A P6-5 LH in the Spirit of Sire x Marcus Miller: The "Marcus" DNA in Series 6 Version
The P6-5 LH continues the line of Sire instruments developed with Marcus Miller: a playability-focused approach, reliable component choices, and modern electronics serving versatility. This Series 6 version clearly emphasizes ergonomics and efficiency while maintaining a strong visual identity thanks to the sandblasted solid ash top.
Who Is This 5-String Left-Handed Bass For?
This Sire is aimed at left-handed bassists from intermediate to expert level who want a PJ capable of everything: fingerstyle groove, slap, pop, modern rock, gospel, soul, and RnB. The Precision format offers immediate handling, while the 34" / 864 mm scale length contributes to a clear response on the B string, useful for tight playing as well as studio mixing.
The Sound
The combination of mahogany (warmth, mid-low density) and solid ash (attack, definition) creates a very musical balance: body in the lows, but also air and "snap" when pushing the playing. The P split hum-cancelling neck pickup delivers punch and a vintage-typed grain, ideal for laying down a rhythm. The J single-coil bridge pickup adds growl, precision, and better attack definition. With the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, you can switch from a round passive sound to a sharper active response, with a 3-band EQ designed to quickly carve your place in the mix, and a passive mode accessible in one move via push/pull.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this 5-string, prioritize 5-string bass strings long scale 34" / 864 mm (for example 45-130 or 40-125 depending on your attack). A wide strap improves comfort during long performances, and a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable helps maintain signal clarity, especially in active mode. A clip-on tuner remains an essential practical tool for rehearsals and on stage.
