning!
• 'Edgeless' Rolled Fingerboard Edges — Enhances the overall comfort and playability of the neck and makes it easier to play. What's not to like?!
• Marcus Premium J Revolution Pickup Set — Made with USA plain enamel coils designed to produce the high-fidelity tones preferred by Marcus Miller.
• Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp — An onboard 3-band EQ with active and passive modes puts plenty of tone-tweaking options right at your fingertips!
• Hipshot Kickass Bridge — A high-mass, super-reliable bridge featuring adjustable string spacing and replacement stainless steel saddle inserts that emphasise overtones and treble frequencies.
• Hipshot USA Ultralite Tuners — Beautifully-engineered machine heads featuring aircraft-grade aluminium housing; providing high durability in an extremely lightweight package.
• Included Sire Hard Case — A rugged and robust case that comes with a TSA lock, which allows you to transport the instrument safely and conveniently while permitting security authorities to inspect the bass without causing damage.

About Sire Marcus Miller Basses

We here at Andertons believe that Sire are the best bass brand we have seen in the last twenty years! That’s a bold statement for sure, but you know a product is good when all the staff own one! Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory in which their basses are built. This means cheaper production and full control over the quality of the instruments from start to finish. It goes without saying that we QC check each and every Sire bass that comes through our doors, but we are always blown away by how little tweaking is required because they’re always set up so well from the factory!
