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.

Comfortable Neck with Rolled Edges

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.

Classic Jazz Style, Modern Playability

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.

Simple, Versatile Passive Electronics

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.

Reliable Hardware for Everyday Use

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.

FEATURES

• Mahogany Body with Marcus Miller Jazz Shape - The mahogany body delivers a warm, rounded low end with plenty of sustain, while the familiar Jazz-style contours keep the bass comfortable and well-balanced for players of all levels.
