Sire Guitars 5-String Marcus Miller P8 Electric Bass Tobacco Sunburst Finish

Sire’s Marcus Miller P8 5-string bass guitar meets at the crossroads of jazzy tone and precision performance! This formidable 5-string boasts a lightweight swamp ash body loaded with a hybrid pickup combo of a Marcus Super-PJ Revolution set —Sweetwater bassists love this configuration since it contains both a traditional split-coil and a bridge-position single-coil, covering everything from vintage-style punchy thump to bright, mid-forward slap tones. Next, the Heritage-3 preamp’s built-in 3-band EQ and mid-frequency control allow you to take studio-level sonic shaping out of the session and straight onto the stage! Finally, the P8’s premium tonewood pairing of a lightweight swamp ash body and a roasted hard maple neck/fingerboard is designed to mirror the sound and feel of Marcus’ own tonal preferences, imparting a clear and articulate edge to your every note. Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential No matter what styles of music you play, you’ll surely appreciate the Marcus Miller P8’s amazing tonal range! It’s equipped with a Heritage-3 active/passive preamp system, allowing you to get as surgical with your tone as you like. Leave it in passive mode and you’ll have control over master volume and master tone, as well as a pickup blend control for dialing in the perfect balance of thump and bark. Engage active mode and you’re rewarded with three bands of EQ, with a sweepable midrange that makes it easy to cement your place in the mix. Heavy-duty Marcus Heavymass II Bridge While often overlooked, the bridge is a key component in getting the most out of your 5-string’s tone. Per Marcus’ own preferences, the bridge in the P8 has been upgraded to a robust Marcus Heavymass II bridge that drastically increases string-to-body vibration. How does that impact your tone? The Marcus Heavymass II bridge maximizes sustain, improves your note-to-note clarity, and adds just a bit more punch when thumping out your favorite lines.
