Product Description
The Sire V7 Alder-4 New Gen Bass in Mercury takes Sire’s acclaimed flagship jazz-style formula and refines it for modern players. With an updated neck for easier playing, a simplified yet powerful active/passive preamp and ultra-durable stainless steel frets, this is a gig-ready workhorse that feels fast, sounds huge and stays comfortable for long sessions in the studio or on stage.
Built around a classic alder body and Sire’s own advanced electronics, the V7 Alder-4 New Gen delivers everything from tight, articulate slap tones to warm, vintage-inspired fingerstyle sounds. Whether you are upgrading from your first bass or looking for a reliable main instrument, this bass offers impressive playability and tonal flexibility at a very accessible price point.
The new generation neck profile and rolled fingerboard edges make every position feel broken-in from day one, while the stainless steel frets keep your setup feeling slick and precise for years. Add in the intuitive four-knob control layout with push/pull active and passive switching, and you have a bass that adapts effortlessly to any genre or playing situation.
Finished in a sleek Mercury colour, the V7 Alder-4 New Gen looks as professional as it sounds, making it an ideal choice for discerning players who want a serious instrument without breaking the bank.
New Gen Neck for Effortless Playability
The updated neck on the V7 Alder-4 New Gen is designed for comfort and speed, with a familiar C-shape profile that sits naturally in the hand. Combined with Sire’s Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges, it gives a smooth, broken-in feel that reduces hand fatigue and makes fast runs, stretches and position shifts feel more controlled and comfortable.
Simplified Active/Passive Preamp
Sire have streamlined the V7’s electronics with a clean four-knob layout and a push/pull control for active/passive switching. By removing the coil tap switch and focusing on what players use most, the preamp is easier to navigate on stage, letting you move from transparent passive tones to powerful, sculpted active sounds without overthinking your controls.
Stainless Steel Frets for Long-Lasting Precision
Stainless steel frets offer exceptional durability and a consistently smooth feel, standing up to years of bending, vibrato and heavy gigging with minimal wear. They also contribute to a snappy, articulate response that helps your notes cut through the mix, whether you are playing fingerstyle, pick or slap.
Classic S-Style Body with Modern Comfort
The familiar S-style body shape provides a balanced, ergonomic platform that feels comfortable whether you play seated or standing. The contoured design supports your picking hand and forearm naturally, helping you maintain a relaxed technique during long rehearsals and performances.
Features
- New Gen Neck with Rolled Fingerboard Edges - The C-shape neck and Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges create a smooth, comfortable playing surface that feels broken-in straight away, making fast lines and long sets easier on your hands.
- Streamlined Active/Passive Electronics - A simple four-knob layout with push/pull active/passive switching gives you quick access to both classic passive tones and powerful active sounds, so you can adapt instantly to different songs and styles.
- Stainless Steel Frets - Hard-wearing stainless steel frets resist wear and maintain a slick feel over time, helping your intonation stay accurate and your playing feel consistently smooth gig after gig.
- Comfortable S-Style Alder Body - The contoured S-style body offers a familiar, well-balanced feel that supports a relaxed playing posture, ideal for both practice and performance.
