Marcus Miller - P7 Alder-5 Black

The Sire Marcus Miller P7 Alder-5 Black 5-string bass lets you move from one register to another simply by adjusting the mix of pickups. The Precision pickup provides a solid base. The Jazz bridge pickup adds clarity to cut through the sound.

By adjusting the balance between the pickups, you can fine-tune the sound to suit your playing. You can go for a rounder or more precise sound. This gives you great flexibility without having to make too many adjustments.

The Heritage-3 preamp features a 3-band EQ with midrange control. The active/passive switch allows you to change response quickly. It's equally at home playing in a group or solo.

The alder body maintains good balance with a clean attack. Notes remain legible throughout the frequency range. The black finish gives a more sober, direct feel.

The 34" scale maintains a classic tension for a 5-string. The low string remains usable without losing definition. The overall sound is uniform throughout the neck.

The C-profile maple neck remains comfortable over time. The ebony fingerboard with rounded edges gives precise contact under the fingers. The 9.5" radius makes it easy to play a variety of styles.

The modern bridge helps to keep the notes firmly in place. Open-gear action maintains stable tuning. The tortoise pickguard provides a visual contrast with the black body.
