Marcus Miller - V3-5 Black

With this Sire Marcus Miller V3-5 Black 5-string bass, you can work out the sound with ease thanks to the two single pickups. The neck pickup adds roundness for laid-back lines. The bridge pickup adds more precision to the attack.

The balance control lets you quickly balance the two sources. You can go for a warmer or sharper sound, depending on the piece. It's easy to adjust while playing.

The Heritage-3 preamp gives you access to a 3-band EQ with midrange control. The active/passive switch allows you to adapt the response according to the situation. This is useful both in rehearsal and live performance.

The mahogany body keeps a good midrange presence. Notes remain defined without losing depth. The black finish is sober and straightforward.

The 34" scale ensures balanced tension on all 5 strings. The B string can be used in a variety of styles. The overall sound remains coherent.

The maple neck with C-profile remains comfortable over time. The rosewood fingerboard with rounded edges gives a softer feel under the fingers. The 9.5" radius makes it easy to move around.

The through-string bridge helps to keep the notes in tune. Open gear action ensures stable tuning. The 3-ply pickguard enhances the contrast with the black finish.
