A neck that plays like a dream
Crafted from roasted hard maple with a rosewood fingerboard, the Sire Marcus Miller P5R’s neck enhances note definition and attack to perfectly complement the beefy sound of its alder body. Players at Sweetwater are amazed by its rolled fretboard edges, giving this bass a fast and smooth feel normally reserved for top-tier instruments. This type of attention to detail gives the Marcus Miller P5R a custom shop playability that belies its value-packed price.
Bone nut and steel bridge for superior tone from tip to tail
Superior components like a real bone nut and a steel bridge are more reasons why the Sire Marcus Miller P5R bass stands out in its class. Bone transmits vibrations better than inexpensive plastic nuts, giving you better note definition and attack. The same is true for its all-steel bridge, which enhances your tone beyond what alloy bridges can offer. Also, the bridge allows for both body-through and bridge-through string loading, giving you one more option for customizing your bass setup to your preferences.
