J-style bass devotees will find myriad reasons to add the Sire Marcus Miller V10 5-string bass guitar to their collections. The V10 is positively loaded with top-level design features and appointments that result in wonderful tone, playability, and stage-ready presentation. To begin, the V10 features a resonant swamp ash body and a solid maple top with a flamed maple veneer, yielding a punchy, pristine, and powerful bass tone. A roasted flamed maple neck and fingerboard offer impeccably smooth playability, ensuring a comfortable response up and down the neck. And the Marcus Premium-J Revolution pickup set is paired with a Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp system, and they work together to deliver authoritative, incredible low-end tone. Finally, to add even more comfort, a Sire-designed Curved Top upper bout lets your arm rest and relax more easily while you perform — an added touch that bassists really appreciate. The Marcus Premium-J Revolution pickup set in the V10 has been wired for maximum low end and treble response, thanks to combining Alnico II and V magnets. Many bass players will attest that it is this sonic merging of bass and treble that produces the sweetest possible tone. With these two premium pickups, you will hear the difference across a variety of styles. Add in Sire's Marcus Miller Heritage-3 preamp system, multiple tone controls, and a 3-band EQ, and you get a dizzying array of tone-shaping options. From jazz to funk, rock to metal, these pickups and preamp will let you go all the places you want to go! The feel and response of any bass neck are tantamount to a solid performance. The roasted flamed maple neck and fingerboard on the V10 ensure top-level tone and response. Roasting involves a special kiln-drying process that removes any leftover impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its resonance and overall tone. Roasting also increases the strength and stability of the wood, making it less susceptible to humidity. In addition, a slightly asymmetrical rear side on the V10 neck means the top is more rounded while the bottom is slightly slimmer. The result is more comfort in the low string area and a more natural, fluid path to those higher notes. Add in rolled fingerboard edges, and the V10 neck is a true standout that will leave an impression upon first play! Features:
