【new】Sire / F10 Dx 5 HL NT 4.28kg #2N26H90034【GIB Hyogo】

Sire became famous for releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller. (Titles omitted)

The quality of the guitars and basses manufactured by the company is extremely high, and they are widely supported not only by Miller's fans but also by many others.

This is the F10dx headless 5-string model, which pursues the highest level of modern style within the brand, which is strongly associated with the JB style.

The body top is made of Spalted Maple with a beautiful grain, and the back is made of lightweight Swamp Ash with a wide tonal range.

The single-cut body shape not only has an elegant look, but also creates rich sustain by increasing the contact area between the neck and body.

The neck is a 5-piece through-neck construction combining Hard Maple and Mahogany.

This method of laminating multiple pieces of wood to create the neck reduces left-right differences and individual differences, resulting in higher rigidity and stability.

It uses a 35-inch scale, which enhances the tension in the low-end and improves pitch clarity.

Furthermore, the headless design is appealing because it improves upon the head dive often seen in multi-string basses and those with longer scales.

It boasts an exceptionally well-balanced body and excellent handling, ensuring stress-free playing even during extended sessions.

The fretboard is made of ebony.

The relatively flat 12-inch radius fretboard and fast-responding stainless steel frets maintain a consistent playing feel even in the higher positions.

It consistently delivers clear articulation even in modern playing techniques such as slap bass and fast phrases.

The fretboard features an edgeless design with rounded edges, fitting the playing style of players who prioritize smooth fingering.

Most players will likely find this feature appealing.

The hardware includes an independent "Sire Headless Individual Bass Bridge."

This directly transmits the vibrations of each string to the body, resulting in excellent sustain, clarity, and stable tuning.

The guitar features original humbucking pickups with wooden covers, the Marcus Custom-H Revolution Set.

A variation switch allows you to switch the pickup wiring, enabling you to bring out a wide range of characteristics, from thick, powerful humbucker tones to clear, articulate single-coil-like sounds.

The preamp is the Marcus Heritage-3 HD, boasting a wide range and clear output.

The combination of a 3-band EQ with a middle frequency and the pickup variation switch allows for a very wide range of sound shaping.

The sound is characterized by a deep, tight low end and rich sustain.

The response is quick, and the tone is remarkably clear and high-resolution.

While possessing the powerful push characteristic of humbuckers, the separation of each frequency band is excellent, and the sound remains clear even down to the Low-B.

The rich harmonics and stable pitch make it highly suitable for technical soloing and modern ensembles where clarity is paramount.

This is an excellent instrument that perfectly matches styles that want to fully utilize the rich, deep sound characteristic of high-end basses, the comfortable playability of a headless design, and the wide tonal range of a multi-string bass.
