Sire Marcus Miller U5 Alder Flamed Maple Tobacco Sunburst elektrische short scale basgitaar

Allmänt

For bassists who happen not to have massive hands and lanky limbs, a short scale bass like the Sire Marcus Miller U5 offers way more playing comfort alongside warm and modern passive sound. In fact, any bassist is likely to enjoy the lower tension and lighter feel of the strings caused by the shorter scale length, since tone bends are made a touch easier, while the narrower spacing between the first few frets makes grabbing notes and chords with shorter fingers a much more natural experience.

The U5 Alder: A Multi-Sided Passive, Comfortable and Compact Bass

The foundation of this Sire model is formed by an alder body and bolt-on maple neck finished with the tight feel of a rounded fretboard. The thought put into the resonant transfer has resulted in a string-through-body bridge so that the fullness and clarity of the initial sound is registered with balance by the mounted pair of single-coil PJ-configured pickups. Either send that pure unadulterated P-plus-J sound to your amplifier or adjust the mix using the simple blend pot, then tweak the whole using the tone and volume pots.
