Sire rose to fame as a brand releasing bass guitars overseen by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they produce is exceptional, and they're highly sought-after even by non-Marcus fans.
As you can see, this model is based on the original Precision Bass.
Its simple style, featuring a passive circuit, really highlights the high quality of the Sire.
The neck is made of roasted maple with a satin finish.
This is also known as thermowood.
Practically developed for musical instruments by the Japanese company Sago, thermowood was originally used in Finland as a sauna construction material.
Pursued for its resistance to high temperatures and humidity, thermowood's usefulness for musical instruments is evident from its use by top manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr.
A certain amount of thermowood is apparently discarded during the processing process.
Presumably, even those that will eventually warp will be played here.
The sound exudes a rich, refined nuance.
The fingerboard is also made of roasted maple.
Unlike the neck, it has a gloss finish.
The edges are nicely rounded to improve playability.
Most players will have a positive reaction to this specification.
The body is made of alder, a very classic style of wood.
The straight, clear, fat sound is the epitome of the OPB character.
There aren't many OPB-style basses, but this one is certainly one to recommend.
This is an official manufacturer outlet product.
As it has been in long-term storage, there may be cosmetic scratches.
All other imperfections are covered by the warranty.
