Description & Condition
Sire rose to fame as a brand releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they produce is extremely high, and they are highly popular even among non-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 design that evokes a vintage feel.
The body is made of alder and the neck is maple.
The fingerboard is also made of maple.
The neck has a satin finish, and the fingerboard has a gloss finish.
This provides an excellent balance of playability, sound, and looks.
The edges are nicely rounded, improving playability.
Most players will have a positive reaction to this specification.
The overall wood construction is very classic in style.
The pickup position is the same as on a Fender '70s JB.
This produces a distinctively tight, powerful sound.
The bridge is also designed with classic style in mind.
The controls are simple: two volume and one tone.
It features a powerful sound that's tight yet rich in overtones, with just the right amount of compression.
It retains the familiar Sire playability while offering a vintage-like feel.
This bass is highly recommended as a step-up bass or even a secondary bass.
It will be delivered to you after being tuned for optimal playability by a GIB craftsman.
This is an official manufacturer outlet product.
Due to long-term storage, there may be cosmetic scratches.
