Product Description
Sire basses have become best-sellers worldwide, and for good reason! Collaboratively designed with bass virtuoso Marcus Miller, Sire's 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 everything else in their price bracket!
The V5 24 Fret is a modified, modern take on Sire's flagship V Series model. It allows you to be more creative in soloing and chording thanks to a full 2-octaves per string fretless fingerboard, and a deep body cutaway that lets you easily access the higher register. It's the ultimate bang-for-your-buck bass for virtuosic players after a versatile instrument!
Key Features
- North American Alder Body — Popular timber synonymous with bolt-on guitars and basses. Offers a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
- 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 Vintage-J Revolution Pickups — A signature formvar design that has a '70s pickup spacing (closer to the bridge), yielding a punchier sound akin to Marcus' original bass.
- Passive Volume & Tone Controls — Simple electronics allow for easy adjustment of your overall tone without compromising the true bass sound.
- Marcus Miller Vintage-S Bridge — Brings a cool vintage aesthetic to the instrument, and ensures optimal intonation and tuning stability whilst maximising the transfer of sound energy to the pickups for superb sustain.
