An Entry-Level Model in the V Series Designed to Get Straight to the Sound
The Marcus Miller V3P carries the DNA of the V series with a modernized Jazz format and ergonomics designed for long playing sessions without fatigue. Here, the approach is deliberately streamlined: no active preamp, but fully passive electronics that highlight playing dynamics and the natural character of the craftsmanship. An electric bass that prioritizes efficiency, musicality, and instant adjustment, equally comfortable in rehearsals and home studios.
Who Is the Marcus Miller V3P For?
Thanks to its accessible handling and Volume/Volume/Tone control logic, the V3P is perfect for beginners who want to start with a serious instrument, as well as for intermediate bassists looking for a reliable passive Jazz bass for the stage. It naturally adapts to funk, jazz, pop, rock, and groove-oriented styles: adjust the two volumes to switch from a full sound on the neck pickup side to a more biting and edgy tone on the bridge side.
The Sound
The combination of mahogany (body) and hard maple (neck) offers an effective balance between warmth and precision: mahogany enhances the density of the lows and the presence of the mids, while maple improves attack and note clarity. The rosewood fingerboard adds a slight smoothness in the treble and a more "organic" feel. The Marcus Standard J Revolution pickups deliver a very expressive Jazz character, with great right-hand sensitivity. The full set of controls Volume (neck pickup) / Volume (bridge pickup) / Tone (master) allows quick shaping of the tone, from bright and snappy to a softer, more vintage feel.
