The Sire Marcus Miller P10: the "high-end" spirit within the Sire range
Born from the Sire x Marcus Miller collaboration, the P10 follows a clear philosophy: to offer features and finishes worthy of much more expensive instruments, without compromising playability. Here, we find the Marcus Miller DNA, focused on performance and musicality, with electronics designed to switch from vintage tones to highly sculpted modern settings.
For which bassists and styles?
The Sire Marcus Miller P10 targets intermediate to advanced bassists looking for a 5-string capable of handling stage, studio, and intensive rehearsals. Its Jazz-style pickup set combined with the "Precision type" format makes it comfortable in funk (slap, percussive playing), jazz, fusion, gospel, pop, and modern rock, offering real control over attack and low-end foundation.
Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance: firm lows, present mids, and never harsh highs, ideal for a "mix-ready" sound. The Roasted Maple neck promotes stability and a lively response, while the ebony fingerboard enhances precision and definition, very valuable on a 5-string to keep the low string clear.
The Marcus Super Jazz Revolution pickups deliver a wide palette: articulated grain, snappy slap tone, and enough body for fingerstyle lines. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp extends versatility with bass/treble controls and midrange control featuring adjustable frequency. The active/passive mini toggle switch allows quick switching between a more organic (passive) or more sculpted and powerful (active) approach, without losing the instrument's identity.
Recommended compatible accessories
To fully exploit this 5-string bass with long scale, prioritize a 5-string bass string set long scale 34" / 864 mm (steel for more attack, nickel for a softer feel and rounder top end).
