Sire Marcus Miller V7 Alder-5 Lh Ts En

A V7 Designed in the Spirit of Modern Jazz

The V7 Alder-5 LH TS EN is part of a family of basses clearly inspired by the great Jazz-style models, with a more contemporary approach to ergonomics and electronics. Its "New Marcus Miller Jazz Type" format retains the familiar silhouette and playing comfort sought by many bassists, while adding a more contemporary personality.

This version stands out with its 5-string configuration, elegant Tobacco Sunburst finishing and left-handed orientation. It is aimed at musicians who want to recapture the feel of a classic-style bass, but with greater low-end headroom, more advanced tonal control and hardware designed for both the stage and the studio.

Which Bassists and Styles Is It Suited For?

Thanks to its standard 34" / 864 mm scale length, C-shaped neck and comprehensive electronics, this model is equally suitable for a serious intermediate bassist or an experienced musician looking for a versatile 5-string bass. The 46 mm / 1.81" nut width provides the space needed for precise playing without making the instrument unnecessarily bulky.

Its playing field is broad: funk, pop, rock, soul, fusion, gospel, modern jazz and contemporary music. The passive mode will appeal to players who enjoy more organic and direct tones, while the active preamp makes it possible to achieve more sculpted, punchier or deeper settings depending on the musical context.

Balanced, Punchy and Highly Versatile Tone

The North American alder body provides a very balanced tonal foundation, with present lows, clearly defined mids and highs that never become harsh. It is a wood particularly appreciated on Jazz-style basses for its ability to remain versatile, whatever the style or playing technique. The maple neck adds attack and clarity, while the ebony key enhances playing definition, response speed and note-to-note articulation.

The Marcus Super Jazz Revolution pickup set gives this bass a precise, open and dynamic character. With the blend control between the pickups, it is easy to move from a tight, singing sound near the bridge to a rounder, fuller foundation by favoring the neck pickup. This design is particularly effective for quickly finding your place in a mix, whether playing slap, fingerstyle or with a pick.

The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp further expands the possibilities with bass, treble and midrange controls, plus an adjustable midrange frequency. This is a real asset for adapting the instrument to a room, an amplifier or a specific style. The mini active/passive switch provides welcome security and also lets you choose between a rawer, more traditional response and a more modern, shaped sound. Finally, the Heavy Mass Standard bridge promotes good note definition, stable low end and generous sustain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This bass easily accommodates a set of long-scale 34" / 864 mm 5-string electric bass strings, perfectly suited to its scale length. A wide strap is also recommended to improve comfort, particularly given its 4.70 kg weight, both during rehearsals and on stage.
