Sire Marcus Miller V7-4 Alder Burgundy Mist Elektrische Basgitaar

bass guitar, 4 string, alder, burgundy mist
Marcus Miller V7+ models are the new standard for J-type bass guitars of high quality and at affordable prices.

Jazz bass type is the standard bass model with its characteristic vintage sound. This is an all-round bass that is suitable for fingerstyle, slapping and all other techniques and styles of playing. With both a classic and modern feel & design, this new bass can produce the desired sound for any genre of music.

Marcus Miller basses are made from the highest quality materials.

North American alder body
A popular choice for most bass guitars is a North American alder body. Other basses in this price range usually use basswood or agathis tonewood, but Sire Guitars opts for the traditional North American alder which is known for its strong, clear and full sound, with solid mids and excellent lows which is perfect for the traditional jazz bass sound .

Bone nut
The nut is one of the most important parts of the guitar that affects the performance, playability and tone of the instrument. Depending on the quality of the material and its elasticity, the nut can improve or degrade the tone. Although the bone nut is more expensive and difficult to machine, it is believed to produce more balanced, clearer, and smoother sounds than plastic or other materials.

Ebony fingerboard
The fingerboard is made from very dense ebony that delivers bright, sharp and well-rounded tones.

Marcus Heavy Mass bridge
The Marcus Miller SIRE V7 bass is equipped with the newly designed Marcus Heavy Mass Standard bridge, which was specially developed at the request of Marcus Miller. This bridge has characteristics of a vintage jazz bass, but with heavy saddles, giving the bass a rich and punchy sound. The new Marcus Heavy Mass Standard bridge is a string-through body bridge mechanism that allows for a tighter, more accurate, and stable tone.

Rounded fingerboard edges
A real custom shop feature
We've taken the overall playability to the next level with the rounded fingerboard edges. What normally only custom shops can achieve is now available in the Sire 2nd Gen series. These rounded edges give players a firmer and more natural grip, compared to standard fretboards. We were aware of the difficulties we would encounter in our ambition to implement the rounded fingerboard edges in a mass production factory. Together with the production team, we worked tirelessly to make this theory a reality. This was quite a challenge; almost an impossible mission. We tried to make several adjustments to the production process and even introduced a new machine. The fact that our Sire basses also have bindings made this extremely challenging. But in the end we found the answers and we are excited to present the Rolled Fretboard Edges in all our 2nd Generation models.

Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups
We changed the magnetizing method of the Alnico magnet to imitate a similar aging sound from a 20 year old Heavy Formvar Pickup. We changed the coil to Plain Enamel and installed a program in a coil winding machine that allowed us to embody almost the same speed and wind crossover angle as the handmade winding. We decided to call this pickup technology "Revolution Pickup Technology".

Marcus Heritage-3 preamplifier
SIRE's unique preamp system is a perfect example of our technology and philosophy integrated into our instruments. With multiple tone controls, players have total control to achieve the perfect tone they desire. The use of 18v batteries allows the player to achieve unaltered natural sounds with strong and powerful outputs. With the 3-band EQ, players are able to output a versatility of sounds that will suit all music sessions and performances. All models are built with the option of both active and passive modes. Even in passive mode, the volume, tone controls and pickup balancer are fully functional, giving players greater control over the tone in any mode.
