Sire V6 5/CAR Marcus Miller active 5-string bass guitar Candy Apple Red

The Sire V6 5/CAR is an expressive and powerful 5-string active bass guitar with a striking Candy Apple Red finish. This modern J-style bass combines a mahogany body with a solid ash top, finished in a unique sandblasted texture that accentuates the natural wood grain. Despite the extra strings, the bass remains surprisingly light and comfortable, perfect for extended use on stage or in the studio.

Equipped with the Marcus Super-J Revolution pickup set and the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, this V6 offers a wide spectrum of tones – from classic round to modern tight. The active 3-band EQ with no mid-sweep and the passive push/pull function give you maximum control over your sound. The rosewood fingerboard with rounded edges (EDGELESS™) provides a natural playing experience. Combined with DR Dragon Skin+ premium strings, the V6 5/CAR is a top-class instrument, ready for any bassist seeking depth and flair.
