A 5-String Bass in the Contemporary "Jazz" Spirit
The V7 Alder-5 BUR EN follows the lineage of Jazz-type basses with a decidedly modern approach: the aesthetics remain classic, while the electronics and hardware aim for precision and stability. The Burgundy finish, combined with details like ivory binding and tortoiseshell pickguard, gives it an elegant presence on stage and in the studio.Who Is This V7 Alder-5 For?
This 5-string bass is designed for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a wide sonic palette, from vintage groove to modern slap, without changing instruments. Its Jazz-style ergonomics and C-shaped neck profile suit both fingerstyle playing and more technical techniques. Ideal for funk, pop, rock, gospel, fusion, and studio sessions where definition and dynamics are essential.The Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance between full lows, present mids, and controlled highs, with a consistent response across the entire range. The maple neck enhances attack and clarity, while the ebony fingerboard adds precision and a "fast" feel under the fingers, highly appreciated for clean articulation and dynamic nuances. The Marcus Super Jazz Revolution pickup set delivers a Jazz-typical tone, detailed and expressive. With the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp, you can switch from an organic passive sound to a more incisive active tone, thanks to a full EQ including mids and mid frequency (dual potentiometer), allowing precise mix sculpting. The Pickup Blender facilitates blending between neck and bridge pickups, from warm roundness to crisp articulation.Technical specifications
