Comfortable to play with thundering bass tones? Yep, Sire have added a short scale bass to their range! The U5 features a short scale length (distance between the bridge and nut) which not only makes the bass more comfortable, it provides it with a more emphasised low-end. When you combine these characteristics with its modern aesthetics and the build and sound quality that Sire have built their reputation on, the result is a versatile, great value bass that beginners and more experienced players will have a lot of fun playing.

Short Scale

Short scale basses have been growing in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. The shorter scale length results in a lower string tension which makes it much easier to fret and bend notes on a bass. This makes it great for both beginners looking for their first bass as well as guitarists who want a bass in their collection but find regular basses uncomfortable to play. The impact on tone is another reason why short scale basses have become popular. With shorter, looser strings you get less high-end frequencies when you play a note which leaves you with a more pronounced low-end. It sounds weird to say but a short-scale bass actually sounds more bass-y! These tonal properties make short scale basses great for more experienced bassists looking for a different sound to add to their arsenal.

Pickups

The U5 features the popular P/J pickup configuration. The P-Bass style split-coil pickup in the middle offers classic warm, rounded bass tones while the J-Bass style bridge pickup offers a tighter, snappier, and more articulate sound. These pickups, and the ability to blend between the two, offer a wide range of  range of tones to suit almost any genre you can think of.

Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Short Scale Bass Guitars

Short scale bass guitars use a reduced scale length, making them more compact and easier to play than standard long scale basses. The shorter string length results in lower tension, giving a softer feel under the fingers and a slightly warmer, rounder tone. They’re a great choice for players with smaller hands, guitarists moving to bass, or anyone looking for a more comfortable, relaxed playing experience. Despite their size, short scale bass guitars remain versatile instruments, capable of delivering solid low end with a distinctive character.

Tobacco Sunburst

Tobacco sunburst is a classic guitar finish that fades from a warm amber or golden centre into darker brown edges, often with subtle black shading at the outer rim. It became popular on vintage electric and acoustic guitars and is closely associated with traditional craftsmanship and timeless instrument design.

The finish highlights the natural grain of the wood while giving the guitar a rich, warm appearance that feels both elegant and understated. Tobacco sunburst is especially popular on vintage-style instruments, where it reinforces a sense of heritage and character without being visually bold or modern.
