Product Description
The Sire V7 Vintage Alder-4 New Gen in Tobacco Sunburst is a modern take on the classic 70s Jazz-style bass, created in collaboration with Marcus Miller. With its North American alder body, upgraded Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups and powerful Heritage-3 preamp, it delivers the rich, punchy and articulate tones that defined an era, while offering the comfort and flexibility demanded by todays players.
At the heart of the New Gen update is a more comfortable neck with Sires Edgeless rolled fretboard edges, refined electronics and a slick active/passive switching system. Whether you are chasing tight, scooped slap tones, warm fingerstyle grooves or bright, cutting lines that sit perfectly in a mix, the V7 Vintage Alder-4 gives you the sound and feel of a high-end instrument at a remarkably accessible price.
The classic double cut Jazz-style body shape feels instantly familiar, while the 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and C-shape neck profile evoke vintage inspiration without sacrificing playability. Combined with a natural bone nut, premium open-gear tuners and a solid Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge, this bass offers reliable tuning stability and a resonant, responsive playing experience that encourages you to dig in and express yourself.
On stage or in the studio, the V7 Vintage Alder-4 New Gen is built to be a versatile workhorse. The blend of passive-style warmth and active tonal sculpting means you can adapt quickly to different genres and band settings, from funk and soul to rock, pop and beyond. If you want authentic 70s character with modern refinement, this Sire is designed to deliver.
Vintage 70s Tone with Modern Clarity
The V7 Vintage New Gen is voiced to capture the classic 70s Jazz bass sound that Marcus Miller is known for. Its Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups, paired with an alder body, provide a full, rounded low end, clear mids and a crisp top that cuts through without becoming harsh. This gives you the familiar growl and snap of a vintage instrument, but with the consistency and reliability of a contemporary build.
New Gen Neck with Edgeless Comfort
Sires New Gen neck design features a comfortable C-shape profile and Edgeless rolled fretboard edges for a smooth, broken-in feel. The 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and gloss-finished hard maple neck make position shifts effortless and reduce hand fatigue over long sets, so you can focus on your playing rather than fighting the instrument.
Flexible Active/Passive Electronics
Equipped with the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and a mini toggle for active/passive operation, the V7 Vintage Alder-4 gives you a wide tonal palette at your fingertips. In passive mode you get straightforward, classic Jazz-style tones, while active mode unlocks detailed control over bass, treble and a sweepable mid frequency, letting you fine-tune your sound for any mix or musical style.
Refined Controls and Classic Hardware
The upgraded control layout features smooth-feeling knobs and an intuitive arrangement that makes on-the-fly adjustments easy. Combined with the Marcus Miller Vintage-S bridge, premium open-gear tuners and a 3-ply pickguard, the hardware not only looks authentically vintage but also supports stable tuning and solid sustain, gig after gig.
