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 based on a jazz bass.
However, in the style of Marcus, it is equipped with an active circuit and has been finished to modern classic specs.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is ebony.
Controls include volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble, and active/passive switch.
At first glance, it may seem complicated, but from a bassist's point of view, it makes perfect sense.
The sound is tight but rich in overtones, and powerful with just the right amount of comp.
This model is a must-try for those who are aiming for a Marcus-like sound, but also for those who are simply looking for a high quality jazz bass.
To be honest, the SIRE is the best in this price range. Highly recommended.
