A High-End Jazz Bass in the Spirit of the "V Series"
The Marcus Miller V10dx builds on the fundamentals that made "J"-style basses successful (balance, definition, and dynamism), while pushing them towards a more luxurious approach. Within the range, it stands out with its torrefied maple neck featuring a satin touch, highly appreciated for its stability, as well as Hipshot hardware (bridge and tuners) focused on precision, tuning stability, and comfort. The result is a bass with a classic look but a more modern and refined feel.
For Which Bassists and Styles
Thanks to its active/passive configuration and very detailed controls, the V10dx is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want to cover a wide range of styles with a single instrument. It excels in funk (sharp attack, articulate slap), jazz (dynamics and clarity), as well as pop and rock (solid foundation, presence in the mix). The mid control with frequency selection allows quick switching from a "vintage" tone to a more cutting and contemporary sound.
