Sire Marcus Miller V3-5 2nd Generation Black

General

Known for their excellent value for money and versatile sound, the Marcus Miller bass guitars from Sire have quickly become a house-hold name. Now, the second generation of 5-string V3 basses is here. Compared to its predecessor, this particular model comes with several interesting upgrades, including a mahogany body mounted with Marcus Standard J-Revolution pickups for a convincing sound. In addition, the fretboard edges have been carefully rounded to raise the playing comfort, and a sweet extra comes in the form of an ash battery cover. It's this level of attention to detail that immediately sets the new series of affordable Sire Marcus Miller basses apart from the competition.

The Marcus Miller V3-5: Jack of all Trades

Sire have chosen to equip the V3-5 2nd Gen with a Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp, which includes a special 3-band EQ designed to pull every possible bit versatile tone out of this bass. Dependable stability is guaranteed by a truss rod and a maple neck reinforced with two carbon-fibre rods, while an all-steel bridge solidifies the overall sound and keeps the tuning in check. What's more, this Marcus Standard Bass Bridge can be used as a top-loader or as a string-through-body, depending on what best matches your style. Either way, Sire serve up yet another high-quality, highly-affordable bass guitar.
