The Sire V8 S5/NT is the flagship 5-string in Sire's V8 series, featuring a natural finish with a swamp ash body. This active J-style bass guitar features the acclaimed Sire Champ roasted hard maple neck with EDGELESS™ beveled fingerboard edges for ultimate playing comfort. The torrefaction process gives the wood the tone and feel of a perfectly played instrument, making this bass not only sound great but also play exceptionally.
The V8 is equipped with Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups with '70s spacing, which deliver a clear, dynamic tone. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp with midrange frequency control offers extensive tone control in both active and passive modes. The Marcus Heavy Mass II bridge guarantees stability and sustain, and the instrument comes standard with an official Sire gig bag. This is a professional bass guitar for the serious bassist who settles for nothing but the highest quality.
