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 model is a PJ-style modern bass that is based on the motif of the Precision bass, but with more development.

The neck is made of satin-painted roasted maple.
This is also known as thermo wood.
Thermo wood, which was put to practical use in the field of musical instruments by Sago of Japan, was originally used in Finland as a building material for saunas.

It is also useful for musical instruments, as evidenced by the fact that leading manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr use thermowood.

It is said that a certain amount of thermowood is disposed of due to its processing.
Probably, some of the instruments that will be warped in the future will be played here.

The sound has a strong impression of a mellow nuance.

The fingerboard is also made of roasted maple.
Unlike the neck, this one has a gloss finish.

The edges are nicely rounded to improve playability.
Most players will have positive impressions of this specification.

The body is made of beautifully grained ash.

The PU layout is a PB-type split coil plus a JB-type single coil.
This is the so-called PJ style.

A preamplifier is included for a wide range of sound making.
These electronics are of course supervised by Marcus Miller.

Controls include volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble, active-passive switch SW, and many more.
It looks complicated at first glance, but from a bassist's point of view, it makes sense.

The sound is well-balanced from bottom to top, with a crisp tone.
I think it is convincing for those who play JB on a regular basis.
