Marcus Miller - V5 Alder-4 Black

The Sire Marcus Miller V5 Alder-4 Black bass is designed for musicians who love traditional jazz bass sounds. Its passive circuit keeps the sound direct and natural without complicated settings. The alder body provides a good balance between warm lows and clear highs. The result is a bass that's easy to use in a variety of musical styles.

The 2 Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups produce a sound inspired by vintage models from the 70s. The neck pickup gives a rounder, deeper bass. The bridge pickup adds more attack and precision. You can mix the 2 pickups easily with separate volumes. The overall tone can be quickly softened or lightened.

The roasted maple neck is a pleasure to hold during long sessions. The C-profile helps to maintain a natural feel under the fingers. The maple fingerboard with rounded edges makes for smoother movements. The 38 mm nut and 20 mm pickguard give a familiar feel for a 4-string bass.

The black finish adds a sober, timeless style. The tortoiseshell pickguard adds a vintage touch that's much appreciated on this type of bass. The result is an elegant instrument that works just as well in rehearsal as it does on stage!
