Sire Marcus Miller V7 Alder-4 Lh Awh En

A V7 that embodies the spirit of great reimagined Jazz-style basses

Within the Marcus Miller range, the V7 series holds a special place for bassists looking for the familiar touch of a Jazz-style bass, with more modern electronics and a significantly broader range of adjustments. This Alder-4 LH version retains that philosophy, combining a classic feel with a modern approach to tonal versatility.

The " New Marcus Miller Jazz Type " format is aimed at players who love timeless lines but do not want to be limited to a single color of sound. This left-handed version is particularly appealing to demanding musicians who want a genuine visual and sonic identity without compromising on ergonomics.

A versatile bass for the developing left-handed bassist and the seasoned musician alike

This electric bass is an excellent choice for an intermediate-level bassist, thanks to its immediate playing comfort and highly flexible adjustment options. It will also suit an experienced musician who needs an instrument capable of moving from one register to another without switching basses. The C-shaped neck feels reassuring in the hand, while the 38 mm / 1.50-inch nut width encourages a quick and natural playing experience.

Stylistically, the V7 Alder-4 LH is equally at home in funk, pop, rock, fusion, soul, gospel and modern jazz. Its electronics can deliver a direct, organic passive sound for vintage contexts, or a more sculpted and punchier response in active mode for live environments, dense arrangements and slap playing.

A lively, defined and highly versatile sound

The alder body provides a balanced response, with well-defined mids, controlled lows and sufficiently open highs to retain precision without excessive harshness. This is a highly regarded wood for basses of this type, as it offers a stable and versatile tonal foundation. The maple neck adds attack and clarity, which is especially beneficial for articulated lines, ghost notes and pick playing.

The ebony key, combined with a 9.5-inch / 241 mm radius, enhances the sense of definition and speed. Ebony promotes highly articulate note response, with a crisp attack and excellent note separation. On a versatile 4-string bass, this choice provides a genuine boost in precision, particularly for modern playing styles and technical passages.

The Marcus Super Jazz Revolution pickup set captures the spirit of Jazz-style dual pickups, offering impressive versatility for shaping the instrument's character through blending. The neck pickup can deliver a rounder, fuller and more singing low end, while the bridge pickup provides more bite, definition and presence in the mix. The Pickup Blender allows you to move smoothly between these two personalities instead of being limited to fixed positions.

The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp takes this flexibility even further with its active EQ and adjustable-frequency midrange control. This is particularly useful for adapting the bass to a room, an amplifier or a specific style. In passive mode, you get a simpler, more organic response, with volume and tone controlled by a concentric potentiometer. In active mode, the bass gains fullness, precision and impact while retaining a musical tonal foundation.

The Heavy Mass Standard bridge also contributes to the overall stability of the instrument. It promotes solid note support, strong sustain and an immediate response under the fingers. Combined with the Premium Open-Gear tuners, it helps ensure reliable tuning stability and a solid, reassuring feel for regular playing as well as live performance.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this bass, you can safely pair it with a 34-inch long-scale 4-string bass string set, perfectly suited to its scale length. A bass strap is also recommended to comfortably balance its 4.45 kg during rehearsals or on stage. Finally, a tuner and an electric bass stand are practical and universally compatible additions.
