Product Description
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 neck, 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.
