Here for sale we have a Sire Marcus Miller V3 Electric Bass in a Tobacco Sunburst finish from 2018. Made in Indonesia, this Bass features a Mahogany body, a Canadian Hard Maple ‘C’-shaped neck, a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard, a set of Marcus Standard-J Revolution pickups and a Marcus Miller Preamp system.
The ‘C’ profile Maple neck is comfortable to play on and the satin finish lets the hand move effortlessly around the fingerboard. The frets are nicely rolled off on the edges and are a medium size, the dual cutaways give plenty of access all the way up to the 20th fret. The 9.5” radius strikes a perfect balance for easy fretting and sliding.
The Marcus Miller Preamp is incredibly flexible and allows the player to dial in a wide array of tones. The sweepable mid pot lets you set the desired frequency anywhere between 80hz and 2khz, very convenient when trying to find the desired sound. The active/passive switch along with the bass EQ gives you all of the power you could ever need, taking you all the way from crisp and articulate to deep earth shattering bass. As discussed in the Luthier Report below, the neck pickup seems to not be working on the current circuit and although this is not ideal, the EQ provides a broad range of tones, so even without the neck pickup you still have lots of tonal options.
