In the Lineage of the Sire Series 6: Fineness, Lightness, and Sandblasted Finishes
Designed for 2025, the P6-5 fits within the DNA of the Sire Series 6 models: a modern, ergonomic, and refined bass with special attention to long-term comfort. The sandblasted solid ash top highlights the grain and enhances the "premium" visual identity, while maintaining the PJ spirit appreciated for its versatility.
An Expressive 5-String for Stage and Studio Bassists
This Sire P6-5 is aimed at intermediate to expert bassists who want a reliable 5-string capable of covering various registers without changing instruments. The PJ configuration is comfortable in rock, pop, funk, soul, R&B, gospel, and studio contexts: the low B remains defined for modern arrangements, while the bridge J pickup provides the necessary attack for percussive lines, pick playing, and slap.
The Sound
The mahogany body delivers rich low-mids, a dense feel under the fingers, and generous sustain, ideal for anchoring the mix. The sandblasted solid ash top adds clarity and a sharper attack, useful for maintaining definition on a 5-string bass. The maple neck and fingerboard enhance precision and articulation in the upper spectrum.
On the electronics side, the hum-canceling split-coil P pickup provides solid and quiet lows, while the single-coil J pickup adds brightness and bite at the bridge. The Marcus "Heritage-3" 3-band preamp allows effective sculpting of Bass, Mids, and Treble, and the push/pull switches to passive mode for a more natural response with tone control.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For a long scale 34" / 864 mm bass, prioritize a 5-string long scale 34" / 864 mm bass string set (nickel for roundness, steel for more attack). A quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is recommended to fully exploit the active mode, as well as an adjustable strap for comfort during long sessions.
