A 5-string Worthy of Marcus Himself
Sire’s Marcus Miller V10dx 5-string bass is a deluxe take on the renowned V10, upgraded with enhanced hardware and superior tonewoods. The V10dx’s resonant swamp ash body is topped with a solid piece of flame maple, imparting a bright, articulate edge to your tone. Next, the roasted flame maple neck/fingerboard and Hipshot Hardware bring a whole new meaning to the word “stability” — no matter how hard you push this bass, your setup is all but guaranteed to remain rock solid. A pair of Marcus Super J Revolution pickups are voiced to capture Marcus’ own tonal preferences; however, if you’re sculpting your own sound, the Heritage-3 preamp’s 3-band EQ and midrange control offer endless sonic possibilities. Sweetwater is home to a vast assortment of Sire instruments at many different price points, but if you’re after the very best, look no further than the Marcus Miller V10dx!

Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential
No matter what styles of music you play, you'll definitely appreciate the Marcus Miller V10dx'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.
High-end Hipshot hardware
Sire’s Marcus Miller V10dx is bookended by top-of-the-line Hipshot hardware to ensure that your setup remains rock solid! The Hipshot Kickass bridge provides a vast improvement over the classic 5-string bridge design, sporting a high-mass design that greatly enhances string-to-body resonance and sustain. On the other side of the instrument, Hipshot’s USA Ultralite Bass tuning machines are unwavering, retaining your tuning with an incredible level of reliability.
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 V10dx 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. Add in rolled fingerboard edges, and the V10dx neck is a true standout that will leave an impression upon first play!
