SKU: SIREP5RA5NT
Sire have made serious waves in the bass market in recent years and have rightfully earned massive praise for their all-encompassing range. Their collaboration with world-renowned jazz and funk bassist Marcus Miller has produced a range of exceptionally high-quality instruments that far exceed their price point.
The P5R takes heavy inspiration from vintage precision-style instruments, and possesses plenty of classic character with its timeless body shape and solid construction — dishing out thumping low-end tones via a lone, middle-mounted split-coil pickup. Further noteworthy appointments include a rock-solid roasted Maple neck with a silky rolled-edge Rosewood fingerboard, medium-sized frets, open-gear tuners and a genuine bone nut. Available at a fantastic price-point to boot, like all Sire instruments, the P5R is a versatile bass that perfectly blends traditional allure with modern refinement!
Balanced Alder Body
Sire's P5R model boasts a North American Alder body that guarantees a tight, neutral sound with bundles of upper mid-range projection — serving as the perfect tonal foundation for the potent pickup. A generous belly-cut allows the instrument to rest comfortably against you in standing or sitting positions, making the P5R a practical stage or studio workhorse.
Roasted Maple Neck
Many high-end instruments come fitted with roasted Maple necks, yet Sire has somehow managed to fit its affordable P5R with one — providing you with a truly premium look. "Roasting" is a process that is used to remove all of the natural moisture retained by a tonewood, which ultimately darkens the material and makes it far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates. This means that the P5R's neck is incredibly stable — vastly improving tuning stability.
Peerless Playability
A C-shaped neck profile gives both contemporary and old-school bassists an addictive feel, while the rolled fingerboard edges enhance playability for an extremely smooth fretting experience.
Marcus Vintage Fat-Precision Revolution Pickup
A proprietary 'Marcus Vintage Fat-Precision Revolution' split-coil pickup gives the P5R a beautifully-thick, rounded sonic character — capturing that legendary P-bass voice but with even more "thump". Smooth and balanced, this surprisingly-flexible pickup rewards all playing styles with an inspiring tone that blossoms when amplified loud.
High-Quality Hardware
Hardware can be an afterthought for some guitar companies, but Sire has made sure that every detail is executed to perfection with its P5R bass. Sporting a beautifully-machined 'Vintage-S' bridge, this essential component boosts note resonance for a responsive feel and piano-like sustain. A set of Sire 'Premium Open-Gear' tuners put a contemporary spin on this classic-looking bass, engineered to reduce the likelihood of tuning slips.
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!
