THE SIRE D BASS TYPE

Solid body bass shape specifically designed to support quick response of sound enabling efficient power and excellent control.

ROASTED HARD MAPLE NECK

A feature of an aged wood that can be achieved by the meticulous process called "torrefaction."

D- VINTAGE DUO

The Marcus Vintage D-bass single-coil pickup and the Marcus D-bass bridge made of brass saddle and steel plate with ideal string spacing comprise the suitable tandem for very clear vintage sound production.

D5 CONTROL LAYOUT

1. Tone

Controls the overall brightness of the instrument. Turn one direction for a warmer, darker tone, or the opposite direction for a brighter, clearer tone.

2. Volume

Controls the overall output level. Turn up to increase volume, or turn fully down to mute the instrument.

Basic Use

For a clear, natural sound, turn the Volume fully up and keep the Tone fully open. Reduce the Tone slightly for a warmer sound, or turn it further down for a darker, smoother tone.
