Product details
Sire Basses V10 Series Marcus Miller swamp ash with flamed maple top, 5-string bass guitar, tobacco sunburst, incl gigbag
Neck & fingerboard
The roasted flame maple neck & fingerboard, processed through a special kiln drying process, gives a similar effect to the wooden structure of a well-managed old vintage instrument. The tonal density is softened like a sound feature on an aged vintage instrument, giving it a natural resonance.
Top
Finished with a solid maple top and quilted veneer, covering the ash body for a stronger, clearer, full-bodied sound.
Rolled fretboard edges
What only custom shops can achieve, is now on the Sire 2nd Gen. These rounded edges will give users a firmer and more natural grasp compared to other typical fretboards.
Marcus Miller heritage-3 preamp system
