Electronics, Feel, and Premium Build
The V7 is built to provide flawless performance, whether you're laying down a fat passive groove or executing complex active solo lines.
The Heritage-3 Preamp System
- Active/Passive Flexibility: The heart of this Sire V7 4 string is the Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp. This advanced electronics package allows you to switch between true passive mode (for classic vintage tone) and a powerful active mode.
- Surgical Tone Shaping: The active circuit offers comprehensive 3-Band EQ with Treble, Mid/Mid Frequency, and Bass controls, allowing for precise sculpting of your sound. You can achieve anything from a subtle mid-scoop to a focused, cutting slap tone.
- Low Noise Design: The high-quality preamp is designed to operate with a remarkably low noise floor, ensuring your dynamic range remains pristine for both live performance and studio recording.
Classic J-Bass Feel and Premium Woods
- Roasted Maple Neck: The neck features a comfortable C-shape and a high-quality roasted maple neck (on certain models), providing enhanced stability and a luxurious feel that only improves with age.
- Alder Body Tone: Constructed with an Alder body, the V7 delivers a balanced, full-bodied tone with rich lows, articulate mids, and sustain—the classic tonewood choice for the Marcus Miller J Bass aesthetic and sound.
- High-Quality Hardware: Features the Sire Premium J-Revolution Pickups, designed to deliver a massive sound, paired with a robust V7 bridge system for solid tuning stability and sustain.
Reliability and Performance
This Sire V7 bass is engineered to be a workhorse. The combination of classic design and modern electronics makes it a truly versatile bass guitar suitable for covering any genre, from jazz and fusion to rock and R&B.
