Marcus Miller - F10dx 6 cordes Headless Natural

The Sire Marcus Miller F10dx 6-string Headless Natural stands out as a technical solution for musicians looking to combine a wide frequency range with lasting physical comfort. The central feature of this bass is its headless design.

By moving the action towards the body, Sire radically reduces overall weight and eliminates the neck dive effect. The swamp ash body, topped by a seasoned maple top, is carved in a 'single cut' shape that stabilises the instrument against the player. The 5-piece maple and mahogany neck construction ensures direct vibration transfer and structural stability under the tension of the six strings.

To accommodate the physical constraints of a low sixth string, the pitch has been increased to 35 inches. This increased string length provides a firm tension, avoiding the floating aspect of the low B and clarifying the articulation of the notes. The rosewood fingerboard benefits from the Edgeless™ treatment, offering a smooth transition between neck and hand.

On the electronics side, the Marcus Heritage-3 HD system works in concert with the Custom-H Revolution pickups. The control panel allows surgical frequency management through parametric midrange adjustment, while the pickup variation switch offers multiple coil configurations. The use of stainless steel frets prolongs the life of the instrument while promoting a clean attack. Supplied in a Hardfoam case with a wooden thumb rest, this bass is a complete workhorse for studio and stage environments.
