North American alder body
A popular choice for most bass guitars is the North American alder. Other basses at this price range commonly use basswood or agathis tone wood but Sire Guitars chooses the traditional North American alder which is known for its strong, clear full-bodied sound, with beefy mids and excellent lows that is perfect for a traditional sound.
Bone nut
The nut is one of the most important parts of the guitar that influences the performance, playability, and tone of the instrument. Depending on the quality of the material and elasticity, the nut can either improve or degrade the sound. Although the bone nut is more costly and harder to work with, it is considered to deliver more balanced, clearer and smoother tones than plastic or other materials.
Ebony fingerboard
Ebony fingerboards are made with very dense wood that delivers clear, crisp, and well-rounded tones.
Marcus Heavy Mass bridge
Marcus Miller SIRE P7+ bass is equipped with the newly designed Marcus Heavy Mass Standard Bridge.This was specially developed at the request of Marcus Miller, giving the bass a rich and punchy sound. The new bridge allows a string-through body method or a string through bridge method. The string through body method allows a tighter, more accurate and stable tone.
