Sire became famous as the brand that released the bass supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they produce is very high, and they are highly supported by people other than Marcus fans.
This one is based on a jazz bass motif.
The body is made of Alder and the fingerboard is Ebony.
The finish of the fingerboard and frets is outstanding.
It is finished in a high quality that is comparable to higher priced basses, as is to be expected in this price range.
The original PU is matched with an active circuit in the style of Marcus.
These are named Marcus Super-J Revolution Set and Marcus Heritage-3 with Middle Frequency Control.
Controls are numerous - volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble and active-passive switching SW - but they make sense for bassists.
It has a tight but overtone-rich, powerful sound that contains just the right amount of comp.
This model is a must-try for those aiming for a Marcus-like sound, but also for those simply looking for a high quality jazz bass.
