Within the Sire range born from the collaboration with Marcus Miller, the P series translates the punch and simplicity of a Precision into a contemporary format. The "Alder-5" version adds a 5th string to extend the low register while maintaining the direct response and versatility that have made the brand famous alongside the V series (Jazz-inspired).
Perfect for beginner to advanced bassists seeking a reliable and musical instrument. Its voice shines in rock, pop, soul, funk, R&B, gospel, and hip-hop. The low B string strengthens the rhythmic foundation without compromising clarity. The C-shaped profile and 9.5" radius offer natural comfort for fingerstyle, pick, or slap playing.
The core of the sound comes from a Precision-type pickup (split, passive) placed in the middle position: hum-cancelling, it delivers generous lows and singing mids. The alder body provides balance and warmth, while the roasted maple (neck and fretboard) adds attack and definition. The 1 volume / 1 tone electronics cover everything from a soft "Motown" vibe to a modern bite. The 34" scale length tensions the B string for a firm low end with good sustain, supported by the Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge.
