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.

Marcus Miller en SIRE willen dat iedereen geniet en muziek speelt. Om dit mogelijk te maken, hebben Marcus Miller en SIRE de afgelopen jaren de missie gehad om de beste kwaliteit bas te bouwen tegen een ongelooflijke prijs, zodat deze voor iedereen beschikbaar is. het resultaat is een nieuwe lijn van Marcus Miller basmodellen met een geweldig geluid, een fantastische nieuwe look en van hoge kwaliteit maar met een buitengewoon lage prijs. We zijn extatisch dat SIRE Marcus Miller bassen nu beschikbaar zijn voor iedereen met de nieuwe hoop dat meer mensen kunnen spelen en genieten van de muziek waar ze van houden.

Het unieke voorversterkersysteem van SIRE is een perfect voorbeeld van onze technologie en filosofie die in onze instrumenten is geïntegreerd. Met meerdere toonregelingen hebben spelers de volledige controle om de perfecte klank te bereiken die ze wensen. Het gebruik van 18v-batterijen stelt de speler in staat om ongewijzigde natuurlijke geluiden te bereiken met sterke en krachtige uitgangen. Met de 3-bands EQ zijn spelers in staat om veelzijdigheid in geluiden uit te voeren die geschikt zijn voor alle muzieksessies en uitvoeringen. Alle modellen zijn gebouwd met de optie van zowel actieve als passieve modi. Zelfs in de passieve modus zijn de volume-, toon- en pickup-balancer volledig functioneel, waardoor de spelers in elke modus meer controle over de toon hebben.

We hebben de magnetiseringsmethode van de Alnico Magnet veranderd om het vergelijkbare verouderingsgeluid van een 20 jaar oude Heavy Formvar pickup te produceren. We hebben de spoel veranderd in gewoon email en een programma geïnstalleerd in een spoelopwindmachine waarmee we bijna dezelfde snelheid en kronkelende crossover-hoek konden belichamen als de handgemaakte wikkeling. We besloten deze pickup-technologie "Revolution Pickup Technology" te noemen.
