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!
Want thundering tones and exceptional comfort, all from one bass? The Sire Marcus Miller U5 short-scale bass is just what you need! It features a modest and manageable 30" scale, which yields less tension than a conventional 34" scale bass. Ultimately, this gives the U5 a much looser feel as less strain is exerted on the strings — making them easier to fret and even bend. This, combined with the frets being much closer together, means that the Sire U5 bass feels easy to play and delivers a deep, fat sound.
This updated version of the Sire Marcus Miller U5 bass guitar comes without body binding, which gives the instrument an elegant "wraparound" colour finish that's both cool and contemporary!
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.
- 30" Scale Length — Results in lower string tension, which makes it much easier to fret and bend notes.
- '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 Super-PJ Revolution Pickup Set — A special combination of Marcus' signature humbucker and single-coil pickups, allowing for both cutting-edge modern tones and smooth jazz sounds.
- 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.
