Marcus Miller - V5 Alder-4 Tide Pool

The Sire Marcus Miller V5 Alder-4 Tide Pool bass keeps things simple with a natural, responsive passive sound. You get straightforward playing without the need for a lot of tuning. The alder body helps achieve balanced lows and well-defined notes. This bass remains suitable for many styles of music thanks to its versatility.

The 2 Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups produce a sound inspired by vintage jazz basses. The neck pickup adds warmth and roundness in the lower end of the spectrum. The bridge pickup adds more precision and clarity. You can mix the two pickups easily to suit your playing style. Controls are kept simple, with volume for each pickup and overall tone.

The roasted maple neck feels great in the hand. The C-profile helps maintain a natural grip during long sessions. The maple fingerboard with rounded edges makes it easy to move around the neck. The 20 mm fingerboard spacing is comfortable for fingerpicking and slapping.

The Tide Pool finish brings a more modern colour while retaining the vintage spirit of the model. The white pickguard creates a clear contrast that stands out on stage. This bass is ideal for musicians who want a simple, comfortable instrument that's easy to use.
