Product Description
The Sire V7 Vintage Swamp Ash-4 New Gen in Natural takes the classic 70s Jazz-style formula and refines it for modern players, with a focus on comfort, control and authentic Marcus Miller-inspired tone. A resonant swamp ash body, upgraded electronics and Sire’s ultra-smooth Edgeless neck design come together to deliver a bass that feels familiar under the fingers yet offers a remarkably versatile, expressive sound.
Seven years on from the acclaimed 2nd Gen, the V7 Vintage New Gen reflects extensive player feedback, with meaningful improvements rather than cosmetic tweaks. From the warmer, more musical Alnico pickups and powerful Heritage-3 preamp, to the upgraded control layout with active/passive switching, this bass is built to handle everything from tight studio sessions to dynamic live gigs while keeping that unmistakable vintage character at its core.
Vintage 70s Voice with Modern Versatility
At the heart of the V7 Vintage New Gen is a pair of Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups, voiced to capture the plush, rounded 70s Jazz bass sound associated with Marcus Miller. Using Alnico magnets and Formvar-style construction, they deliver a warm, expressive tone with plenty of clarity and punch, ideal for fingerstyle, slap and everything in between. Paired with the Marcus Heritage-3 preamp and flexible EQ, you can move from classic passive thump to bright, cutting modern tones in an instant.
Swamp Ash Body for Clarity and Snap
The swamp ash body is a key ingredient in the V7 Vintage’s sound, offering a lively, resonant response with clear lows, open mids and a crisp top end. This makes every note feel articulate and defined, whether you are holding down the groove or cutting through with melodic lines. The familiar double cut New Marcus Miller Jazz Type shape also provides excellent balance and comfortable access across the neck.
New Gen Neck with Edgeless Comfort
Sire’s New Gen neck design focuses on playability, with a comfortable C-shape hard maple neck and a hard maple fingerboard featuring Edgeless rolled fretboard edges. This creates a smooth, rounded feel along the sides of the neck, reducing hand fatigue and making fast runs, position shifts and long sets noticeably easier. The 7.25 inch radius and black block inlays complete the vintage-inspired look while maintaining a precise, modern feel.
Upgraded Controls and Active/Passive Flexibility
The updated control layout gives you precise command over your sound. A dual pot volume/tone control, pickup blender and stacked middle/middle frequency control work alongside dedicated treble and bass controls to fine-tune your tone. The mini toggle lets you switch instantly between active and passive modes, so you can enjoy powerful, sculpted sounds or pure, straightforward passive character at the flick of a switch, all with smoother-feeling control knobs for a more refined playing experience.
