Description

A Sire-style acoustic bass with a chambered body!

Sire, the much talked about bass guitar that impressed Marcus Miller and earned him permission to use his name, is a partner of Marcus Miller and Larry Carlton, and offers high quality instruments from a player's perspective.

This GB series 4-string model features a piezo pickup for a truly acoustic sound. The chambered mahogany body and solid spruce top provide excellent feedback resistance. The fingerboard edges are smoothed with "Rolled Fretboard Edges," ensuring a high level of playability.
The preamp is Sire's original VIVIDX-B preamp. The 3-band EQ and phase switch allow for versatile sound creation, making it versatile enough to suit any situation.
