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 popular even among people outside of Marcus' fan base.
This is their new V10-5.
While the models they usually produce are classic in style, this one is more modern.
There is no control plate, and the controls are mounted directly on the top of the body.
Combined with the Poplar Burl, I think it gives it a very contemporary look.
Because this wood grain has its own unique character, GIB photographs each and every guitar. Please experience these differences and find the one that's perfect for you.
The finish of the fingerboard and frets is outstanding.
Of course, at this price point, the finish is of a high quality that is comparable to guitars in higher price ranges.
The Abalone Block inlay used on the fingerboard is beautiful and gives it a luxurious feel.
This is also something you wouldn't normally expect at this price point.
The bridge has been changed from the previous V10, and is closer to the BADASS style. I think it's great.
It has a tight yet rich overtone sound with a powerful feel that includes just the right amount of compression.
This is a model that I would recommend to anyone looking for a Marcus-esque sound, but also to anyone simply looking for a high-quality jazz bass.
