Sire became famous as a brand that released basses 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 the V5, which is based on the jazz bass.
There are several models in the V series, but this one has a vintage design.
The neck is made of satin-painted roasted maple.
This is also called thermo wood.
Thermo wood was originally used in Finland as a building material for saunas, and was commercialized in the field of musical instruments by Sago of Japan.
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.
Alder is used for the body, which is a very classic style of wood.
The pickup position is similar to that of Fender's 70's JB.It has a unique tight and powerful sound.
The bridge is also designed with the classic style in mind.
Controls are simply 2 volume and 1 tone.
The sound is characterized by its tightness, rich overtones, and powerful sound with just the right amount of compression.
The vintage-like feel can be obtained while maintaining the ease of playability typical of SIRE.
This bass is highly recommended not only as a step-up bass, but also as a sub-bass.
