BODY & NECK MATERIAL
INDONESIAN MAHOGANY / CANADIAN HARDMAPLE
BODY – INDONESIAN MAHOGANY

For modern feel, the neck is build 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.
ALL STEEL MATERIAL BRIDGE
MARCUS STANDARD BASS BRIDGE (WITH BODY THRU HOLE OPTION)
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.
HARD & CLEAR PAINT
For ordinary introductory basses, most 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 M2.
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 M2 is not only durable, but is also good for better sound.
