THE SIRE SWAMP ASH J BASS

Sire's all-around flagship bass made of Swamp Ash body is now called Sire V8. It is upgraded with the Marcus Miller-favorite Sire Champ neck composed of the EDGELESS™ feature and roasted hard Maple material on the neck and fingerboard for a fancier feel while playing it. It comes with a Sire official gig bag.
