An Acoustic Bass Designed for the Marcus Miller Universe at Sire

The GB5-5 LH BK fits within Sire's approach: offering performance-oriented instruments with fine craftsmanship and stage-ready electronics. With its "Marcus Acoustic Bass Shape" format, it aims for a fuller acoustic sound while maintaining a modern feel thanks to its bolt-on neck and dimensions close to electric bass standards.

For Which Bassist and Styles?

This 5-string acoustic bass is aimed at motivated beginners as well as intermediate players who want to work on placement and dynamics in acoustic playing, as well as stage musicians seeking a reliable "unplugged" tone. It is particularly suited for pop, folk, variety, soft jazz, and acoustic ensemble accompaniment, with the option to amplify via the piezo pickup.

The Sound

The solid spruce top enhances responsiveness and definition: the attack stands out clearly, helping maintain clarity even on a 5-string. The mahogany body adds roundness and warm mids, ideal for supporting an ensemble without harshness. The "Marcus Acoustic Bass Shape" body format contributes to projection and a more present low end in acoustic playing.

Plugged in, the Vividix-B (piezo) system emphasizes detail and right-hand playing dynamics. The Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass controls allow quick tonal balance adjustments depending on the PA or amplifier, while the Phase Switch helps reduce feedback and resonance issues common with electro-acoustic basses in real-world settings.
