An "unplugged" bass in the Marcus Miller spirit, built for the stage
The M. MILLER GB5-5 BK is part of the Marcus Miller by Sire line: modern, accessible instruments focused on performance. With its dedicated "Marcus Acoustic Bass Shape" silhouette and piezo electronics, it targets bassists seeking an acoustic aesthetic, natural response, and reliable amplification whenever the situation demands.
For which bassists and styles?
This electro-acoustic bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced levels, as well as stage and studio musicians needing a more organic tone. It excels in pop, variety, folk, acoustic, reggae, and jazz, especially in "unplugged" settings (rehearsals, acoustic sets, songwriting). The 34-inch scale length retains electric bass familiarity, while the 5th string adds depth for modern arrangements.
Sound
The solid spruce top promotes a clear attack, good definition, and better dynamics: ideal for maintaining clarity even when playing softly. The mahogany body enhances roundness, sustain, and the "woody" character of the low register. When plugged in, the piezo pickup captures attack detail and acoustic character; the Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass EQ allows quick adaptation of the bass to the mix, and the Phase Switch helps reduce resonances and feedback depending on the room, position, and volume.
