Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good


It's rare for us to find a bass with such valuable, useful features at this price point, much rarer for it to be a lefty!  After needing nothing but a general setup from our luthier, this V9 is ready and raring to ride!

 

SP Luthier Notes: Setup

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

Marcus Miller and SIRE wish to see everyone enjoying and playing music. To make this happen, Marcus Miller and SIRE have been on a mission for 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 a fantastic sound and look, and are high quality but with an extraordinarily 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.

The upgraded Sire V9 is packed not only with authentic jazz characteristics but also with modern finish. Another special addition to this bass for all styles and techniques is the solid maple topped with quilted veneer, found matching on the body and the head. The Marcus Miller-signature hardware and electronics plus the rolled fretboard edges will sum up all the boutique features of this instrument.
