Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Sire became famous for releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of their guitars and basses is extremely high, and they are highly regarded not only by Marcus Miller fans but also by a wider audience.
This model is a modern PJ-style bass, based on the Precision Bass but with added potential.
The body is made of ash.
The neck is made of roasted maple with a satin finish.
This is also known as thermowood.
Thermowood, which was commercialized in the musical instrument field by Sago of Japan, was originally used in Finland as a building material for saunas.
Thermowood is valued for its resistance to high temperatures and humidity, and its usefulness for musical instruments is evident from its adoption by top manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr.
A certain amount of thermowood is discarded during the processing.
Presumably, those that will warp in the future are also discarded here.
Sound-wise, it has a strong impression of a well-worn, mature tone.
The fretboard is also made of roasted maple.
Unlike the neck, it has a gloss finish.
The edges are nicely rounded, aiming to improve playability.
Most players will likely have a positive impression of this specification.
The pickup layout is a PB-type split-coil plus a JB-type single-coil.
This is the so-called PJ style.
It has a built-in preamp, allowing for a wide range of sound shaping.
These electronics were, of course, supervised by Marcus Miller.
The controls are extensive, including volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble, and an active/passive switch.
While it may seem complex at first glance, it's logically sound for a bassist.
The sound is well-balanced from low to high frequencies, and is characterized by a crisp tone.
Even those who regularly play JB basses should find it satisfying.
