Sire suddenly became famous as a brand that released basses supervised by Marcus Miller.
The quality of the guitars and basses they manufacture is extremely high, and they are highly supported by people other than Marcus fans.
This model has a jazz bass motif.
It has a wood composition with an alder body and an ebony fingerboard.
It is equipped with an active circuit, typical of Marcus's style, and is finished with modern classic specs.
There are plenty of controls including volume, tone, balancer, bass, middle, middle frequency, treble, and active-passive switch.
It may seem complicated at first glance, but from a bass player's perspective, it makes sense.
Although it is tight, it is rich in overtones and has a powerful sound with a moderate amount of compression.
Not only for those aiming for a Marcus-like sound, but also for those simply looking for a high-quality jazz bass, this is a model you should try.
