A Deluxe Take on the Classic P10
From its stunning tonewoods to its genre-defying versatility, the Marcus Miller P10dx 5-string bass guitar is the epitome of Sire craftsmanship. This striking bass begins with a lightweight swamp ash body that resonates with every note, while a beautifully flamed maple top adds a touch of clarity to your tone. A dual-pickup PJ pickup configuration covers everything from old-school punch to modern slaps and pops — it’s considered a classic combo at Sweetwater for its ability to effortlessly slot into just about any genre or style. Looking for studio-ready sonic flexibility? Switch on the active Marcus Heritage-3 preamp for access to a 3-band EQ and a mid-frequency control for deep tone-sculpting possibilities. Finally, top-of-the-line Hipshot hardware and a roasted hard maple neck all but guarantee your setup will remain rock solid show after show, session after session.

Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential
No matter what styles of music you play, you'll definitely appreciate the Marcus Miller P10dx'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.
High-end Hipshot hardware
Sire’s Marcus Miller P10dx is bookended by top-of-the-line Hipshot hardware to ensure that your setup remains rock solid! The Hipshot Kickass bridge provides a vast improvement over the classic 5-string bridge design, sporting a high-mass design that greatly enhances string-to-body resonance and sustain. On the other side of the instrument, Hipshot’s USA Ultralite Bass tuning machines are unwavering, retaining your tuning with an incredible level of reliability.
A neck that plays like a dream
The feel and response of any bass neck is crucial for solid performance. The roasted flame maple neck and fingerboard on the Marcus Miller P10dx ensure top-level tone and response. Roasting involves a special kiln-drying process that removes any leftover impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its resonance and overall tone. Roasting also increases the strength and stability of the wood, making it less susceptible to humidity. Add in rolled fingerboard edges, and the P10dx neck is a true standout that will leave an impression upon first play!
