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 regarded even among non-Marcus fans.
While Sire is known for its JB-style sound, their M series has modern features and is highly acclaimed.
This model is the new M6-4.
It inherits the body shape of the M series, but incorporates a headless design and multi-scale construction, resulting in more modern specifications.
The body is made of mahogany.
High-quality mahogany is widely available in Indonesia, so this is likely the reason they chose it.
The finish of the fingerboard and frets is excellent.
Naturally, for this price range, the finish is of high quality, comparable to models in higher price ranges.
The scale length is relatively gentle at 33-34.5, so even those accustomed to playing JB-type guitars will find little discomfort.
It features original humbucking pickups and a 3-band EQ preamp.
These are called the Marcus Pure-H Revolution Set and the Marcus Miller Heritage-3 with Middle Frequency Control.
The controls are diverse yet simple: Volume/Tone (Dual Pot), Pickup Blender, Treble, Middle/Mid Frequency (Dual Pot), Bass, Mini Toggle (Active&Passive), and two Mini Toggles (Pickup Series/Split/Parallel).
The powerful pickups and preamps deliver powerful output of carefully crafted string vibrations.
The sound has just the right amount of bass ensemble elements, making it highly versatile.
The Sire's basic quality is extremely high, and it seems to have the potential to produce an excellent product for any style.
