Sire gained instant fame as the brand releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of their guitars and basses is exceptionally high, earning strong support even beyond Marcus fans.
This model is based on a jazz bass.
The body is Alder, the fingerboard is Ebony, giving it a slightly modern specification.
The finish on the fingerboard and frets is outstanding.
While expected in this price range, the high quality holds its own even when compared to higher-priced models.
The original pickups are paired with an active circuit, characteristic of Marcus's style.
These are named the Marcus Super-J Revolution Set and the Marcus Heritage-3 with Middle Frequency Control.
Controls include Volume, Tone, Balancer, Bass, Middle, Middle Frequency, Treble, and an Active/Passive switch – quite a few, but a well-organized layout for bassists.
Characterized by a tight yet richly harmonic sound with a powerful, moderately compressed feel.
This model is a must-try not only for those aiming for that Marcus-esque sound, but also for anyone simply seeking a high-quality jazz bass.
