Marcus Miller - M7 Alder-5 Transparent Blue

The Sire Marcus Miller M7 Alder-5 Transparent Blue 5-string bass lets you work the sound with precision. The Pure-H humbucker can be used in series, split or parallel depending on the type of response required. You can adjust the character without changing bass.

The Heritage-3 preamp gives you access to a 3-band EQ with midrange control. The active/passive switch is quickly made according to the context. This allows you to adapt the output level and sound colour.

The alder body with flamed maple top maintains good overall balance. The attack remains clean with good definition. The transparent blue finish highlights the pattern of the wood beneath the surface.

The 35" pitch on the low string gives greater precision on the B string. The notes remain legible even in the lower frequencies. This helps when playing modern or more emphasised lines.

The maple neck has a C-shaped profile for a stable grip. The ebony fingerboard with rounded edges gives more direct contact under the fingers. The 24 frets allow you to explore a wide range of frequencies.

The solid bridge ensures that the notes are held firmly. The 18 mm spacing facilitates techniques such as slap. The tuning machines maintain even tuning across all the strings.
