The Sire Marcus Miller M2 5-string bass is endorsed by the world-renowned bassist. This full-featured bass delivers with a resonant mahogany body and Canadian hard maple neck that provide plenty of warmth, clarity and low end. With its rolled fingerboard edges and two Marcus Blue humbuckers paired with a Heritage-3 preamp, the M2 offers exceptional comfort and tone versatility to suit any style.

Versatile Pickups and Preamp Provide Full Tonal Control

The M2's two soapbar-style Marcus Blue humbuckers have been redesigned to produce punchy, solid midrange tones with high output. Combined with the onboard Heritage-3 preamp, which offers a 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange, the M2 provides unmatched tonal versatility. An active/passive toggle switch allows you to choose between active and passive modes for even more sound options.

High-Quality Components for Premium Performance

From its mahogany body and hard maple neck, to its rosewood fingerboard, the M2 is constructed from premium tonewoods. It features a Modern Double Cut body shape, C-shaped neck profile, 24 medium frets and 35" scale length for comfort and playability. Die-cast tuning machines keep the M2 in tune through any performance.

Sleek Look With High-Gloss Finish

The M2's transparent blue high-gloss finish gives it a sleek, stylish look that's sure to turn heads. White dot inlays provide an elegant accent along the fingerboard.

Unmatched Value for the Aspiring Bassist

Whether you're a beginner looking to upgrade to your first serious bass or a pro player seeking quality at an affordable price, the Sire Marcus Miller M2 5-string bass delivers. With premium components, versatile electronics, and an eye-catching design, the M2 punches well above its weight class.

Excellent bass

The White body is glossed and feels great unlike the black one. Plug n Play bass. Great tone passive or active. I want the blue/green one next (maple neck) when available. The price of this bass is under priced. Great job Sire. Thanks for taking care of my shipment GC.

Marcus miller sire m2 gen2

I purchased this at full price as a new item and did not come in the manufacturer box but wrapped in a ton of bubble wrap and put in a box to ship .Also my frets were unfinished and very sharp on edges.

    I play at church, rehearsals and small venues; very nice sound, comfortable, nice setup. Mid pot had an issue (noisy and not connected properly) but my tech repaired it and everything is ok.

    Bass is amazing! I have the P7 4 string and wanted a stingray esque sound paired with a 5 string to fill the gaps of the PJ. Needed a bit of setup but this bass covers a lot of tonal ground for such a low price. Neck is smooth and comfortable to maneuver around and upper access to frets is a breeze.

    I am integrating this bass into my on stage rotation. So far, it is working out well. Time will tell to see if it can handle it.

    All basses vary depending on the density of the wood. Even the same model can vary up to 1.5 lbs Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Bass Guitars are generally between 8.00 and 10.00 lbs. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 8 - 9 lbs.
