Sire V5-4 Alder Vintage White as a passive Jazz bass
If you are looking for a passive Jazz bass with a classic look and straightforward, familiar controls, the Sire V5-4 Alder Vintage White is a solid option. This bass guitar combines a North American alder body with two Marcus Vintage-J Revolution singlecoil pickups, plus separate volume controls for both pickups and a master tone control.
That gives you a simple but versatile setup, letting you fine-tune the balance between both pickups. The 34-inch scale makes this a long scale electric bass, a widely used format for players who want familiar string tension and a standard bass feel.
Construction and playing comfort of the Sire V5-4
The neck is made of roasted hard maple and features rolled fingerboard edges, which noticeably adds comfort during longer playing sessions. With 20 medium frets and a 38 mm bone nut, the Sire V5-4 suits players who appreciate a classic Jazz bass layout.
The Vintage White finish, black 1-ply binding and chrome hardware give this Sire Marcus Miller bass its recognizable traditional appearance. If you want to see this electric bass guitar up close, Magna Music can also help you with personal advice from musicians in the store.
