Marcus Miller basses are made from the highest quality materials in his range.

Swamp Ash body
Premium Swamp Ash tonewoods are usually found in more expensive instruments. Swamp Ash tonewoods are known to produce a well-balanced tone. It's very resonant and offers a nice balance between pleasant highs, solid lows and a slightly scooped midrange that's great for slap playing. The characteristics of this wood allow players to emulate Marcus Miller's tone one step further.

Bone nut
The nut is one of the most important parts of the guitar that affects the performance, playability and tone of the instrument. Depending on the quality of the material and its elasticity, the nut can improve or worsen the sound. Although the bone nut is more expensive and difficult to work with, it is believed to deliver more balanced, brighter and softer tones than plastic or other materials.

Maple fingerboard
Maple fingerboards deliver bright highs and sharpness in tone. The bright and pure sound of a maple fingerboard is desired by many players.

Marcus Heavy Mass Bridge
Marcus Miller SIRE P7+ bass is equipped with the newly designed Marcus Heavy Mass Standard Bridge, specially developed at the request of Marcus Miller, giving the bass a rich and punchy sound. The new bridge allows for a string-through body method or a string-through-bridge method. The string-through-body method provides a tighter, more accurate and more stable tone.

Round fretboard edges
A real custom shop function
We've taken the overall playability to the next level with the rolled fingerboard edges. What only custom shops can achieve is now available in the Sire 2nd Gen series. These rounded edges give players a firmer and more natural grip compared to typical fretboards.

Marcus Super-PJ Revolution Set
Marcus Miller Super-PJ Revolution pickup set is an upgraded pickup set that gives players that rich, powerful unique precision bass sound, as well as the vintage jazz bass tone. In addition to the Fiber Bobbin and Alnico 5 magnets, this pickup is also made with USA manufactured USA coil magnet wires.

Marcus Heritage-3 preamplifier
SIRE's unique preamp system is a perfect example that represents our technology and philosophy integrated into our instruments. With multiple tone controls, players have complete control to achieve the perfect tone they want. By using 18v batteries, the player can achieve unaltered natural sounds with strong and powerful outputs.
