Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage New Gen Electric Bass, Tide Pool

A Vintage-Correct J-Style Bass Refined with New Gen Consistency:

• The Sire V7 Vintage New Gen delivers an authentic old-school J-style experience with a truly traditional feel and tone. It's a bass that looks, sounds, and responds like a classic, while benefiting from subtle updates that make it more comfortable, balanced, and consistent for today's players.
• Vintage-Correct Neck Geometry with New Gen Playability:
• The V7 Vintage New Gen uses a revised New Gen C-shape neck paired with a 7.25" vintage fingerboard radius and 2.0 mm small fretwire, delivering a more traditional feel compared to the standard V7. Edgeless rolled fretboard edges improve comfort while preserving vintage geometry. Roasted maple neck options enhance stability and long-term consistency without altering the classic playing experience.
• Vintage-Voiced Electronics with Simplified Signal Path:
• This model features the Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickup set, voiced specifically for warm, articulate, traditional J-bass tone. The Marcus Heritage-3 preamp (no mid-frequency control) uses a simplified four-knob layout with push/pull active-passive switching, reducing complexity and preserving a more traditional tonal response.
• Traditional Hardware and Aesthetics with Updated Consistency:
• The Vintage-S bridge, lightweight open-gear tuners, and period-correct cosmetic details (dot inlays, binding, tortoise pickguard) reinforce the vintage positioning while benefiting from improved New Gen production consistency. Lightweight… tuners help maintain balance while retaining a traditional look and feel.
