Core Advantages: Tone, Timber, and Electronics
The V7 Vintage Ash is engineered to provide authentic vintage tone and feel, backed by world-class modern electronics.
The Tonal Foundation: Ash Body Bass Guitar
- Swamp Ash Resonance: Crafted with a premium ash body, the V7 Vintage is known for its resonant, bright, and airy tone with strong sustain and clear highs. This wood choice provides the distinct sonic clarity favored by funk, fusion, and slap players.
- Vintage J-Bass Feel: The hard maple neck features a comfortable C-Shape profile and a 7.25" radius (on vintage models), delivering the familiar, broken-in feel of a classic instrument.
- Superior Stability: The neck is crafted from durable hard maple, providing a stable foundation that complements the brightness of the ash body.
Electronics: Active Power, Passive Purity
- Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp: The heart of this Sire V7 Vintage Ash is its powerful active/passive preamp. This advanced system allows you to instantly bypass the preamp for a pure passive tone (perfect for classic vintage grooves) or engage the active mode.
- Surgical 3-Band EQ: The active circuit offers precision control with dedicated Treble, Mid, and Bass controls, allowing you to quickly dial in everything from a deep, warm thump to a sculpted, modern slap tone.
- Vintage Pickup Spacing: The Sire Premium J-Revolution pickups are positioned at the traditional vintage spacing, resulting in a focused, midrange-rich tone that is slightly warmer and less scooped than modern spacing.
Reliability and Aesthetics
- Road-Ready Hardware: Features quality High Mass Bridge and reliable tuning machines, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and increased sustain—essential for a professional bass guitar.
- Timeless Style: With classic finishes and the option for block inlays (depending on the variant), the V7 Vintage Ash offers the iconic look and stage presence of a top-tier bass.
