Sire Marcus Miller V5 24-4 Mlg Mn

Between "Jazz" Heritage and 24-Fret Approach

The V5 24-4 MLG MN incorporates the essential codes of a "Jazz" type bass (dual pickups, playing comfort, clear and defined sounds), while adopting a more modern orientation thanks to its 24 frets. This extended range will appeal to bassists who enjoy exploring more melodic lines, working on solos, or simply benefiting from wider access without changing their familiar landmarks. The Mild Green finish, enhanced with black details (binding, inlays, pickguard), offers a sober and contemporary look, equally at ease on stage or in the studio.

For Whom and Which Styles?

With its simple and direct passive control (Neck pickup volume, Bridge pickup volume, Master tone), this 4-string is aimed at serious beginners who want an immediately understandable and easy-to-adjust instrument, as well as intermediate players seeking a unique bass to cover multiple contexts. It proves particularly effective in pop, rock, funk, neo-soul, and jazz: from warm, rounded tones on the neck side to precise, snappy sounds on the bridge side, the tone control allows you to adjust brightness in one gesture.

The Sound

The alder body promotes balanced low-mids and a clear attack, helping the bass line remain intelligible in a dense mix. The torrefied hard maple neck and fingerboard provide a quick response, firmer highs, and a very appreciated "snap" feel for back-and-forth playing, precise fingerstyle, and slap attacks. The Vintage-J Revolution set delivers a single-coil "J" type character: lots of definition, great dynamics, and articulation that highlights right-hand nuances. Thanks to the passive VVT wiring, you can go from a muffled, rounded sound to a more biting presence without unnecessary complexity.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This bass is a 4-string long scale model with a 34" / 864 mm scale length. You can therefore choose a 4-string long scale bass string set (34"). Its 45-105 gauge corresponds to the most common standard to maintain the expected tension and feel on this type of instrument.
