Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage Ash New Gen 5-String

Classic J-Style Tone with the Faster Response of Swamp Ash

A new addition to the Sire New Gen series, the V7 Vintage Ash New Gen delivers classic J-style tone with a faster, more articulate response, refined by Sire’s latest comfort-driven updates. Vintage character, modern playability, and clean visual distinction come together in a bass built to feel familiar, sound authentic, and perform effortlessly.

This model features a Natural-finished Swamp Ash body that highlights the wood grain and stands out visually, while offering a traditional J-bass tone with faster attack, stronger upper-mid presence, and greater note separation than Alder.

Featuring a hard Maple neck and fingerboard for a familiar, consistent response, this bass uses a New Gen C-shape neck with a 7.25″ vintage fingerboard radius and 2.0 mm small fretwire to deliver an authentic traditional feel, enhanced by the Edgeless™ feature for added comfort.

The Marcus Vintage-J Revolution pickups with '70s spacing and Marcus Heritage-3 preamp (no mid control) provide an authentic, traditional signal path, with push/pull active-passive switching for streamlined versatility. The Vintage-S bridge, lightweight open-gear tuners, and black block/binding aesthetics underscore its classic character.
