SIRE MARCUS MILLER U5

Description

Big Sound, Small Scale! The Sire U5-ALDER-4-NT delivers deep, warm tones with its Marcus Super-PJ Revolution Set, all packed into a lightweight, ultra-comfortable short-scale design.

A passive short-scale bass for beginners and experienced players looking for extra playing comfort. It produces a warm, rounded, and a more articulate sound from the P & J pickup configuration preferred by Marcus Miller. It comes with custom shop features like the rolled fretboard edges and added fun mint finished variant.

Edgeless For Your Comfort
The fretboard edges of this guitar are meticulously rolled and smoothened to give you an upgraded neck feel and enhance your overall playing experience.

Sire Short-Scale Bass
Contemporary bass shape made of North America Alder known to express fine-tuned quality build and sound in an instrument; topped with solid flamed Maple for luxurious finish. Its neck is made from 5-piece wood (Maple/ Mahogany) complementing highly tensioned 6 strings paired with Rosewood fingerboard.

Lightweight Bass
Compared to normal scaled basses, the Sire U5 is suited for players who don't want a weighty gear.

Marcus Miller Super-PJ Revolution Pickup
A special combination of Marcus-signature humbucker and single coil pickups allowing precise expressions of both the clear bass and jazz bass tones.
