Sire Marcus Miller M2-4 Whp Rn

An M2-4 that asserts the "modern" DNA of the range

The M2-4 WHP RN embraces a decidedly contemporary approach: a mahogany body, a maple neck with a C profile, and a performance-oriented electronic setup. Its "New Modern Bass" format and 24 frets position it as a bass designed for access to the upper register, comfort along the entire neck, and a wide tonal palette without being limited to a single musical identity.

For which bassist and styles?

This bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want true flexibility both in the studio and on stage. The humbuckers and 3-band preamp are well suited for styles requiring precision and impact (modern rock, pop, funk, gospel, metal, R&B), while still allowing the option to switch to passive mode for more organic and immediate tones.

The sound

The mahogany body provides a dense sonic foundation, with present low-mids and a natural roundness ideal for "filling" the mix. The maple neck adds attack and definition, useful for fast passages, slap, or right-hand nuances. The Marcus Blue humbuckers deliver a solid output level and balanced response: firm lows, consistent mids, and a smoother high end than a single coil. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp enhances versatility with bass/treble controls and a more refined midrange section thanks to the frequency adjustment, not to mention the blender to precisely balance the pickup mix. The Active/Passive mini-toggle allows switching between immediate simplicity and detailed tone shaping.

Recommended compatible accessories

To fully exploit this 4-string with a long scale, prioritize a long scale bass string set in 45-105 gauge (according to specifications), as well as a strap and a high-quality 6.35 mm jack cable for stage and studio use.
