Essential Information About the Sire P6-5 "Butterscotch" Bass Guitar

  • Versatile 5-string PJ with Marcus Super-PJ pickups (P split hum-cancelling + J single coil) and active/passive mode to cover everything from warm vintage to modern punchy tones.
  • Lightweight Series 6 construction designed for comfort on stage and in the studio, featuring 2025 sanded finishes that highlight the ash grain.
  • Premium woods: mahogany body topped with a sanded solid ash top, offering an ideal balance between warmth and attack.
  • Carefully crafted playability: maple neck with a "C" profile, rosewood fingerboard, 34" / 864 mm scale length, and 9.5" / 241 mm radius for immediate comfort.

In the Line of Sire Series 6: Comfort and 2025 Sanded Finishes

The P6-5 embodies Sire?s evolution towards lighter, more ergonomic basses without sacrificing the beloved sonic DNA of the brand?s PJ models. The "Butterscotch" sanded finish reveals the ash grain, providing a natural aesthetic and unique feel that distinguishes the 2025 series.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a reliable and versatile 5-string. The PJ configuration and 3-band preamp cover funk, soul, pop, rock, R&B, jazz, and gospel. In passive mode, you get vintage tones; in active mode, a modern punch that cuts through the mix, both live and in the studio.

The Sound

The P split neck pickup delivers a full, naturally quiet low end, while the J single coil bridge pickup adds articulation and brightness. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp offers musical Treble/Mid/Bass EQ; the push/pull switch allows switching to passive mode with a dedicated true tone. The mahogany body provides warmth and sustain, while the sanded solid ash top adds the attack and definition needed to keep the low B note clear. The Modern-S bridge tightens response and stabilizes tuning, while the maple neck/rosewood fingerboard balances attack and warmth.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Choose a set of 5-string long scale 34" bass strings (nickel or stainless steel, gauges suited to your playing style), a gig bag or hard case for 5-string 34" bass, a wide strap to distribute weight, a clip-on tuner, and a quality straight/right-angle jack cable. These universal accessories are fully compatible with a 5-string electric bass with a 34" scale length.
