Supercharged J-style Bass for the Studio and Stage

The Sire Marcus Miller V7 5-string bass is built to meet the performance needs of its world-renowned namesake — and Sire's commitment to quality is evident right out of the box. First, your fretting hand will delight to the touch of the ebony fretboard's rolled edges, which give the Marcus Miller V7 a smooth and comfortable feel that only adds to its exquisite quality. Plug in, and you'll experience rich, punchy tone from a pair of premium Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups. And as you begin exploring the vast sonic range offered by the Heritage-3 preamp system, you'll understand what an impressive full-featured instrument the Sire Marcus Miller V7 truly is.

A neck that plays like a dream

Crafted from hard maple with a smooth-as-glass ebony fretboard, the Sire Marcus Miller V7's neck enhances note definition and attack to perfectly complement the beefy sound of its alder body. Players at Sweetwater are amazed by its rolled fretboard edges, giving this bass a fast and comfortable feel like no other. This type of attention to detail gives the Marcus Miller V7 a custom shop playability that's sure to impress audiences and fellow players alike.

Heritage-3 preamp system unlocks unlimited sonic potential

Bassists of all stripes and styles will surely appreciate the Marcus Miller V7'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 V7 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.

Sire Marcus Miller V7 Features:

  • Bass with premium components built to meet the performance needs of Marcus Miller
  • Alder body with maple neck and ebony fretboard combine for rich, vibrant tone
  • Rolled fretboard edges create a fast, smooth playing experience
  • 2 Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups deliver punchy tone that can be shaped for any style
  • Heritage-3 active/passive preamp with 3-band EQ offers unlimited sonic potential
  • Real bone nut and all-steel bridge for superior tone and performance

Phenomenal.Five string marcus miller sire bass guitar
Best bass ever for its price. I love everything about it, it's pickups, sound, quality, frets, tone, setup, action, weight, exc...
Perfect Fit
My Sire V7 came ready to go. The neck was straight and the set up on it "would please the Gods"!!! It was even in tune when i pulled out of the box. I publicly thank whomever did the set up on this bass. I'm very, very happy with this purchase
Fire
Fire good bass
Best bass for you buck
I have been looking at J-style basses for over a year and a half now and I'm so glad I was finally able to pick this one up. After discovering Sire through my research and seeing Marcus Miller and other pros talk about them, I knew it would be the real deal. This bass has all the same bells and whistles that a Mexican Fender J-Bass has but for literally half the price. It's an absolute no brainer between the two. I adore the classic car-ish blue paint with the matching headstock and big blocky inlays. The pre-amp is great both passive and active and boosts the versatility even higher. The bass overall feels great for the price, stays in tune, and plays like butter. The only very minor notes I have is that out of the box it could definitely use some minor set up (action and pickup hight) and the knobs do feel a little off (which Marcus even admits in one of the interviews). Over all I'd say this is the perfect bass for pretty much any application. If you are looking for a quality, versatile bass that won't break the bank, stop looking. Because this is the one.
