Excellent bass, amazing neck feel, the wood colours :-)
Pete.W 05.02.2024
Coming to bass as a long time guitar player, I was really happy to get the Sire P5R. I've always loved Rosewood fingerboards and a simple bass made sense with a great look (natural finish colour). The neck is thick and rounded, but in a way that fills the hand without overwhelming it (I have small hands). The edgeless fingerboard is extremely nice and the instrument comes across as being far more expensive than it is. I tried multiple Squiers and Fenders in the local shop that cost more or even double the price, but comparatively they were very clunky feeling. Incredibly clean fretwork and setup overall, just a slight truss rod turn needed and nothing else done.

For sound, I'm running it through a Fender Rumble 100 combo or recording software. The sound is very full and deep sound, as you would expect from a P-bass and I can hear a lot of difference when you move towards and neck or bridge. I'm learning as a fingerstyle player mostly but having slapped it a little bit, it can do that, but with a lot more punch and less twang.

I keep coming back to the look, as shallow as that seems though, because the roasted maple on the neck is almost as dark as the rosewood fingerboard so that in my hand it looks like I'm holding a two tone piece of chocolate. I'm also completely sold on the front of the headstock where the roasted maple is lacquered for an even darker shine, that makes the silver writing really pop. Truly one of the nicest looking instruments I can recall seeing, especially up close and to get this for 488 euros is a steal.

My only slight negative is that the bass head is slightly heavy as the instrument tends to sit fairly horizontally in my hand. I have a wider leather strap and it's perfectly good to play, but I have heard people change the tuners for lightweight ones and say it improves this. Personally, for the relatively simple bass lines I tend to play, this is minor negative.

Une bonne PB
Gilles 15 cordes 20.09.2023
J'ai déjà une Marcus Miller V7 Alder-5 TS de 2016 dont je suis très satisfait , et j'ai choisi cette Marcus Miller P5R Alder-4 NT pour roder du côté des Precision Bass sans pour autant briser la tirelire.
A sa livraison, petit réglage de l'action et de la justesse, la lutherie est bien finie, ce modèle est d'un poids assez léger.
Les frets sont peut être légèrement saillantes à mon goût, mais sans avoir besoin de les rectifier, je ne m'en suis plus soucié après quelques concerts. La tête est discrète, elle cache bien son jeu...
Modèle passif, volume + tona, juste ce qu'il faut pour envoyer du lourd.
Au doigts et au médiator, pas ce concession, c'est le grain d'une PB. Pour les puristes, je trouve que sa sonorité est présente dans les médiums. C'est certainement dû aux cordes de tirant light montées d'origine. Le micro encaisse bien les attaques XXL du médiator, et restitue très bien le jeu nuancé. Très bon sustain, même avec ce jeu light. Pas de bruit de fond même avec du gain à lampe, tout ce qu'il faut pour jouer sans soucis.
Sur scène, elle passe par un préampli Two Note The bass et ensuite vers la console, le son est bien défini, belle présence, elle tient bien son rôle.
Je suis satisfait de ce modèle qui a permis d'élargir ma palette de sonorité.
Je la garde...

Das P Bass Monster

Kann man nichts zu sagen ausser:

Du willst ohne Abstriche einen richtigen P Bass und kein Squire oder Fender Player Schrott?
Dann wird dich der Sire P5 glücklich machen.

Wenn der Bass vom Fender wäre würde er in der Qualität wahrscheinlich 1999€ kosten.
