Description & Condition
Sire became famous for releasing basses supervised by Marcus Miller. (Titles omitted)
The quality of their guitars and basses is extremely high, and they have gained strong support not only from Marcus Miller fans but also from a wider audience.
This is the latest model, the "New Generation" V7 Vintage Alder-5, modeled after a 1970s JB bass.
While it's a replica of a 1970s model, it incorporates modern features such as active circuitry, Luminlay construction, and lightweight hardware.
The body is made of North American Alder.
The neck is made of 34-inch scale Hard Maple, and the fingerboard is made of Ebony.
The ivory binding and clay dot inlays give it a vintage-like feel.
The fingerboard features an edgeless finish with rounded edges, making it suitable for players who prefer smooth fingering.
Most players will likely have a positive impression of this feature.
The fretboard radius is 7.25 inches, faithfully reproducing the vintage style.
The pickups are the newly designed Marcus Vintage-J Revolution Pickup set.
It features a tight, trebly sound characteristic of 70s JB basses.
The preamp is a Marcus Heritage-3.
In the Vintage model, the middle frequency has been removed for more intuitive sound shaping.
The sound, with its moderately scooped midrange, tight, low-end bass, and sharp, sparkling treble, is reminiscent of Marcus's playing style.
It is particularly well-suited for percussive slap techniques and 16th-note fingerstyle playing where attack is important.
This bass is a perfect match for styles that love a classic look while wanting to control the wide range of a 5-string bass and the functionality of an active bass with a practical balance.
