Sire Marcus Miller M2-4 Lh Whp Rn

A modern 4-string bass at the heart of a "performance" approach

The M2-4 LH WHP RN embodies the spirit of contemporary basses focused on efficiency: a "modern bass" design, comprehensive electronics, and ergonomics made to meet current demands. Between its Active / Passive switch and detailed controls, it clearly targets bassists who want to cover multiple styles without changing instruments, while maintaining a refined White Pearl aesthetic.

For which bassists and styles?

This bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a responsive and versatile instrument, with sufficiently fine adjustments to sculpt the sound in a band setting. The long scale (marked "34?") and humbucker configuration are well suited for funk (attack and dynamics), rock (foundation and density), fusion, and modern styles requiring a solid low end and good definition, including for more technical playing on 24 frets.

The sound

The mahogany body provides a warm and dense foundation, with present lows and a pleasant "chest" feel, ideal for maintaining thickness in the mix. The maple neck enhances attack and precision, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly softens the highs for a natural balance, especially appreciated in fingerstyle playing. The Marcus Blue Humbucker set delivers a generous output level, with body and definition, and the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp allows fine-tuning of the curve through midrange and frequency control: useful for switching from a sharp, modern sound to a rounder, vintage tone. The Pickup Blender facilitates mixing neck and bridge pickups, and the mini toggle Active / Passive helps instantly adapt to the amp, venue, or style.
