Marcus Miller - V7 Vintage New Gen 4 Cordes Natural

The Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage New Gen has the distinctive voice of the great jazz basses of the 70s - dense at the bottom of the spectrum, biting at the top - that only a North American alder body can reproduce with such organic generosity. The set of Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups, with their 70s-style spacing, deliver a clean attack and natural sustain that match the dynamics of the fingers without digital correction.

The hard maple neck has a New Gen C-Shape profile and a revised vintage geometry for a contemporary feel. The 184.15mm radius hard maple fingerboard allows low positions without hindering wide deviations, while the rounded Edgeless™ edges erase fatigue on long sessions. The 38mm bone saddle works intonation at the source, and the small 2.0mm frets give a direct, almost acoustic feel. The four-screw plate on steel anchors the neck-body assembly for lossless vibration transfer.

The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp - volume, balance, treble, midrange, bass - models the signal in active mode with a wide dynamic range; the passive push/pull restores the instrument's raw character when the electronics are removed. The tortoise plate and chrome fittings create a coherent retro aesthetic, designed for soul, funk and jazz bassists who want an honest tool as much as an eye-catching piece.
