Sire V-8 4 String Swamp Ash

Sire's "all-around" flagship bass featuring a Swamp Ash body and a roasted maple neck, the Sire V8 delivers incredible tone and feel at a price that no other manufacturer can compete with.

The Swamp Ash body has brilliant resonance and bell like clarity, Ash is integral to delivering the "Marcus Miller Tone" with its unrivalled definition and snap. Combine with this a roasted maple neck and you have rigidity in both feel and tresponce. Featuring Sire's "edgeless" neck profiling, the neck feels fantastic in the hands with silky smooth edges that help you glide across the neck. 

Combine with all of this the famous Marcus Miller Sire preamp and you have an absolute weapon of a bass at your disposal. 3 Band onboard EQ with variable mid range as well as overriding passive tone control, this is one of the most versatile preamps of any bass on the market. To top it off its loaded with a Heavymass II bridge to efficiently transfer all string resonance directly into the body, increasing sustain and attack. 

The V8 is packed with premium features that you simply dont see on a bass at this price point. Its versatility makes it a great option for an array of different techniques, genres and playing styles.

Specs

  • Edgeless™ Fingerboard – Typically only found on high-end basses, rolled fingerboard edges enhance the overall comfort and playability of the neck and make it easier to play. What’s not to like?!
  • Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp – An onboard 3-band EQ with active and passive settings puts plenty of tone tweaking options at your fingertips. 
  • Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution Pickups – This signature set of pickups is preferred by Marcus Miller himself, offering up a host of great bass tones for a range of playing styles and genres. The '70s spacing brings the pickups closer to the bridge; a key element of Marcus Miller's sound.
  • J-Bass Body – This iconic, tried and tested body shape is incredibly comfortable to play. Body contours allow the bass to sit comfortably against your body when playing either standing up or seated.
  • Marcus Miller Heavymass II Bridge – This all-brass bridge set up ensures optimal intonation and tuning stability, whilst maximising the transfer of sound energy to the pickups. It also allows for enhanced vibration and sustain, producing a clearer and punchier sound.
