Designed for bassists looking for a more manageable instrument, the Sire Marcus Miller U5 Alder-4 Natural short-scale electric bass is easy to pick up from the very first notes. The 30" pitch reduces string tension. This makes for smoother, more accessible playing.

The compact size makes it easier to play for longer without tiring. The weight is kept to a minimum, making it ideal for long rehearsals or standing sessions. The playing position remains natural.

The PJ configuration allows you to switch from a round sound to a more precise rendition, depending on the mix of microphones. Each pick-up has its own volume. Overall adjustment is made with a simple, direct tone.

Passive operation keeps the signal natural without additional processing. The sound reacts directly to the attack of the hand. This gives more organic control.

The alder body provides a balance between warmth and definition. Notes remain clear throughout the entire range. It works in many styles.

The maple neck has a C-shaped profile and sits well in the hand. The maple fingerboard with rounded edges gives a fluid feel under the fingers. Comfort remains constant throughout.

The 9.5" radius makes it easy to move around. Positions can be found quickly. It helps to keep your playing relaxed.

The 20 mm spacing allows precise right-hand playing. The vintage-style bridge contributes to sustain. The tuning machines provide good stability.

The Natural finish brings out the wood grain without artifice. The overall look is sober and effective!
