Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp
SIRE’s unique preamp system offers multiple tone controls, giving players the total command to achieve the ideal tone they desire. The use of 18V batteries enables the player to attain unaltered natural sounds with strong and powerful outputs. With the 3-band EQ, players can carry out versatility in tones that will be suited for all music sessions and performances.

Premium Swamp Ash tonewood is usually found in higher-priced instruments. Swamp Ash tonewood is known to produce a well-balanced tone. It is highly resonant and offers a delicate balance of pleasant highs, firm lows and a slightly scooped midrange which is excellent for slap playing. The characteristics of this would enable players to emulate Marcus Miller’s tone a step further.

The top plate of the body is finished with a solid maple top and quilted veneer that covers the swamp ash body. The solid maple top produces a rich, clear and vibrant tone. In addition, the sharp and luxurious wood pattern of the quilted veneer has improved the quality of the design.
