Overseen by the great Marcus Miller himself, the MARCUS MILLER V7 Vintage New Gen 4-String solidbody electric bass (Tobacco Sunburst) is unquestionably one of the best iterations of the Fender© Jazz Bass© on the market, in a highly successful vintage/modern evolution!
While it retains the fundamentals (asymmetrical design, screwed maple neck, 34″ pitch, vintage 7.25″ radius), it unquestionably excels in terms of price/performance ratio.

The luthiery combines an American alder body, a screwed maple neck and an Ebony fingerboard (set with 20 frets). A positively traditional platform. It generates a well-balanced acoustic base, with dense lows, prominent mids and clear highs.
The Ebony fingerboard noticeably and musically compresses the sound, a parameter that may prove interesting in certain musical contexts.

Marcus Miller Vintage-J Revolution pickups and Marcus Miller Heritage-3 circuitry make this a modern model of exemplary flexibility. Equipped with two Jazz Bass pickups, an exhaustive panel of controls, and the ability to switch between active and passive modes, the V7 Vintage New Gen provides a vast catalog of tones. If you’re looking for an ultra-versatile bass, this is close to perfection.

The SIRE Marcus Miller V7 Vintage New Gen is a highly accomplished electric bass in which every component has been rigorously selected. The meticulousness of its construction is quite remarkable, with features that are rare on such an affordable instrument (chamfered fret edges).
Add to this undeniable playing comfort (very pleasant neck profile, 38 mm nut width) and you have the ideal model for the discerning musician looking for a high-quality bass at a realistic price.
It’s unquestionably on the podium of instruments in the mid-range category.
