Description
Let us introduce you to the Sire F10 Dx 5 Headless Bass Guitar in Natural Spalted Maple Top.
The Sire F10 Dx 5 Headless Bass in Natural pairs a stunning spalted maple top with an ultra-modern headless design, giving you a lightweight, perfectly balanced five string that feels as good as it looks. With a neck-thru construction, extended 35 inch scale and Sire’s acclaimed Marcus Heritage-3 HD preamp, it is built to deliver premium tone and playability for serious bassists who need precision, comfort and versatility on stage and in the studio.
This deluxe modern single cut design offers rock-solid stability and effortless upper fret access, while the Ebony Edgeless fingerboard and stainless frets make every position feel smooth and controlled. The Marcus Custom-H Revolution pickups with wooden covers provide a refined, powerful voice that can be shaped from vintage warmth to modern clarity via the flexible onboard electronics. Finished in a natural swamp ash and spalted maple combination, the F10 Dx 5 Headless is a professional instrument that stands out both sonically and visually.
Ultra-modern Headless Comfort
The headless construction dramatically reduces overall weight and eliminates neck dive, giving you exceptional balance whether you are standing or seated. With no headstock to contend with, the bass feels compact and controlled, making long rehearsals and gigs far less fatiguing. It is an ideal choice if you want a sleek, contemporary feel without sacrificing scale length or tonal authority.
Neck-thru Stability and Sustain
A 5 piece hard maple and mahogany neck-thru design runs the full length of the instrument, enhancing sustain and providing a consistent, resonant response across all five strings. This construction also improves upper fret access, so complex lines and solos higher up the neck feel natural and unrestrained. The result is a bass that feels incredibly solid under the fingers and responds evenly wherever you play.
Ebony Edgeless Fingerboard and Stainless Frets
The Ebony Edgeless fingerboard with rolled fretboard edges offers a fast, comfortable playing surface that feels broken-in from day one. Medium 2.4 mm stainless steel frets add durability and a slick feel, resisting wear even under heavy gigging schedules. Combined with the 12 inch radius and 35 inch scale, this layout supports low, clean action and precise intonation for modern techniques and extended range playing.
Marcus Heritage-3 HD Electronics
Loaded with Marcus Custom-H Revolution pickups and the Marcus Heritage-3 HD preamp, the F10 Dx 5 Headless gives you a wide tonal palette at your fingertips. The comprehensive control set, including volume and tone, blender, three band EQ with selectable mid frequency and a pickup variation switch, allows you to dial in everything from tight, articulate slap tones to deep, rounded fingerstyle sounds. Aluminium black knobs keep the layout clear and tactile, so you can make confident adjustments mid-performance.
