Sire rose to fame as a brand releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they produce is extremely high, and they are highly popular even among people other than Marcus fans.
The ""reissue"" refers to the re-production of models that had been discontinued due to a shortage of Swamp Ash from 2021 onwards.
It seems to have been relatively available in Japan, so perhaps I was just lucky.
Some models use Poplar Burl for the top, giving them an exotic look.
The natural look of the ash is also wonderful, so choose whichever you prefer.
At GIB, we photograph each and every guitar. Please take a look at their unique characteristics and find the one that's perfect for you.
The neck is standard maple, not roasted.
This is a matter of personal preference, but we think many people will appreciate this feature.
The finish of the fingerboard and frets is excellent.
Naturally for a bass in this price range, it is finished to a high quality that is comparable to basses in higher price ranges.
It has a tight yet powerful sound that is rich in overtones and has just the right amount of compression.
This is a model that we would recommend to anyone looking for a Marcus-esque sound, as well as anyone simply looking for a high-quality jazz bass.
