Despite its ultra-affordable price tag, the V1 is packed with thoughtful details that make a real difference on stage and in the studio. The mahogany body provides a warm, full low end, while the Sire Basic J pickups and simple passive controls give you all the punch, growl and clarity you need for everything from funk and soul to rock and pop. Finished in a striking Tidepool colour, it looks every bit as good as it feels.
The V1 features a hard maple neck with Sire’s Edgeless rolled fretboard edges, giving you that famously smooth Sire feel. The C-shape profile and 34 inch scale will feel instantly familiar, while the 9.5 inch radius and medium frets make everything from first-position grooves to higher-register fills feel controlled and comfortable.
Using the Marcus Miller Jazz body shape, the V1 balances beautifully whether you are sitting or standing. The contoured mahogany body keeps things lightweight and resonant, with a rounded feel that stays comfortable through long rehearsals and gigs.
A pair of Sire Basic J single coil pickups are wired to traditional Jazz-style controls: individual volume knobs for each pickup and a master tone. This layout lets you quickly dial in everything from tight, bridge-pickup bite to fat, neck-pickup warmth, or blend both for that classic scooped J-bass sound.
The Sire Basic bass bridge and open-gear tuners provide solid tuning stability and consistent performance. Chrome hardware and a black 3-ply pickguard complete the look, giving the V1 a clean, professional aesthetic that suits any stage.
The Sire V1 Bass in Tidepool delivers classic Jazz style and feel at a price that makes it perfect for first-time players and working bassists alike. Built around Sire’s Marcus Miller Jazz body shape with a smooth C-shape maple neck and rolled Edgeless fretboard, it offers an easy, comfortable playing experience with a familiar passive J-style sound that drops straight into any mix.
