A neck that plays like a dream
Crafted from Canadian hard rock maple and featuring a rosewood fretboard, the Sire Marcus Miller V3's neck enhances note definition and attack to perfectly complement the rich sound of its mahogany body. Players at Sweetwater are amazed by its rolled fretboard edges, giving this bass a fast and smooth feel like no other. This type of attention to detail gives the Marcus Miller V3 a custom shop playability that belies its value-packed price.
Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential
Bassists of all stripes and styles will surely appreciate the Marcus Miller V3's amazing tonal range. It's equipped with a Heritage-3 active/passive preamp system, which allows you to get as surgical with your sound 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 any mix.
Bone nut and steel bridge for superior tone from tip to tail
Superior components like a real bone nut and a steel bridge are more reasons why the Sire Marcus Miller V3 bass stands out in its class. Bone transmits vibrations better than inexpensive plastic nuts, giving you better note definition and attack. The same is essentially true for its all-steel bridge, which enhances your tone beyond what inferior alloy bridges can offer. Also, the bridge allows for both body-through and bridge-through string loading, giving you one more option for customizing your bass setup to your preferences.
