Sire V7N A4 Marcus Miller New Gen 4-string active bass guitar natural

Modern jazz bass with Heritage-3 preamp

The Sire Marcus Miller V7 New Gen is the revamped version of the bass that made Sire a household name. The North American alder body provides an open, balanced fundamental tone with a tight attack and a clearly defined low end. The New Gen version has been updated in many respects: a revised neck profile, stainless steel frets, and lighter hardware for better balance on the strap.

Edgeless™ neck with stainless steel frets

The neck features the new C-profile with Edgeless™ rounded fretboard edges, allowing the hand to glide over it without sharp transitions. With a 34-inch scale length and a 9.5-inch fretboard radius, the bass plays familiar, while the 2.4 mm stainless steel frets show hardly any wear and allow for smooth bends.

Marcus Heritage-3 with mid-frequency control

The Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups are amplified by the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp. In addition to treble and bass, it has a mid-control with adjustable mid-frequency, allowing you to sculpt the bass from a classic transparent jazz sound to a full, present midrange. The bass control doubles as a push-pull switch: pulling it out sets the bass to passive, so you can continue playing even without a battery.
