Description

Sire have impressed us with this New Sire Version 2 Marcus Miller V5 Alder 4-String Fretless Bass Guitar in Vintage White in Bass, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Bass, additional Bass Guitars options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.

Please Note: This listing currently shows images of a fretted version of the Sire V5 bass.

Drawing upon the iconic J-style bass, Sire's utilitarian V5 model has plenty of classic character with its distinctive offset body shape and solid construction — featuring two single-coil pickups for a wide tonal palette.

Further noteworthy appointments include a rock-solid roasted Maple, a fretless fingerboard, open-gear tuners and a genuine bone nut. Available at a fantastic price-point to boot, like all Sire instruments, the V5 is a versatile bass that perfectly blends traditional allure with modern refinement.

Balanced Alder Body

Sire's V5 model boasts a North American Alder body that guarantees a tight, neutral sound with bundles of upper mid-range projection — serving as the perfect tonal foundation for the punchy pickup pairing. A generous belly-cut allows the instrument to rest comfortably against you in standing or sitting positions, making the V5 a practical stage or studio workhorse.

Roasted Maple Neck

Many high-end instruments come fitted with roasted Maple necks, yet Sire has somehow managed to fit its affordable V5 with one — providing you with a truly premium look. "Roasting" is a process that is used to remove all of the natural moisture retained by a tonewood, which ultimately darkens the material and makes it far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates. This means that the V5's neck is incredibly stable — vastly improving tuning stability.

Marcus Vintage-J Revolution Pickups

Two 'Marcus Vintage-J Revolution' single-coils give the V5 a pronounced sonic character; capturing that legendary Jazz voice. Crisp and articulate, these highly-versatile pickups reward all playing styles — particularly finger-style and slap techniques.

High-Quality Hardware

Hardware can be an afterthought for some guitar companies, but Sire has made sure that every detail is executed to perfection with its V5 bass. Sporting a beautifully-machined 'Vintage-S' bridge, this essential component boosts note resonance for a responsive feel and piano-like sustain. A set of Sire 'Premium Open-Gear' tuners put a contemporary spin on this classic-looking bass, engineered to reduce the likelihood of tuning slips.

More info about this Product

Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Fretless Bass Guitars

Fretless bass guitars offer a smooth, expressive playing experience by removing frets, allowing notes to glide seamlessly into one another. This design gives greater control over pitch, vibrato, and dynamics, producing a warm, vocal-like tone that’s popular in jazz, fusion, ambient, and experimental music. Without frets to define each note, accuracy and touch become more important, encouraging a more expressive and intentional playing style. Fretless bass guitars reward careful technique with a unique, fluid sound that stands out in a mix.

Fretless

Fretless instruments have a smooth fingerboard without metal frets, allowing notes to be played by finger placement alone. This design enables continuous pitch variation, subtle slides, and expressive vibrato that are not possible on fretted instruments.

They are most commonly found on bass guitars but also exist in guitars and other stringed instruments. Fretless instruments are valued for their warm, vocal-like tone and expressive feel, making them popular in jazz, fusion, ambient, and experimental styles where nuance and articulation are important.
