The 20-fret fretboard allows for effortless navigation across the neck, both in the lower and upper registers.

An additional advantage of this bass is its active/preamp system, which allows for precise tone control. Bass, midrange, and treble adjustments enable excellent sound customization for any musical situation. The ability to connect directly to a mixer or amplifier provides ease of use and professional results.

In summary, the Marcus Miller P8-4 TS is a fantastic bass instrument that offers excellent sound, solid construction, and an elegant appearance. Regardless of musical style, this bass will meet the expectations of any bassist. If you are in search of a high-quality instrument that will inspire you to creatively explore sound, the Marcus Miller P8-4 TS is a worthy choice.

I was looking for a very good around bass for my studio.
Asked friends and was suggested a precision model. Further research made me also lean towards Jazz bass (due to more "percussive" sound and versatility also and thinner neck (I play mainly guitar) ) and found the upper price range of this Sire series to offer the best of both worlds.

After great helpful dialogue with Thomann and email directly with Sire support I landed in this one.

And boy it did bit fail me at all.
Set up and feel close to perfect and so far I have only tuned it..

Very pleased with the purchase and model even though it was a little more costly than looking for. The model slightly less expensive do not include the very nice bag that came with this one. So I think the 8 version provides better value

Ein klassischer P-Bass mit dem "bisschen" mehr eines Jazz Pick ups bei der Bridge. Diese Konfiguration gibt es auch schon ewig. Dieser Bass kann aber definitiv mit anderen aus Preiskategorien darüber mithalten. Der passive Modus gibt schon einen tollen Sound. Wenn man dann noch den aktiven Preamp dazuschaltet, kann man auch on the Fly verschiedene Sounds rausholen und so wird ein aktiver PJ zu einem Multitool. Gerade dieser, denn man kann die Mid Frequenz sehr schön einstellen. Die Verarbeitung des Instruments ist hervorragend. Ein schöner Jazz Bass Hals mit abgerundetem Fretboard und Frets, sodass nichts stört beim spielen. Die Farbgebung ist auch in einem Vintage Style gehalten. Einfach grandios
