SIRE'S SWAMP ASH PJ BASS

The standard PJ bass of Sire got even better with the Swamp Ash variant that now has the roasted hard Maple neck with the EDGELESS™ feature. Installed with Marcus Miller-approved hardware and electronics, you get the best of sound and experience. It comes with a Sire official gig bag.


P BASS BODY & ROASTED MAPLE NECK

A solid body bass shape made of Swamp Ash preferred to produce defined midrange and strong low ends combined with the premium neck feature of an aged wood that can be achieved by the meticulous process called "torrefaction."

MARCUS MILLER SUPER-PJ REVOLUTION SET

A special combination of Marcus-signature humbucker and single coil pickups allowing precise expressions of both the clear bass and jazz bass tones.

MARCUS MILLER HERITAGE- 3 PREAMP

Composed of a 3-band EQ and a switch allowing you to have complete tonal control from the active or passive modes.

Basic Use

For a balanced sound, set the Pickup Balancer in the center position and keep the EQ controls near the middle position.
To emphasize a brighter and tighter tone, turn the Pickup Balancer toward the bridge pickup and increase the Treble slightly.
To emphasize a warmer and fuller tone, turn the Pickup Balancer toward the neck pickup and increase the Bass slightly.
For more precise tone shaping, adjust the Middle Frequency first, then use the Middle control to cut or boost the selected frequency range.
Use Active mode when you want more control over the EQ.
Use Passive mode when you want a simpler and more natural tone.
