Sire Marcus Miller V7-5 2nd Generation Alder Tobacco Sunburst

General

Sire continue to further develop and evolve their versatile Marcus Miller V7 5-string basses. This 2nd Generation Alder model not only comes with a similarly appealing price as its predecessor but a number of useful upgrades. Wrap your hand around the neck and you'll feel something you won't quickly find on comparable models: rounded fretboard edges. This, along with a flatter 9.5-inch radius and jumbo frets, significantly improve playing comfort, so you can spit the same licks and riffs as you could with the first generation V7, just with more ease than ever.

The V7-5 2nd Generation Alder: Passive Sound and Active Versatility

Playing comfort isn't the only aspect of this Marcus Miller signature that Sire have continued to hone. Armed with two new Super-J Revolution single-coil pickups that still shape thick, vintage Formvar-style sound but now include a special Alnico magnet ageing treatment, this 5-string bass comes prepared to sling a broad range of classic bass tone. Moreover, since the winning recipe of the versatile electronics section has remained untouched, the highly adaptable V7 offers both passive and active sound and not only comes with a 3-band EQ but the trusty mid frequency control, allowing you to boost or cut the range between 80 and 2,000 Hertz.
