General

This 2nd Generation Marcus Miller V10 from Sire is not to be overlooked if you're into mid-range J-style basses with a modern look and sound to match. This 4-string model features a sublime quilted maple top and ultra-stable, roasted maple neck for a cultivated appearance. Sire also include a separate transparent scratchplate, so the choice to mount it is entirely up to you. Further completed by an alder body, this Sire V10 effortlessly fits any modern scene and comes complete with its own gig bag.

The Sire Marcus Miller V10-4 2nd Generation: Stable, Solid, Sustain

The wood used to build the V10-4 2nd Gen ensures a balanced, sustain-rich bedrock sound with accurate basses, bright trebles and a subtle mid-scoop. Since the neck has received a special treatment, a nicely rounded bit of punch is mixed in while two Premium J-Revolution single-coils take over as soon you hook up an amp for a solidly amplified sound. After you've done that, the tone controls let you switch between active and passive modes with adjustable mids for a broad tonal palette to use in all kinds of styles. Meanwhile, stable tuning and sound transfer are asserted by Premium Open Gear tuners, a bone string nut and a Marcus Miller Heavy Mass Standard bridge.

Wrote the following about Sire Marcus Miller V10-4 2nd Generation Ash Natural

Eerst een paar kleine opmerkingen:
Deze bas wordt in Indonesië gebouwd en niet in Zuid Korea (zoals hier gespecificeerd)
Behalve de doorzichtige slagplaat (los meegeleverd incl. schroefjes) wordt er ook één chrome pickupcover meegeleverd.
Levertijd staat 5 dagen maar was in de praktijk 15 dagen.
Het koste wat afstelwerk om de geleverde bas net zo goed spelend te krijgen als de demo wall-hanger in Goes.

Maaaarrr:
WAT EN BAS! speelt heerlijk, super resonant en geweldig geluid. De pre-amp doet z'n werk (ook passief top met gelukkig weinig volume verschil naar aktief) Fijn instelbaar zonder dat het ingewikkeld wordt.
De bas is ook niet al te zwaar, bouwkwaliteit is top. Hals is "creamy" en soepel. meegeleverde tas is van zeer goede kwaliteit.
Blijvertje alhier!
