Sire Marcus Miller V7+ A4L 2nd Generation Alder Bright Metallic Red Left-Handed Electric Bass Guitar

General

The second generation of Sire's 4-string Marcus Miller V7 basses have received several welcome upgrades, which means you're now getting even more value for your hard-earned money than the already amicably-priced first series offered. To kick things off, this fresh bass comes with two new Marcus Super-J Revolution single-coil pickups, the core magnets of which have been specially treated to get as close as possible to the sound of vintage, Formvar-wound pickups from back in the day. On the other hand, the trusty electronics section remains, and comes with a familiar Heritage-3 18V preamp that can toggle between both active and passive profiles and cut or boost the 80 to 2000 Hertz mid-range to sculpt the sound to shape. This is the left-handed edition.

The Marcus Miller V7+ 2nd Generation Alder: More Playing Comfort, Sound and Stability

When it comes to playing comfort, you'll notice the maple neck of this Sire bass has a different feel compared to the first gen models. While the neck still has a C-profile, the fretboard radius has been flattened to 9.5 inches and while they were at it, Sire have thoughtfully rounded off the ebony fretboard edges and fitted the neck with larger, medium-sized frets to accommodate slick bass riffs. A solid Heavy Mass Standard bridge has been installed to set up the V7+ with stable tuning, accurate intonation and a tight foundation sound and, to top it off, the classic look is tastefully polished off by an ash preamp cover.
