Sire suddenly became famous as a brand that released basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they manufacture is extremely high, and they are highly supported by people other than Marcus fans.
This model is a modern PJ style bass with a precision bass motif and more expandability.
The neck is made of roasted maple with a satin finish.
This is also called thermowood.
Thermowood, which was put to practical use in the musical instrument field by Japan's Sago, was originally used in Finland as a construction material for saunas.
Thermowood is valued as a wood that is resistant to high temperatures and humidity, but it is clear that it is also useful for musical instruments, as it is used by leading manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr.
Apparently, a certain number of Thermowood pieces end up being discarded due to their processing.
Probably, things that will warp in the future will also be repelled here.
In terms of sound, I get the impression that the nuances are very rich.
Roasted maple is also used for the fingerboard.
Unlike the neck, this one has a gloss coating.
The edges are nicely rounded to improve playability.
Most players will have positive impressions of this specification.
The body is made of ash with a beautiful wood grain.
The PU layout is a PB type split coil plus a JB type single coil.
This is the so-called PJ style.
Equipped with a preamp, it supports a wide range of sound making.
These electronics were of course supervised by Marcus Miller.
There are plenty of controls including volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble, and active-passive switch.
It may seem complicated at first glance, but from a bass player's perspective, it makes sense.
The sound is well balanced from bottom to top, with a crisp tone.
I think it will be a satisfying experience for those who regularly play JB.
