Sire Marcus Miller V10 Dx Swamp Ash-5 Nt Mn + Case

A Premium Jazz Designed with Detail in the V Series

The V10dx is positioned as a premium variant of Sire's "J bass" spirit, with a focus on comfort and finishes. It stands out notably by integrating a torrefied maple neck, a choice appreciated for its stability and satin touch, and by featuring full Hipshot hardware. The whole retains the timeless elegance of the Jazz format while bringing a more modern and refined feel.

For Which Bassists and Styles

Thanks to its refined ergonomics and active/passive electronics, the Marcus Miller V10dx is perfectly suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile and expressive bass. It excels in funk (precise attack, slap), jazz (definition and dynamics), pop, and rock (solid foundation and presence), with a wide range of tone shaping to switch from a vintage grain to a more modern and cutting sound.

The Sound

The combination of swamp ash and a solid flamed maple top promotes a quick response, beautiful clarity, and a well-defined attack, while maintaining ample lows. The Marcus Super J Revolution pickups deliver the typical "J" character: definition, articulation, and balance, with excellent note-to-note clarity. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp adds real sculpting capability thanks to the mid control and its center frequency adjustment, while the mini active/passive switch allows you to instantly revert to a more traditional behavior if needed.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To make the most of its long scale, prioritize a long scale bass string set (34" / 864 mm), in either 4-string or 5-string versions depending on your setup. A sturdy strap is also recommended to fully enjoy its comfort when playing standing up.
