Product Description
The Sire V3-5 New Gen Bass in Black Satin is a seriously capable five string that keeps things simple where it matters, and refined where it counts. With a new streamlined 2 band preamp, upgraded Alnico pickups and a more comfortable neck and body profile, it is built to give you great tone and feel without getting in the way of your playing.
Whether you are locking down grooves on stage or tracking at home, the V3-5 New Gen delivers a wide range of usable sounds with an intuitive control layout. The tinted Canadian maple neck and satin black finish give it a smart, classic look, while the rolled fingerboard edges and medium frets make it feel instantly familiar under the fingers.
Refined New Gen Neck
The V3-5 New Gen features a reshaped neck and body profile designed to sit more naturally against the player. The C shape Canadian hard maple neck with a tinted finish feels smooth and comfortable, while the 34 inch scale and 9.5 inch radius rosewood fingerboard provide an easy playing platform for both traditional and modern techniques.
Simplified 2 Band Preamp
Sire have moved to a new, simplified 2 band preamp that makes it quicker to dial in great tones. With just bass and treble EQ on tap, you can shape your sound in seconds without getting lost in controls, making it ideal for live use and for players who want powerful but straightforward tone shaping.
Upgraded Alnico Pickups
The Marcus Standard J Revolution pickup set now uses Alnico magnets for a warmer and more expressive voice. These pickups capture the character of a classic jazz style bass with added clarity and punch, giving you everything from rounded fingerstyle tones to articulate slap and pick sounds.
Flexible Active and Passive Operation
The updated control layout removes the coil tap switch and replaces it with a push pull function on the bass control to switch between active and passive modes. This gives you instant access to a clean, unaffected passive tone alongside the more sculpted active sound, all from the same bass.
Features
- New Gen Neck and Body Profile - The refined C shape neck and contoured body make the V3-5 New Gen more comfortable for long rehearsals and gigs, helping reduce fatigue while keeping upper fret access smooth and natural.
- Simplified 2 Band Preamp - The Sire Standard 2 band preamp offers quick, musical control over bass and treble, so you can adapt your sound to different rooms and styles without overthinking your settings.
- Alnico Marcus Standard J Revolution Pickups - Upgraded Alnico magnet pickups deliver a warmer, more organic tone with improved dynamics, giving your lines more character and presence in the mix.
- Active Passive Push Pull Control - The push pull bass control lets you switch between active and passive operation on the fly, providing extra versatility and a useful backup if you prefer a more traditional, uncoloured sound.
