Product Description
The Sire V1 in Tobacco Sunburst is an ultra affordable Marcus Miller style jazz bass that still feels and responds like a far more expensive instrument. With a comfortable C shape maple neck, Sire’s Edgeless rolled rosewood fingerboard and a classic passive J style pickup set, it is built to give beginners and working players an inspiring, gig ready bass at a price that makes real quality more accessible than ever.
Under the timeless Tobacco Sunburst finish you get a resonant mahogany body, Sire Basic J pickups and a straightforward passive control layout, making it easy to dial in everything from tight, articulate funk to warm, rounded rock tones. Whether you are starting out, upgrading from your first bass or looking for a reliable backup, the V1 delivers the familiar feel and sound of a jazz style instrument with the playability Sire are known for.
Sire Feel at an Entry Level Price
The V1 range is designed to bring Sire’s acclaimed playability to a more accessible price point. The neck has a comfortable C shape profile that sits naturally in the hand, while the 34 inch scale and 38 mm nut width will feel instantly familiar to most bassists. It is a bass you can pick up and play for long rehearsals or gigs without fighting the instrument, making it ideal for learners and experienced players alike.
Rolled Edgeless Fingerboard
Sire’s Edgeless rolled rosewood fingerboard is a standout feature at this price. The edges of the board are carefully rounded so there are no sharp fret ends or harsh corners under your fretting hand. This gives a smooth, broken in feel that encourages fast position shifts and relaxed playing, helping newer players build technique more comfortably and giving seasoned bassists a neck that feels instantly played in.
Classic Passive J Style Tones
A pair of Sire Basic J pickups and a simple passive control layout keep things intuitive while still offering a wide range of usable sounds. Independent volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups plus a master tone control let you blend from deep, supportive neck pickup thump to tight, mid focused bridge growl, or anything in between. Passive electronics mean a natural, dynamic response that works well for many styles of music.
Mahogany Body and Reliable Hardware
The mahogany body provides a solid, balanced platform with a warm, full character, while the Sire Basic bass bridge and open gear tuners offer stable tuning and dependable performance. The four bolt steel plate neck joint keeps everything secure and aligned, so the bass feels sturdy in the hands and ready for regular use in rehearsal rooms, classrooms or on stage.
Features
- Ultra Affordable Sire Marcus Miller Design - The V1 brings the essence of the Sire Marcus Miller jazz style concept to a lower price point, giving you a familiar offset body shape, comfortable ergonomics and versatile tones without stretching your budget.
- Edgeless Rolled Rosewood Fingerboard - Sire’s Edgeless rolled fretboard edges remove sharp corners and rough spots, resulting in a smooth, broken in feel that makes long playing sessions more comfortable and helps developing players focus on technique rather than fighting the neck.
- Classic Passive J Pickup Set - The Sire Basic J pickups with dual volume and master tone controls deliver a wide palette of usable sounds, from warm, rounded lows to articulate bridge bite, all with the natural response and simplicity of a passive circuit.
- Mahogany Body with Stable Hardware - A mahogany body provides a solid tonal foundation, while the Sire Basic bass bridge, open gear tuners and four bolt steel plate neck joint ensure reliable tuning stability and a secure, confidence inspiring feel.
