Marcus Miller - V5R 4 Cordes LH Natural

The Sire Marcus Miller V5R 4-String delivers a typically new-generation jazz-bass acoustic: clean attack, meaty lows and highs that cut through the mix. This comes from the 70s-style spacing of the Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups with their signature Formvar windings - placed closer to the bridge, they deepen the midrange response and deliver the punch characteristic of Marcus Miller's sound, without any electronic correction, thanks to fully passive electronics with three controls: neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, overall tone.
The North American alder body in the new Jazz Type format approved by Marcus Miller combines lightness with good vibration transmission, while the C-profile roasted hard maple neck - fixed by a square steel plate with 4 screws - provides greater mechanical stability in the face of humidity variations, with a rigidity that translates directly into the clarity of the notes in the upper position. The rosewood fingerboard with its 241.3 mm radius and rounded Edgeless™ edges keeps the thumb in line regardless of hand position, eliminating fatigue over long sessions. Medium 2.4mm frets, a 38mm bone saddle and Premium Open-Gear chrome tuners complete a geometry designed for stable tuning and a secure feel.
The Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge with 20 mm string spacing promotes airy slap playing and precise fingerwork, while the black 3-ply pickguard and white Square Block markings on 1-ply ivory binding visually anchor the instrument in the jazz-bass tradition of the 70s. With its 34" pitch, this bass is just as much for the session bassist looking for a vintage sound palette without active electronics as it is for the scriptwriter who wants an instrument that's reliable night after night, delivered turnkey in a passive configuration with full tonal clarity.
