Sire Marcus Miller F10 4 NT popolar burl top

A 4-string variant that expands the F10 series

This model marks the introduction of a 4-string version within the F10 series, offering a more immediate approach for many bassists: familiar reference points, feel, and playing habits typical of a 4-string, while retaining the DNA of the range. It features a performance-oriented bass with modern design (single cut, neck-thru) and wood and hardware choices consistent with an instrument built for both stage and studio.

For which bassists and styles?

With its Modern Single Cut shape and very complete electronics, this F10 4-string is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a platform capable of covering varied contexts. It excels in genres where attack, precision, and definition matter: funk, fusion, pop, R&B, gospel, modern rock, and sessions requiring quick changes in tonal character. The neck-thru construction and heavy bridge also support expressive playing (right-hand dynamics, nuances, articulations) with consistent response across the entire neck.

Sound character: definition, sustain, and great sculpting capability

The combination of Swamp Ash and poplar burl emphasizes a generally clear and articulate sound, with good note clarity and a sharp attack, ideal for precise grooves and fast lines. The mahogany neck combined with hard maple, coupled with the neck-thru joint, contributes to a sense of continuity across registers and solid sustain, useful for held notes, singing lines, and dense arrangements.

On the electronics side, the Marcus Pure-H Revolution set is built on a powerful foundation designed to remain clear even when pushing the EQ. The Volume, Tone, and Blender controls allow quick adjustment of the overall color, while the Treble, Middle/Freq, and Bass EQ fine-tune the mix placement: brightness and attack, mids adjusted to stand out (or blend in), and adjustable lows to shift from tight low end to fuller bass. The pickup variation SW adds an extra dimension to adapt pickup behavior depending on the playing context.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best out of it daily, you can pair it with 4-string long scale bass strings (scale length 34" / 860 mm), a sturdy strap, and a quality instrument jack cable to preserve dynamics and reduce noise.
