Sire 2nd Gen Marcus Miller V9 Ash 4-String – Ebony Fretboard Overview :Living Legend and His BassMarcus Miller and SIRE wishes to see everyone enjoying and playing music. To make this happen, Marcus Miller and SIRE have been on a mission for the past several years to build the best quality bass at an unbelievable price, making it available to everyone. The result is a new line of Marcus Miller bass models that have an amazing sound, fantastic new look, and are high quality but with an extraordinary low price. We are ecstatic that SIRE Marcus Miller basses are now available to everyone with a new hope that more people will be able to play and enjoy the music they love.SOLID MAPLE TOP + QUILTED VENEERFinished with a Solid Maple Top and Quilted Veneer, covering the Alder / Ash body for a stronger, clearer, full-bodied soundMarcus Miller Super-J Revolution Pickup SetHigh-quality premium Jazz Bass Pickups made with USA plain enamel coil for a higher resolution and clearer soundRolled Fretboard EdgesWhat 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 fretboardsMarcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp SystemTop notch 3-band EQ preamp newly developed for this series in order to meet the needs of Marcus Miller’s versatility and to cover various styles of musicMARCUS HERITAGE-3 Preamp[CORE TECHNOLOGY FOR EXCELLENT SOUND]SIRE’s unique preamp system is a perfect example that represents our technology and philosophy that is integrated into our instruments.With multiple tone controls, players have total command to achieve the perfect tone they desire. The use of 18v batteries enables the player to attain unaltered natural sounds with strong and powerful outputs. With the 3-band EQ, players are able to carry out versatility in sounds that will be suited for all music sessions and performances. All models are built with the option of both active and passive modes. Even in the passive mode, the volume, tone, and pickup balancer are fully functional, giving the players more control of the tone in any mode.All models also come with swappable midrange control options that Marcus Miller advocates as a must have option. The middle frequency control knob allows the players to set the sound frequency to anywhere between 80Hz~2,000Hz. This option will be very handy when trying to find the desired soundMARCUS SUPER-J REVOLUTION SETWe have changed the Alnico Magnet’s magnetizing method to produce the similar aging sound of a 20-year-old Heavy Formvar Pickup. We have changed the coil to Plain Enamel and installed a program into a coil winding machine which enabled us to embody almost the same speed and winding crossover angle like the handmade winding.We decided to name this pickup technology “Revolution Pickup Technology.”[TRUE CUSTOM SHOP FEATURE]We have taken the overall playability to the next level with the ROLLED FRETBOARD EDGES.What only custom shops can achieve, is now available in the Sire 2nd Gen series. These rounded edges will give players a firmer and more natural grasp, compared to the typical fretboards.We were well aware of the difficulties we would face in our ambition to apply the rolled fretboard edges in a mass production factory. Together with the production team, we worked tirelessly to make this theory a reality.This was quite a challenge, almost an impossible mission.We tried making several adjustments to the production process and even introduced a new machine. Since our Sire basses also have bindings, this made it exceptionally challenging, way beyond our imaginations. But eventually, we found the answers and we are ecstatic to present the Rolled Fretboard Edges in all our 2nd Generation models.JAZZ BASS TYPEJazz bass type is the industry’s standard bass model with its signature vintage sound.This is an all-around bass that is suitable for fingering, slapping, and other techniques and styles of playing.With both a classic and modern feel and design, this new bass can produce the desired sound for all genres of music from soft to even strong metal grunge.BODY MATERIALThe top plate of the body is finished with a Solid Maple Top and Quilted Veneer that covers the Alder/Ash body. The Solid Maple Top produces a rich, clear, and vibrant tone. In addition, the sharp and luxurious wood pattern of the Quilted Veneer has improved the quality of the design.CURVED TOPThe part of the bass where the player’s arms touches the edge of the body is designed with a Curved Top, giving the player more comfort and stability during their performance.SWAMP ASHPremium Swamp Ash tone wood is usually found in higher priced instruments. Swamp Ash tone wood is known to produce a well-balanced tone. It is highly resonant and offers a nice balance of pleasant highs, firm lows, and a slightly scooped midrange which is great for slap playing.The characteristics of this wood enable players to emulate Marcus Miller’s tone a step further. EBONY FINGERBOARD Ebony fingerboards are made with very dense wood that delivers clear, crisp, and well-rounded tones.EASE OF PLAYABILITY1 PIECE HARD MAPLE NECKThe neck is made with one-piece Canadian hard maple. The hardness and strength of the hard maple minimizes the movement and stabilizes the neck to maintain its original shape and condition.The one-piece neck also minimizes the loss of vibration and maximizes the tone sustainability for a lasting tone.BATTERY COMPARTMENTThe battery insertion compartment has changed from a plastic cover to an Ash wood battery cover for longer lasting durability and aesthetic upgrade.Specifications :
