Description

Sire have made serious waves in the bass market in recent years and have rightfully earned massive praise for their all-encompassing range. Their collaboration with world-renowned jazz and funk bassist Marcus Miller has produced a range of exceptionally high-quality instruments that far exceed their price point. We here at Andertons believe that Sire are the best bass brand we have seen in the last twenty years! That’s a bold statement for sure, but you know a product is good when all the staff own one! Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory in which their basses are built. This means cheaper production and full control over the quality of the instruments from start to finish. It goes without saying that we QC check each and every Sire bass that comes through our doors, but we are always blown away by how little tweaking is required because they’re always set up so well from the factory! The V3P is an all-new passive bass guitar in Sire's popular entry-level line up. Sporting a familiar J-Bass body shape, the V3P is packed to the rafters with premium features that you would typically expect to see on more expensive models. A Mahogany body provides a balanced foundation on which to build your sound while an Edgeless™ Rosewood fingerboard offers maximum comfort and playability. At the heart of the V3P is a set of Marcus Miller-approved Standard-J Revolution pickups, delivering high resolution tones in abundance for any playing style. Key Features 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?! Passive Volume & Tone Controls – Simple electronics allow for quick and easy adjustment of your tone without compromising the true bass sound. Marcus Miller Standard-J Revolution Pickups – These Marcus Miller-approved pickups serve up a host of great bass tones for a range of playing styles and genres. 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 Standard Bridge – This classic bridge set up ensures optimal intonation and tuning stability, whilst maximising the transfer of sound energy to the pickups.
