Sire U5 A4/TS Marcus Miller short scale bass guitar 4-string passive alder flamed maple tobacco sunburst

The Sire U5 A4/TS is a high-quality short-scale bass guitar designed in collaboration with Marcus Miller. This four-string passive bass offers a shorter 30-inch scale length, providing increased playing comfort without compromising tone quality. Thanks to the combination of a North American alder body and a beautifully figured maple top, this bass delivers a warm, full tone with a distinct low end that perfectly complements a variety of musical styles. The tobacco sunburst finish gives the instrument a classic look, while the carefully rounded fingerboard edges contribute to a smooth playing experience.

The versatile PJ pickup configuration—with a Marcus Super Precision pickup in the neck position and a Jazz pickup at the bridge—makes this bass suitable for everything from vintage soul to modern pop or rock. Passive electronics, with individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control, offer players complete control over their sound without unnecessary complexity. The U5 is ideal for both beginners looking to start on a comfortable instrument and advanced bassists seeking an inspiring short-scale bass with professional build quality.
