Marcus Miller - V6 4 Cordes LH Black

The Sire Marcus Miller V6 4-String Left-Hand makes its presence felt from the outset, with a full-bodied bass that descends without collapsing, and a high frequency that is sharp but never aggressive. This character comes from a combination of materials designed with left-handers in mind - the mahogany body provides the organic, woody warmth of mahogany, while the sandblasted solid ash top hardens the transverse response and projects the sound forward. The natural grain of the wood, revealed by flat machining, is not an ornament: it indicates a homogeneous density, with no parasitic knots.

The C-profile hard maple neck, fixed to the body by a four-screw steel plate, offers mechanical stability in the face of variations in humidity - hard maple does little work and transmits vibrations without unnecessary damping. The rosewood fingerboard with Edgeless™ rounded edges physically erases the edge of the slices: the thumb and index finger glide from one position to another without friction on the edge of the fingerboard, a geometry that reduces fatigue over long sessions. The 241.3 mm (9.5") radius remains flat enough to hold chords without buzzing, while allowing bends in the high register. The 38 mm saddle and 20 2.4 mm mid-range frets complete an architecture geared towards dynamic playing and precise attack. The 20 mm string spacing at the Modern-S Bass Bridge is aimed at bassists who alternate between slapping and picking without repositioning the right hand.

The Marcus Super-J Revolution set - two pickups in Jazz Bass configuration - captures a full-spectrum signal, from heavy fundamentals to crystalline harmonics. The Heritage-3 three-band active preamp (with no variable midrange frequency setting, deliberately fixed) allows direct sculpting: treble, midrange and bass can be metered in sharp steps via the push/pull control, which instantly switches to passive mode for a raw, touch-responsive signal. The DR Dragon Skin+ strings supplied as standard cover the slap register without excessive artificial brightness - a starting point consistent with the instrument's natural voice. Lightweight premium chrome open tuners keep the tuning under tension without weighing down the head, a detail that counts on a 34-inch (863.6 mm) left-handed tuning fork, where head-body balance is the key to standing upright.
