Product Description
The Sire M6 Headless 5 in Black Swirl takes the acclaimed modern M6 platform and gives it a striking custom-inspired finish. Combining a lightweight headless design with a powerful active Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and premium Marcus Pure-H Revolution pickups, this five-string bass is built for players who want cutting-edge playability, rock-solid tuning stability and a bold, stage-ready look.
With its sandblasted mahogany and swamp ash body, fast C-shape multi-ply neck and Edgeless rolled rosewood fingerboard, the M6 Headless 5 feels sleek and effortless under the fingers. Add in the extended 33 to 35 inch scale for a tight, articulate low B, and you have a bass that is equally at home in the studio, on tour or on demanding modern sessions.
The Black Swirl finish brings a boutique, custom-shop aesthetic to the M6 range, traditionally reserved for special one-off instruments. After extensive testing to perfect the swirl and matte treatment, Sire have delivered a finish that looks unique from every angle while remaining durable and comfortable to the touch.
Under the eye-catching exterior lies a highly versatile electronics package. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp with sweepable mid control and pickup variation switch lets you move effortlessly from vintage warmth to modern punch, while the headless individual bridge system keeps the bass compact, well-balanced and incredibly stable.
Custom-Inspired Black Swirl Finish
The Black Swirl finish brings the vibe of high-end custom instruments to the M6 line. Each bass has its own unique swirl pattern, giving you a visually distinctive instrument that stands out on stage and in the studio. The matte treatment keeps reflections under control and feels smooth and comfortable during long sets.
Modern Headless Design
The Sire M-Headless shape and dedicated headless hardware create a compact, well-balanced bass that is easy to transport and comfortable to play in any position. Removing the headstock reduces overall weight and helps the instrument sit perfectly on a strap, making long gigs and rehearsals far less tiring.
Powerful Marcus Electronics
Equipped with Marcus Pure-H Revolution pickups and the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, the M6 Headless 5 delivers a wide tonal palette. From deep, rounded lows to crisp, defined highs, the active circuit with middle frequency control and pickup variation switch lets you quickly dial in tones for funk, fusion, pop, rock and beyond.
Fast, Comfortable Neck and Fingerboard
The five-piece hard maple and mahogany neck with a C-shape profile and Edgeless rolled rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth, broken-in feel straight out of the box. Stainless medium jumbo frets and a 16 inch radius make fast runs, chords and bends feel precise and effortless across all 24 frets.
Features
- Black Swirl Matte Finish - A boutique-style swirl finish, traditionally seen on custom instruments, gives each bass a unique visual identity. The matte surface reduces glare under stage lights and feels smooth and comfortable, enhancing both aesthetics and playing experience.
- Headless Individual Bridge System - The Sire headless individual bass bridge keeps the instrument compact and well-balanced while providing precise intonation and tuning stability. Individual saddles allow accurate setup for each string, supporting consistent feel and tone across the neck.
- Marcus Pure-H Revolution Pickups with Heritage-3 Preamp - This combination delivers a versatile, modern bass voice with clarity and punch. The onboard EQ with middle frequency control and pickup variation switch lets you tailor your sound for different genres without changing your playing dynamics.
- Five-Piece Neck and Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard - The hard maple and mahogany 5 piece neck construction enhances stability and sustain, while the Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges provide a smooth, comfortable feel. Stainless medium jumbo frets ensure long-lasting performance and precise intonation.
