Sire Marcus Miller V7-4 2nd Generation Ash Bright Metallic Red
Product no: 9000-0049-8112 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The new breed of Sire Marcus Miller V7 basses builds on the solid foundation of the popular first series by adding a number of worthy upgrades for even more value for money. Most striking are the new single-coils: a set of Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups featuring standard winding while the magnets have received a special ageing treatment to give you that classic, thick Formvar-wound foundation sound. The ever dependable Heritage-3 preamp is still present and can be switched down into passive mode while active mode offers the ability to cut or boost the 80 to 2000 Hz mid-range for detailed control over your tone.

The V7-4 2nd Generation Ash: Carefully Tweaked To Enhance Playing Comfort, Sound Transfer and Stability

While the maple neck still has the same comfortable C-profile, Sire have carefully tweaked the V7 bass to give you a bit of extra playing comfort. The fretboard edges have been considerately rounded and the frets themselves are a comfortable medium-size supported by a flatter, 9.5-inch radius for even faster riff work. This refreshed Marcus Miller signature is also loaded with the new Heavy Mass String-Thru bridge which, next to ensuring a richer sound, keeps the intonation and tuning stability of this superb J-style in check.
