The body is made with Indonesian Mahogany instead of Chinese Basswood, Agathis, or Nato, which are materials commonly used in ordinary low-cost basses. Indonesian Mahogany is known for its rich, full-bodied tone which produces a warm and clean sound. The neck is made with Canadian hard maple. With its hardness and strength it minimizes the movement and stabilizes the neck to maintain the original shape and condition. For modern feel, the neck is built with 12” radius. Rosewood fingerboard with medium size frets that will offer ease and comfort in playability. The fret board is made with rosewood to warm and round sound. The M2 is equipped with Marcus Standard Bass Bridge. Just by looking at it, the bridge may look like a low-cost bridge made with Zinc plate or Zinc saddle. However, the bridge is made with a Steel saddle and Steel plate. Normally, introductory basses use a type of alloy called Zinc. Bass bridges made with Zinc is very easy to manufacture and inexpensive. However, these Zinc bridges may look good on the outside, but it is difficult to create a good bass sound. The M2 model’s Marcus Standard Bass Bridge may look like a simple basic bridge made with Zinc, but it is an All Steel Material Bridge. The Marcus Standard Bass Bridge also has a Body Thru method that allows the bass string to be adjusted through the hole in the back of the body, allowing for a more tensioned set-up. This mechanism allows for a more tight, accurate, and stable tone Most ordinary introductory basses are made with hard, less transparent paint. However, the highest-grade paint used in the V7 and M7 models are also used in the V3. When you see Sire basses in stores or other pricey instruments, you would normally experience a bright and cheerful feeling. It would be a different feeling from the low-cost instruments. That different feeling comes from paint. The paint applied to the V3 is not only durable, but is also good for better sound.

PPS Tusk is much stronger and is more responsive than plastic nut that is commonly found in less expensive instruments. PPS tusk nut produces more stable, balanced, and tighter tone. It enhances string vibration for maximum output. Rosewood fingerboard delivers Warm and round sound.
