KEY FEATURES OF THE V10
Roasted Flame Maple Neck & Fingerboard
The Roasted Flame Maple Neck & Fingerboard, processed through a special kiln drying process, gives a similar effect to the wooden structure of a well-managed old vintage instrument. The tonal density is softened like a sound feature on an aged vintage instrument, giving it a natural resonance
Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp System
Top notch 3-band EQ preamp newly developed for this series to meet the needs of Marcus Miller’s versatility and to cover various styles of music
SOLID MAPLE TOP + FLAMED VENEER
Finished with a Solid Maple Top and Flamed Veneer, covering the Ash body for a stronger, clearer, full-bodied sound
Rolled Fretboard Edges
What only custom shops can achieve, is now on the Sire’s new generation. These rounded edges will give users a firmer and more natural grasp compared to other typical fretboards
Marcus Premium-J Revolution Set
JAZZ BASS TYPE
Jazz bass type is the industry’s standard bass model with its signature vintage sound. This is an all-around bass that is suitable for fingering, slapping, and other techniques and styles of playing. With both a classic and modern feel and design, this new bass can produce the desired sound for all genres of music from soft to even strong metal grunge.
MARCUS HERITAGE-3 Preamp
[CORE TECHNOLOGY FOR EXCELLENT SOUND]
SIRE’s unique preamp system is a perfect example that represents our technology and philosophy that is integrated into our instruments.With multiple tone controls, players have total command to achieve the perfect tone they desire. The use of 18v batteries enables the player to attain unaltered natural sounds with strong and powerful outputs. With the 3-band EQ, players are able to carry out versatility in sounds that will be suited for all music sessions and performances. All models are built with the option of both active and passive modes. Even in the passive mode, the volume, tone, and pickup balancer are fully functional, giving the players more control of the tone in any mode.
All models also come with swappable midrange control options that Marcus Miller advocates as a must-have option. The middle frequency control knob allows the players to set the sound frequency to anywhere between 80Hz
2,000Hz. This option will be convenient when trying to find the desired sound.
+SOLID MAPLE TOP
SOLID MAPLE TOP + FLAMED VENEER
The top plate of the body is finished with a Solid Maple Top and Flamed Veneer that covers the Ash body. The Solid Maple Top produces a rich, clear, and vibrant tone. In addition, the sharp and luxurious wood pattern of the Flamed Veneer has improved the quality of the design.
The part of the bass where the player’s arms touches the edge of the body is designed with a Curved Top, giving the player more comfort and stability during their performance.
SIRE V10 models come with a transparent pickguard. A transparent pickguard protects the body’s exterior from being obscured, which prevents the body from scratches during performances. The transparent pickguard is provided separately so the player can choose whether they want to mount it or not.
Premium Swamp Ash
Premium Swamp Ash tonewood is usually found in higher priced instruments. Swamp Ash tonewood is known to produce a well-balanced tone. It is highly resonant and offers a delicate balance of pleasant highs, firm lows, and a slightly scooped midrange which is excellent for slap playing. The characteristics of this would enable players to emulate Marcus Miller’s tone a step further.
MARCUS HEAVY MASS STANDARD BRIDGE
Marcus Miller SIRE V10 bass is equipped with the newly designed Marcus Heavy Mass Standard Bridge which was specially developed at the request of Marcus Miller. This bridge has characteristics of a vintage jazz bass but with heavy mass saddles, giving the bass a rich and punchy sound. The new Marcus Heavy Mass Standard Bridge is a string-through body bridge mechanism that allows a tighter, more accurate, and stable tone.
The battery insertion compartment has changed from a plastic cover to an Ashwood battery cover for long lasting durability and aesthetic upgrade.
ROASTED FLAME MAPLE NECK & FINGERBOARD
The ROLLED FRETBOARD EDGES will give players a firmer and more natural grasp, compared to the typical fretboards. We were well aware of the difficulties we would face in our ambition to apply the rolled fretboard edges in a mass production factory. Together with the production team, we worked tirelessly to make this theory a reality. This was quite a challenge, almost an impossible mission. We tried making several adjustments to the production process and even introduced a new machine. Since our Sire basses also have bindings, this made it exceptionally challenging, way beyond our imaginations. But eventually, we found the answers, and we are ecstatic to present the Rolled Fretboard Edges in all our 2nd Generation models.
The rear side of the V10’s neck is asymmetrical, different from your typical symmetrical necks. In other words, the top part of the neck is more rounded, while the bottom is slightly slimmer. This will give players a more comfortable feeling in the low string area and allow for a more natural, fluid movement to the high notes. Players will be able to have a more sturdy and relaxed grip.
The V10 was designed with much attention to the neck. Together with the rolled edges and asymmetrical neck structure, players will be able to give their best performance by comfortably being able to play for a longer period of time.
Roasted Flame Maple Neck is a neck manufactured through a special kiln drying process that changes the composition and texture of the wood by heating the wood to a temperature above 300 °C in an oxygen free environment to prevent combustion. The Roasted Flame Maple Neck produced through this special drying process increases the strength, yet it is lighter in weight. After this process, the wood becomes more stable and less susceptible to humidity variations. This gives a similar effect to the wooden structure of a well-managed old vintage instrument which has a sound feature that improves the tone density and increases sustain. In addition, it has a beautiful appearance that looks like it is roasted by fire, giving you a stunning, high quality design.
The fingerboard is also a Roasted Flame Maple Fingerboard. Together with the rugged, dense sound of the Roasted Flame Maple neck, the Maple Fingerboard’s high-frequency range is able to produce a crisp and vivid sound.

KEY FEATURES OF THE V3
Indonesian Mahogany Body and Canadian Hard Maple Neck
The V3 body is made with Indonesian Mahogany which is known for its warm, clear, full-bodied sound. The neck is made with Canadian Hard Maple for a premium look and feel.
Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp
Top notch 3-band EQ preamp newly developed for this series to meet the needs of Marcus Miller’s versatility and to cover various styles of music.
Rolled Fretboard Edges
What only custom shops can achieve, is now on the Sire 2nd Gen. These rounded edges will give users a firmer and more natural grasp compared to other typical fretboards.
Highest Quality Hard & Clear Paint
The V3 is coated with the highest quality paint that is also used in the V7 and M7 series. This gives the V3 a more elegant look compared to other introductory basses that are applied with low-cost paints.
MARCUS STANDARD-J REVOLUTION SET
The Marcus Standard-J Revolution Pickup Set is constructed with magnets and coils that have already been tested for compatibility with a mahogany body since this combination was previously used in the M3 models. This gives the V3 the unique, quality sound that is hard to find in introductory basses.

2,000Hz. This option will be convenient when trying to find the desired sound.
The body is made with Indonesian Mahogany rather than Chinese Basswood, Agathis, or Nato : materials commonly used in common low-costing basses. Indonesian Mahogany is well known for its rich, full-bodied tone which produces a warm and clean sound.
HARD & CLEAR PAINT
Most introductory basses are made with hard, less transparent paint. For a more premium look, the V3 models are made with the same high-quality paint used in the V7 and M7 models. We want our customers to experience a bright and cheerful feeling when they see our Sire basses in stores. Just recall the feeling of seeing a low-costing instrument. That unsatisfactory reaction is partially due to the quality of paint. The paint applied on the V3 is not only durable but also aids in getting that better sound quality.
ALL STEEL MATERIAL BRIDGEMARCUS STANDARD BASS BRIDGE
The V3 is equipped with a Marcus Standard Bass Bridge. Typically, bridges in introductory basses are made with a type of alloy using Zinc. Bass bridges with Zinc are easy to manufacture and inexpensive. However, these Zinc alloy bridges may look good on the outside but has difficulty in creating good and quality sounds. Our V3 model’s Marcus Standard Bass Bridge may look like a basic bridge made with Zinc, but it is in fact an All Steel Material Bridge that adds durability and better sound achievement.
The Marcus Standard Bass Bridge also has a Body Thru method that allows the bass string to be adjusted through an opening in the back of the body, allowing a tighter set-up. This mechanism allows a more balanced, accurate, and stable tone.
The battery insertion compartment has changed from a plastic cover to an Ashwood battery cover for long lasting durability and aesthetic upgrade.
