Sire Series 6, the Modern Balance Between Lightness and Performance
Designed as the brand?s modern "J" evolution, the V6-4 LH incorporates the strengths of Sire?s bestsellers while adding a lighter body and spectacular sanded finishes. The mahogany/ash combination highlights the swamp ash grain while providing a mix of warmth and attack favored by demanding bassists.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for left-handed players from beginner to advanced levels seeking a reliable work and stage bass. Its versatility easily covers jazz, funk/slap, soul, pop, and modern rock, with immediate playability thanks to the "C" neck profile and 9.5" radius.
Sound
The mahogany back offers rich low-mids and natural sustain, while the solid ash top adds attack and clarity. The maple neck and fingerboard provide snap and clear definition, especially in slap playing. The Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups (single-coil "J" type) deliver a precise and articulated tone. The Marcus Heritage-3 3-band preamp allows fine sculpting of bass, mids, and treble; the passive mode activated by "push/pull" produces a more vintage sound, ideal for an "old-school" vibe. The Modern-S bridge promotes vibration transfer for even sustain across the 20 frets.
