Marcus Miller M6 Headless 6 MS

Having over 20 years of experience in both playing and building instruments, I want to give a highly realistic and objective review.
This bass has exceeded all my expectations. It is extremely lightweight, and the build quality is fantastic. I tested it on two different amplifiers – a budget 300€ home amp and a premium rig worth over 2000€. It performed exceptionally well on both, completely surprising me with its tone and responsiveness.The multiscale design is brilliantly executed. Unlike most multi-scale basses where the perpendicular (neutral) fret is around the 7th fret, Sire placed it at the 15th fret. This means the frets around the 12th position are not as aggressively slanted, making it much more comfortable and natural to play. The body is beautifully crafted from a single piece of wood, which is rare nowadays since even some highly expensive basses are glued from multiple pieces. The finish is flawless.The neck is also masterfully done. It is a multi-laminated neck made of excellent quality wood, with the grain patterns properly oriented at a 90-degree angle – exactly how it should be done, though some expensive brands fail to deliver this level of craftsmanship. The pickups and electronics are excellent, providing great tonal variety, and there is absolutely no need to upgrade them.Now, for a few minor cons and design specifics that are worth mentioning:Ergonomics at the 1st fret: When playing the 6th string on the first fret, my index finger occasionally rubs against the metal headpiece/nut area where the strings are locked, which causes slight discomfort. It might partly be due to my personal playing technique, but it is something to keep in mind regarding the compact headless design.The neck pocket joint could be a fraction of a millimeter tighter near the curves (we are talking about 0.5 mm, nothing serious).The control knobs feel plastic, which is understandable since they had to cut costs somewhere to keep this price point.Sire uses proprietary pickup dimensions, so swapping them out might be tricky for some (though unnecessary as the stock ones sound great).You need to be careful with string selection. The stock 6th string is a .125. If you decide to buy a .130 set, keep in mind that you will have to slightly file the nut slot.The bass arrives perfectly set up right out of the box, so you won’t have to tweak anything. It also comes with an excellent, high-quality padded gig bag.Is it worth the money? Absolutely. You will not regret buying it. The price is more than justified, and the quality is far superior to many well-known brands that cost up to three times more.
I highly recommend it!
Simply put, for this amount of money, you absolutely cannot get a better bass on the market today.
