Description

The Sire V1 Bass in Black delivers the classic Marcus Miller inspired Jazz style experience at a price that makes it accessible to almost any player. With its comfortable C shape neck, rolled Edgeless fingerboard edges and a solid mahogany body, it feels and responds like a far more expensive instrument while keeping things simple with a fully passive electronics layout. Designed as an ultra affordable entry into the Sire bass family, the V1 still carries the brand’s trademark playability and attention to detail. The smooth neck, medium frets and 34 inch scale make it easy to get around the fingerboard, while the dual J style pickups and traditional control layout give you all the familiar tones needed for pop, funk, rock and beyond. The V1’s mahogany body provides a warm, full foundation that works brilliantly in a band mix, and the black finish with matching pickguard gives it a clean, stage ready look. Whether you are buying your first serious bass or need a reliable backup that feels instantly familiar, the Sire V1 offers a confident, gig capable platform without stretching your budget. With Sire’s Basic J pickup set and a straightforward passive control scheme, you can quickly dial in everything from tight bridge pickup bite to round neck pickup thump. Combined with stable hardware and a solid four bolt neck joint, the V1 is built to keep up with rehearsals, lessons and live sets alike. Sire Playability at an Entry Level Price The V1 is part of Sire’s new ultra affordable range, but it still benefits from the same design philosophy as their higher tier models. The C shape neck profile, 34 inch scale and medium frets create a familiar feel for beginners and experienced players alike, making it an easy transition from other Jazz style instruments. Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard Sire’s Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges give the V1 a smooth, broken in feel straight out of the box. The rosewood board and 9.5 inch radius make shifting positions comfortable and reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions, ideal for practice, studio work or longer gigs. Classic Passive J Style Electronics A pair of Sire Basic J pickups and a traditional passive layout with individual volume controls and a master tone keep things intuitive and musical. You can blend the neck and bridge pickups to taste, moving from deep, supportive lines to brighter, more articulate tones without needing a complex preamp. Solid Mahogany Body and Reliable Hardware The mahogany body offers a rich, rounded tonal character that supports your sound in any style, while the Sire Basic Bass Bridge and open gear tuners provide stable tuning and consistent performance. The black finish and three ply pickguard complete a timeless look that fits any stage. Key Features Ultra Affordable Marcus Miller Inspired Design – Get into the Sire and Marcus Miller ecosystem without a premium price tag. The V1 brings the familiar Jazz style shape and feel to players who want quality and playability on a tighter budget. Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard – Rolled fretboard edges create a smooth, comfortable playing surface that feels broken in from day one, helping your fretting hand move effortlessly across all 22 frets. Sire Basic J Pickup Set with Passive Controls – Dual J style pickups with individual volume controls and a master tone give you a wide range of usable sounds, from warm neck pickup lines to punchy bridge tones, all with simple, reliable passive electronics. Mahogany Body with C Shape Maple Neck – The mahogany body delivers a warm, full voice while the hard maple neck and comfortable C profile provide stability and a familiar feel, making the V1 a solid choice for practice, recording and live performance.
