Vibrant, Voltaic Sire Sonics: the Marcus Miller V6
Designed in collaboration with the renowned Marcus Miller, the Sire V6 expands the company's bass family with a lightweight, performance-ready instrument packed with versatile tone-shaping power. Featuring a mahogany body topped with solid ash, the sandblasted V6 offers a reduced-weight feel for extended playing comfort while delivering a broad and balanced tonal foundation. A pair of Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution Jazz pickups and the versatile Marcus Heritage-3 active/passive preamp with 2-band EQ and comprehensive sound-shaping controls invite deep sonic exploration, making the V6 a go-to for Sweetwater bassists across genres — from jazz and pop to R&B and rock. Signature Marcus Miller touches like the upgraded maple neck with an Edgeless rosewood fingerboard and the Marcus Miller Modern-S bridge further elevate the V6 into a stage-ready workhorse built to hold down the low end with confidence, clarity, and stamina — from the first note to the encore.

Optimized for main-stage magic
The V6's lightweight mahogany body and solid ash top deliver a balanced experience in terms of both tone and stature. While the reduced-weight J-style profile of the V6 expands the audiovisual palette of the V series lineup, it also sports familiar features, including the rolled Edgeless rosewood fingerboard and C-profile hard maple neck. This focus on tonal versatility and unmatched playability makes the Marcus Miller V6 a standout instrument, purpose-built for the demands of the stage.
Engineered to transform your tone
Equipped with Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution Jazz pickups — a brace of single-coil bass-shaping armaments — the V6 effortlessly taps into a wide range of time-tested tones, courtesy of Marcus Miller himself. Built with USA plain enamel coils for enhanced clarity, these pickups also use '70s-style spacing, positioning the single-coils closer to the bridge to capture Marcus’s signature tone. From snap and slap to biting and boisterous, timeless grooves spanning R&B, funk, rock, jazz, and pop are yours to wield.
Heritage-3 preamp system
No matter what styles of music you play, the suite of sonic-contouring capabilities supplied with the Marcus Miller V6 supports an immense range of pliable yet powerful low-end thunder. The onboard Heritage-3 preamp system supports an array of active and passive configurations, with the latter activated via the Volume knob’s push-pull control, allowing you to get as surgical with your tone as you like. Leave it in passive mode for a pure, organic bass thump; engage active mode and gain access to two bands of EQ and continuous blending that make it easy to cement your place in the mix.
