Sire's "all-around" flagship bass featuring a Swamp Ash body and a roasted maple neck, the Sire P8 delivers incredible tone and feel at a price that no other manufacturer can compete with.
The Swamp Ash body has brilliant resonance and bell like clarity, Ash is integral to delivering the "Marcus Miller Tone" with its unrivalled definition and snap. Combine with this a roasted maple neck and you have rigidity in both feel and tresponce. Featuring Sire's "edgeless" neck profiling, the neck feels fantastic in the hands with silky smooth edges that help you glide across the neck.
Combine with all of this with a PJ pickup configuration running through the famous Marcus Miller Sire preamp and you have an absolute weapon of a bass at your disposal. 3 Band onboard EQ with variable mid range as well as overriding passive tone control, this is one of the most versatile preamps of any bass on the market. To top it off its loaded with a Heavymass II bridge to efficiently transfer all string resonance directly into the body, increasing sustain and attack.
The P8 is packed with premium features that you simply dont see on a bass at this price point. Its versatility makes it a great option for an array of different techniques, genres and playing styles.

Very smooth ordering process, very quick delivery. Guitar was well packaged and protected.
I'm slightly disappointed with the quality of finish on the guitar. Very scratchy volume pot, low quality plastic knobs. Not up to the same standard as my Fender Player P bass, but plays very nicely.
