Sire became famous as a brand that released basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they manufacture is very high, and they are highly supported by people other than Marcus fans.
This is the new product V7 Ash-5 Reissue.
Reissue means that they will reproduce the models that were stopped due to the shortage of Swamp Ash after 2021.
I think it was relatively available in Japan, but maybe I was lucky.
Some models use POPLAR BURL for the top material, giving it an exotic look.
The natural look of the ash is also wonderful, so please choose the one you like.
GIB photographs each one one by one. Please check out the differences in their individuality and find the one that is perfect for you.
The neck is normal Maple, not Roasted.
This is a matter of personal preference, but I think many people will welcome this specification.
The finish of the fingerboard and frets is excellent. Naturally, for this price range, it is finished to a high level of quality that is comparable to models in higher price ranges.
It has a tight yet powerful sound that is rich in overtones and has just the right amount of compression.
This is a model that we would recommend to anyone looking for a Marcus-esque sound, but also to anyone simply looking for a high-quality jazz bass.
