This Marcus Miller Signature Will Inspire and Amaze
The Marcus Miller P10 Alder 4-string bass guitar is a super performer whether on stage or in the studio. The P10 is positively loaded with top-level components and appointments that result in wonderful tone, playability, and stage-ready presentation. To begin, the V10 features a resonant alder body with a solid maple top and flamed maple veneer, yielding a punchy, pristine, and powerful bass tone. A roasted flame maple neck and fretboard offer impeccably smooth playability, encouraging expressive technique up and down the neck. And a duo of Marcus Super-PJ Revolution Set pickups is paired with the Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp system, working together to deliver authoritative, incredible low-end tone that can be shaped for any style. Finally, to add even more comfort, a Sire-designed Curved Top upper bout lets your arm rest and relax more easily while you perform — an added touch that bassists here at Sweetwater really appreciate.

Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential
No matter what styles of music you play, you’ll definitely appreciate the Marcus Miller P10’s amazing tonal range. It’s equipped with a Heritage-3 active/passive preamp system, allowing you to get as surgical with your tone as you like. Leave it in passive mode and you’ll have control over master volume and master tone, as well as a pickup blend control for dialing in the perfect balance of thump and bark. Engage active mode and you’re rewarded with three bands of EQ, with a sweepable midrange that makes it easy to cement your place in the mix.
A neck that plays like a dream
The feel and response of any bass neck is crucial for solid performance. The roasted flame maple neck and fingerboard on the Marcus Miller P10 ensure top-level tone and response. Roasting involves a special kiln-drying process that removes any leftover impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its resonance and overall tone. Roasting also increases the strength and stability of the wood, making it less susceptible to humidity. In addition, a slightly asymmetrical rear side on the P10 neck means the top is more rounded while the bottom is slightly slimmer. The result is more comfort in the low string area and a more natural, fluid path to those higher notes. Add in rolled fingerboard edges, and the P10 neck is a true standout that will leave an impression upon first play!
