Sire became famous as the brand that released the bass 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 V5R, which is based on the Jazz bass.
There are several models in the V series, but this one is designed with a vintage feel.
The neck is made of satin-painted roasted maple.
This is also known as thermo wood.
Thermo wood was originally used in Finland as a building material for saunas, and was put to practical use in the field of musical instruments by Sago of Japan.
Thermo wood is valued as a wood that can withstand high temperatures and humidity, and its usefulness for musical instruments is evident from the fact that leading manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr have adopted it.
A certain amount of thermowood is said to be discarded due to its processing.
Perhaps some that will warp in the future will be played here.
Sound-wise, there is an impression of a strong nuance of mellowness.
The fingerboard is made of rosewood.
The edges are nicely rounded to improve playability.
Most players will have a positive impression of this specification.
The body is made of alder, a very classic style of wood.
The pickup positions are similar to Fender's 70's JB.
A unique tight and powerful sound is obtained.
The bridge is also in keeping with the classic style.
Controls are simple: 2 volume and 1 tone.
Tight but with rich overtones and a powerful sound with just the right amount of compression.
The vintage-like feel can be obtained while maintaining the SIRE's typical playability.
This bass is highly recommended not only as a step-up bass, but also as a sub bass.
