The Sire P8 S5/NT is a professional 5-string PJ bass guitar that perfectly combines classic design and modern functionality. The body is crafted from swamp ash , known for its rich midrange and powerful low end. Combined with the roasted hard maple neck —topped with the smooth EDGELESS™ fingerboard —this bass offers an excellent balance of tone, sustain, and playability. The Natural finish accentuates the wood grain and provides a pure, timeless look.
The bass is equipped with the Marcus Super-PJ Revolution pickups , which allow you to switch effortlessly between full, punchy Precision tones and bright Jazz timbres. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp offers both active and passive control with a versatile 3-band EQ. Thanks to high-quality components such as the Marcus Heavymass II bridge , chrome hardware , and ivory pearl pickguard , this P8 S5 is a reliable and versatile choice for the studio, stage, or rehearsal space.
